Berchtesgaden is often associated with the Watzmann, which at 2,713 metres, is the third-highest mountain in Germany and has a deep glacial lake Königssee. Much of Berchtesgaden's wealth has been derived from its salt mines, the first of which started operations in 1517. During the Napoleonic wars, Berchtesgaden changed hands a number of times. In 1805, under the Treaty of Pressburg, the area was ceded to Austria and French troops occupied the town and surrounding area for a short time. Berchtesgaden came under Bavarian rule in 1810 and became instantly popular with the Bavarian royal family, the House of Wittelsbach, who often visited Königssee and maintained a royal hunting residence in the former Augustine monastery, now the home of Franz, Duke of Bavaria. Tourism started to evolve and a number of artists came to the area, which reportedly gave rise to the "Malereck", literally painter's corner, on the shore of Königssee.
