Garmisch-Partenkirchen Renames Park for Laura Dahlmeier as RTL Pulls Her TV Segment

Three failed recovery missions on Laila Peak leave her remains in place per her written wishes.

Overview

  • Municipal leaders in Garmisch-Partenkirchen voted unanimously to rename the Partenkirchen Kurpark the Laura-Dahlmeier-Park, a step supported by her family.
  • Officials said a formal dedication of the renamed park is planned in the coming weeks, building on a temporary memorial already in place.
  • RTL cut a pre-recorded biathlon challenge featuring Dahlmeier from its show Drei gegen Einen and dedicated the episode to her out of consideration and respect.
  • Reports detail three unsuccessful attempts to locate and recover her remains on Laila Peak, including a mid-September mission kept quiet at the family’s request before leaking via an Instagram post.
  • Dahlmeier, a two-time Olympic champion and seven-time world champion in biathlon, died in late July after rockfall struck her around 5,700 meters during descent with a climbing partner.
