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.

1929 - The Cartoonist from the Mountain – Olaf Gulbransson

The cartoonist from the mountain – Olaf Gulbransson High above Tegernsee, Olaf Gulbransson created significant works of European drawing. Today, the Olaf Gulbransson Museum—just a few steps from the Bräustüberl—commemorates his fascinating life's work. The "Old Man from the Mountain," Olaf Gulbransson (1873–1958), was a caricaturist for the legendary "Simplicissimus" magazine and one of the most important portraitists of his time. In 1929, the Norwegian-born artist settled above Tegernsee, where he created his multifaceted work at the Schererhof. After his death, friends, including Theodor Heuss and Ludwig Erhard, honored his life's work with the Olaf Gulbransson Museum, opened in 1965 in Tegernsee's Kurpark—just a few steps from the Bräustüberl. Gulbransson remains an artistic enigma: Norwegian Bavarian or Bavarian Norwegian? One thing is clear, however: his works are among the pinnacles of 20th-century European drawing.
