Set amidst the idyllic Alpine foothills near the Osterseen lakes, the Penzberg Museum presents the world's largest collection of works by Heinrich Campendonk. As the youngest member of the "Blue Rider" movement, Campendonk found early inspiration in the mining town of Penzberg. The museum impressively showcases his artistic development – from early motifs to masterful reverse glass paintings full of color, depth, and expressiveness.

Public drinking water supply for the city of Penzberg. The pressure switch has to be pressed a little harder, then the water runs for longer. Apart from the floor, everything is clean and hygienic. Bottles of all sizes are easy to fill, and washing hands is also possible. I'm very impressed, many communities could learn a thing or two from this. Thank you Penzberg <3

The Barbara Chapel on the slag heap in Penzberg was built by the Jungritter social club to mark its 50th anniversary. The construction work was largely carried out by the club itself, and the building materials were mainly financed through donations. The front and gable walls were built from tuff, based on the surrounding rock used in coal mining. The wooden, elongated roof structure symbolizes the mine development. The free-standing bell tower is modeled on the shaft winding tower. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners.
