The Buzi is created

Emil Kneiß created a drawing in the Bräustüberl that would make history: “Man and Dog” quickly became the popular “Buzi,” the friendly ambassador of Tegernsee’s beer culture.

In 1930, an inconspicuous caricature first appeared in a Munich newspaper: a stately gentleman with a small dog on a leash. Soon after, this charming duo found its place on the wall of the Tegernsee Bräustüberl – painted by the humorous Munich artist Emil Kneiß. Whether as a thank you for a bill or purely out of a beer-loving mood is unknown. But one thing is certain: Kneiß's "man and dog" quickly became "Buzi," an unmistakable symbol and friendly patron of the Bräustüberl. Kneiß, known for his insightful caricatures of Munich's beer and everyday culture, gave Tegernsee a lovable landmark that is as popular today as it was then.
