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.

1954 - Tegernsee becomes a town

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. Photo: Amidofoto.at Bräustüberl Newspaper 5 (2004)
