History

It is first mentioned as Stoufun in AD 868. Historically in Swabia (Alemannia), it became part of Bavaria in 1805 with the Peace of Pressburg.

As a result of a marketing campaign by the Oberstaufen tourism industry, Oberstaufen became the first German town for which Google Street View was made available on November 2, 2010.

gollark: Oh, or we could have a *vaguely* registration-y thing which doesn't enforce nicknames but does offer a "verify you are this person" feature.
gollark: Kit accidentally made #f invite-only for some time, for instance. Or Sinthorion, or something.
gollark: Maybe. It could also ensure that channels don't end up beeized, which has happened before.
gollark: Anyway, thoughts on an IRC services thing for APIONET? I could reconstitute Apioid™.
gollark: January is not scheduled for tomorrow until 2028.
