Sonthofen

Among Bavaria’s cities, Sonthofen stands out for its position where the Ostrach meets the Iller beneath the Allgäu Alps. Often regarded as Germany’s southernmost city, it serves as the administrative centre of Oberallgäu and sits in an Alpine valley between Oberstdorf and the Austrian border. The Iller links Sonthofen to the wider Bavarian foothills, while the surrounding mountains shape everyday life and regional travel. Market rights were granted to Sonthofen in 1429, reflecting its longstanding role as a local trading centre.
