Conviviality and tradition for generations.

Our story

Founded as a small "Bräustibl" (brewery) for thirsty brewers, initially by the Tegernsee Monastery Brewery and later by the Ducal Bavarian Brewery, the Tegernseer Bräustüberl has long been one of Bavaria's most famous taverns. Its reputation is primarily characterized by the diversity of its guests, who early on created a unique atmosphere of preserving tradition and tolerant openness: During the reign of King Max I Joseph, also the first Wittelsbach brewmaster in Tegernsee, locals met European nobility here, followed by summer visitors and artists, the beautiful, the rich, the important, and the ordinary.

Almost everyone found their way to the Bräustüberl – and fell in love with it. At least, those who value authenticity did. Because the Bräustüberl and its regulars have never let themselves be manipulated. Peaceful, Bavarian, hearty, and cozy, the atmosphere is at this Tegernsee-Old Bavarian temple of tradition, which, above all, has always been a place of genuine human-to-human communication, where people look at each other and smile, regardless of their financial situation, title, origin, or religion.

1803 - Dissolution of the monastery

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.
