Rebecca Bullock, 31, is believed to have been heading to Austria to support a friend at a funeral before the unprovoked attack on Sunday morning at Rosenheim railway station.
Ms Bullock was rushed to hospital, but despite the best efforts of medics, she couldn't be saved.
A 27-year-old German man, believed to be homeless, was arrested close to the train station and an investigation remains ongoing.
He has been detained on suspicion of murder but is being kept on remand at a psychiatric hospital.
Floral tributes were left outside the White Swan pub in Whitchurch, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, where Ms Bullock, known as Becca, worked.
A post on Facebook read: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we are having to write this. We are so deeply sorry to say that our beloved Becca passed away over the weekend whilst away on holiday.
"All our thoughts and condolences are with her family at this time.
"Becca was much loved by all of the team at the White Swan and our amazing locals.
"At this time, we will not be saying any more, out of respect for Becca's family. The pub will be closed today and tomorrow, and we will update you all in due course.
"Our priority at this time whilst we try and comprehend this tragedy is Becca's family and our team."
One social media user wrote: "[She} was an old soul and everyone in our local always felt safe and secure, and she turned the local around to modernise it but also keep it a welcoming safe space for our community."
They added: "A true professional in hospitality with grace and dignity. [She] was so tolerant and non-judgemental. We are absolutely devastated for her loss and for the loss her family."
One friend posted online that she was the "local landlady" and added she was on her way to Austria to support her friend.
Vice-chairman of the parish council in the village, Richard Shuffill, 82, said she would be missed by her whole community.
Mr Shuffill told The Sun: "She was always pleasant and friendly.
"No one can believe what’s happened and she will be terribly missed.
"Her death has come as a real shock and it’s a huge loss to our community. I only saw her Saturday lunchtime and then 12 hours later, bless her, she is no longer with us."
Other social media posts show Ms Bullock running the 2022 London Marathon for charity.
The Foreign Office said it was supporting the family of a British woman who died in Germany, and that it was in touch with local authorities.
