Oberstdorf is very delighted about an outstanding success: in the competition for the "most sustainable holiday destination in Germany" Oberstdorf won first place in the category "starter". This award expresses the appreciation for the constant commitment of Oberstdorf to support and promote a sustainable and climate-friendly travel industry.

Since 2017 the Community of Oberstdorf has been honored as "Fairtrade Community".
The criteria which influence our purchase decisions have been expanded to terms like regionality, organic production and fair trade. For Oberstdorf regional farming and fair trade belong together, because every day we consume products made out of resources which cannot be cultivated here.
Like this, the Fairtrade Community of Oberstdorf promotes regional farming as well as the support of farmers in developing countries.

The protection of biodiversity and being sensitive to the needs of our ecological system is of central importance for a more cautious enjoyment of nature. In Oberstdorf "being cautious" means the idea of a sense of community "Zämed duss".
The term Zämed duss is a regional phrase which means "outdoor together" spoken in the tradiotional Oberstdorf dialect, to remind and sensitize us that we are all outside for the same reason: to enjoy nature. Our nature with all the species-rich flora and fauna needs to be protected and preserved, appreciated and respected. Every day our nature is doing magnificently well and attracts us with its simple presence and beauty.
