History

change

It is first mentioned as Stoufun in AD 868.[2] It was originally part of Swabia. It joined Bavaria in 1805 with the Peace of Pressburg.

Oberstaufen was the first town in Germany to be on Google Street View.[3] This was because of a marketing campaign by the Oberstaufen tourist industry.
