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.

1930 - The Buzi is created

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. Bräustüberl Newspaper 83 (2017)
