Leisure tip: for Munich visitors

 Leisure tip for visitors to Bavaria: Ammerland on Lake Starnberg

 

Small forests, green meadows and in the distance the snow-covered peaks of the Alps and then Lake Starnberg with fresh fish in the snack garden

 Münsing - Ammerland on Lake Starnberg. We drive from the beautiful Bavarian state capital Munich south, Solln, Pullach and then soon towards Wolfratshausen and Münsing to Lake Starnberg. Small forests, green meadows and in the distance the snow-covered peaks of the Alps and above all the wide, blue sky with bright sunshine. We roll through Icking, Dorfen towards Höhenrain and then on via Münsing towards Ammerland.

Ammerland and the crime series “Hubert and Staller” and later “Hubert without Staller”


 

The town of Ammerland has become known beyond the borders of the Bavarian Oberland, not least because of the crime series "Hubert and Staller" and "Hubert without Staller".

The Graf bakery is renamed the Rattlinger bakery as the location for every film shoot for the crime series.

Here you can sit outside when the weather is nice and enjoy the best cake on the lake (editor's opinion): fresh and baked on site by master baker Hubert Graf and his nice master baker.

None other than Loriot has immortalized himself in writing here in the bakery. - By the way, Loriot also got the beautiful fountain monument in Münsing by the small park: a bathtub for Loriot. See the photos in our article: Loriot's 100th birthday - memory of Loriot. LORIOT - Vicco von Bülow - lived with his pugs in Ammerland on Lake Starnberg. On November 12, 2023, the grand master of middle-class humor Loriot would have been 100 years old (IN GERMAN: Kein geringerer als Loriot hat sich hier in der Backstube schriftlich verewigt. - Loriot bekam übrigens auch das schöne Brunnendenkmal in Münsing am kleinen Park: eine Badewanne für Loriot. Siehe hierzu die Fotos in unserem Artikel:  Loriots 100. Geburtstag - Erinnerung an Loriot. LORIOT - Vicco von Bülow - lebte mit seinen Möpsen in Ammerland am Starnberger See. Am 12. November 2023, wäre der Großmeister des gutbürgerlichen Humors Loriot 100 Jahre alt geworden)

A scenic route towards Lake Starnberg promises a day of vacation


The village of Münsing also includes the small, idyllic town of Ammerland, which is characterized by the traditional Graf bakery, the castle of the Counts Pocci, the garden of the Seebald court fishery on Lake Starnberg and, last but not least, by the loss of the beautiful steamer jetty at the "Hotel am See" - a few years ago years ago - is still known to many people.

 

The SEESHAUPT docked at the steamer jetty in Ammerland, among other places - here is our archive photo from 2018, photo press archive: Helga Waess

 


The steamer pier will be sorely missed by locals and guests.

 

By the way, Count Pocci was the father of Kasperl Larifari! Inventor of the Punch and Judy show


And his summer palace was here in Ammerland. For 30 years, Ammerland on Lake Starnberg was Franz Graf von Pocci's home. A visit to Ammerland on Lake Starnberg allows you to experience the idyll in which Franz Graf von Pocci grew up.

Francis of Pocci


The little and later big Franz spent 30 years of his life here. What might it have been like a good 200 years ago for the child Franz von Pocci when piano, lessons and drawing lessons regulated the day at Lake Starnberg?

 There was certainly time for the lake and the forests. So it is not surprising that childhood and children play a major role in his later writing and drawing work.

About Count Pocci - here is our article: Pocci is far, far more than a street name and a subway station in Munich - The exhibition “Franz von Pocci and Humor” shows the royal court official as a caricaturist and puppet count (IN GERMAN: Zum Graf Pocci - hier unser Artikel:  Pocci ist weit, weit mehr als ein Straßenname und eine U-Bahn-Station in München - Die Ausstellung „Franz von Pocci und der Humor“ zeigt den königlichen Hofbeamten als Karikaturist und Kasperlgraf)
