The area owes its name to a Benedictine monastery founded in the 8th century, whose monks even gave later Munich its name, \u201cbei den M\u00f6nchen\u201d (by the monks). For centuries the healing calm of the lake attracted the highborn; in neighbouring Wildbad Kreuth Russian tsars and an Austrian emperor took the cure at the springs.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the lake also bears a dark chapter. In the spa town of Bad Wiessee on the western shore, in the early morning hours of 30 June 1934, Hitler and his followers stormed a hotel and arrested the leadership of the SA, the prelude to the \u201cNight of the Long Knives\u201d, which plunged Germany definitively into dictatorship. Today this past lies beneath the peaceful surface of a lake whose water is among the purest bathing waters in Bavaria. The former monastery, one of the oldest in Bavaria, was for centuries a centre of learning and book art and later passed into a palace of the Wittelsbachs, which gives the lake its distinguished character to this day. The town of Tegernsee on the eastern shore cultivates, with its annual mountain film festival, the region\u2019s romantic love of the mountains, a cheerful counterpoint to its dark history.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/mit-hund-in-den-alpen\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">With your dog in the Alps \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/hunde-ausruestung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Dog gear \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Der Tegernsee s\u00fcdlich von M\u00fcnchen ist einer der beliebtesten und mond\u00e4nsten Voralpenseen Bayerns.
