Tegernsee becomes a city

When Tegernsee was elevated to city status, the community experienced a new beginning: new infrastructure, cultural highlights, and ecological milestones have shaped the landscape ever since – and at the heart of it all, the Bräustüberl serves as a social meeting place.

In 1954, Tegernsee officially became a town – a milestone for the entire valley. As a regional center with a court, administration, commerce, and medicine, Tegernsee thus underscored its historical leadership. After thorough preparation by the local council and Mayor Dr. Wilhelm Dennler, Interior Minister Dr. Wilhelm Hoegner formally declared the town. The new status spurred investment: the town hall square and lakeside path were built, the Thoma Hall became a cultural center, and thanks to the circular sewer system, Tegernsee is now one of Europe's cleanest lakes. At its center is the Bräustüberl, which then and now remains a vibrant symbol of Bavarian lifestyle and a popular meeting place.
