Dissolution of the monastery

After the monastery was dissolved in 1803, the Tegernsee brewery survived all the upheavals, became a Wittelsbach family property, and with its Bräustüberl, became one of Bavaria's most famous restaurants.

With the dissolution of the monastery in 1803, Tegernsee Monastery disappeared – but the brewery survived. After being administered by the state and sold to Baron von Drechsel, it passed to King Max I Joseph in 1817, became the "Royal Brown Brewery," and remained in the Wittelsbach family by inheritance ("Ducal Bavarian Brewery Tegernsee"). The brewery pub developed into a popular meeting place for locals and tourists, who have flocked to Tegernsee ever since. Today, it occupies almost the entire former brewery wing and, after visiting the newly renovated parish church, invites you to enjoy the Bavarian way of life – at prices that even leave something for the collection plate.
