Max I. Joseph This was the subtle beginning of tourism in the Tegernsee Valley. Especially after the king also purchased the former treatment home, Wildbad Kreuth, in 1818, in which members of the royal houses such as Czar Alexander I of Russia or Kaiser Franz I of Austria held meetings. 14 It is also interesting to know that Tegernee was the location of the Hanns-Seidel Foundation until 2015 and a famous conference venue of the German political party, the CSU. And the Kaltenbrunn Estate: who still knows today that it was also King Max I, who already acquired the wonderfully situated property already in 1821 and turned it into a model agricultural operation, which is now Michael Käfer’s beautiful tavern on Tegernsee? After the king’s death, his spouse, Karoline, took over the management of all ducal possessions in the Tegernsee Valley. Out of their eight children, their daughter, Ludovika, reached particular Karoline
prominence as the mother of the Empress Elisabeth “Sisi“ from Austria-Hungary. And also Sisi herself visited lake Tegernsee in August 1888. The reason was her mother Ludovika´s birthday. Sisi’s father, Duke Max Joseph of Bavaria, was a nature-lover, very well educated and also a musical man, whose nickname was “Zithermaxl”. He always wore a Bavarian Janker (wool cardigan jacket) when on the go through his forests and fields or when hunting, thereby making the jacket socially acceptable, even amongst German high nobility. Numerous paintings bear witness of this to date. Today, in addition to the castle and the monastery church, St. Quirinus, the building complex of the former Tegernsee Monastery, where the Wittelsbacher family still resides by the way, also includes a brewery with the famous brewpub and a secondary school. The current landlord, Max Emanuel Duke in Bavaria, a great-grandson of the last Bavarian King Ludwig III, and his wife Duchess Elizabeth, have five daughters. The youngest, Duchess Anna, manages the family brewery: the Ducal Brewery Tegernsee. Her sister, the Duchess Helene, is landlady at the famous Wildbad Kreuth, the former sanatorium and later place where the CSU held its annual closed-door meetings. For years, the magnificent ensemble stood empty until Duchess Helene and her brother-in-law Andreas Freiherr von Maltzan recently brought the imaginative hotelier Korbinian Kohler on board. He leases a large part of the area and will realize more than a conventional hotel in the wonderful historic buildings: In keeping with the original spirit, there will be a mental retreat resort here in the future. We are pleased that the Tegernsee Valley remains a royal valley. The long tradition of the Wittelsbacher family on Tegernsee lives. 15
