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.

1885 - A heavenly picture for the Bräustüberl

A heavenly picture for the Bräustüberl Over 120 years ago, the painter Toni Aron paid for his beer bill in the Bräustüberl with a mural: His cheerful angels still convey how one feels here – simply blissful. Over 120 years ago, a legendary mural was created in the Bräustüberl: Because the Hungarian painter Toni Aron couldn't pay his bill in 1885, he was allowed to pay off his debts with art. This is how the famous six "angels" came into being, which still adorn the walls of the Bräustüberl today and depict the blissful feeling one feels when enjoying beer. Toni Aron (1859–1920) himself remained relatively unknown, although another of his paintings, "Beautiful Coletta," also attracted attention. But his Bräustüberl angels are still famous today – and guests and regulars alike still feel just as at home there as Aron's heavenly beer drinkers. The Tegernsee teacher Rudolf Pikola put the story of the mural's creation into verse almost 40 years ago: And in the year 1885, a painter once stayed in the beautiful Tegernsee region. He called himself Toni Aron. Yes, he liked the landscape and the lake and everything he saw so much, and the good beer he discovered tasted better and better every day. But the painters are often poor people, and art sometimes brings in little. Oh, poor Toni can't pay, and the debt to the innkeeper is not small at all. But in the Tegernsee Valley, an innkeeper also has an understanding for art, and instead of paying the bill in cash, Toni paints something on the wall. See, that's how the painter of debts and the brewery came up with the beautiful picture that shows us that a person feels as blissful as an angel when drinking beer. Bräustüberl Newspaper 11 (2005)
