The name
Chieming,
Chiemsee and the name of the area
Chiemgau go back to the Old High German personal name
Chiemo (7th/8th century). At the end of the 8th century the name
Chiemgau appeared for the first time in documents as
Chimigaoe but it stood at that time for a smaller area around the village of Chieming. == Education ==
