Excursion tip from Munich to Lake Starnberg: Munich - Münsing - Ammerland was Loriot country!
Loriot was an honorary citizen of Münsing and he was often seen in Ammerland on Lake Starnberg
Memory of the Graf and Loriot bakery
Starnberg Lake near Munich. LORIOT, whose noble name was Vicco von Bülow (1923-2011), lived on Lake Starnberg for a long time. Ammerland was his home. The Berlin-born illustrator and humorist Loriot soon moved to Munich and finally to the community of Münsing on Lake Starnberg. Here Loriot sat in the romantic garden, mostly hidden behind a peaked cap/cap and a scarf, to enjoy the delicious fish from the court fishing master Sebald. Whenever we stop by there, we inevitably think of the grand master of dry humor. His pugs were always there because, according to Loriot: "A life without a pug is possible. But it's pointless."

Film location: Graf Bakery and Rattlinger Bakery in Ammerland
And he bought his rolls in the Graf bakery and yes, it's true, he signed the tiles in his favorite baker's bakery. - Today scenes from "Hubert without Staller" are playing here - the bakery is renamed Rattlinger every time for the show. Film location pilgrims and fans often came here and were quickly convinced by the high quality of the master baking art. The crime show has made the Graf bakery, which has now unfortunately closed (after several generations of master bakers) due to a lack of staff, known nationwide.
There used to be a jetty for the Starnberger See shipping company when traveling to Ammerland
A small drawback for the journey: unfortunately the jetty in Ammerland was removed a few years ago, so that the Starnberger See-Schifffahrt will no longer travel to this particularly romantic place on the lake. Locals and guests will miss this journey!

LORIOT's drawings, films and books are still well-known classics today
His humor will surely delight generations to come. Whether it's about leisure sports, Christmas at the Hoppenstedts, the famous piano of the aunt from America, Odipussi or Papa ante portas, Loriot's humor is immediately present to connoisseurs just by hearing the title.
Loriot published numerous popular books with the Swiss Diogenes Verlag, which are still popular classics.

Loriot's "Men in the Bath" have even been brought life-size to Münsinger Platz am Bach
With the Loriot Fountain in the shape of that same bathtub, a worthy monument was erected to the honorary citizen of the community of Münsing on Lake Starnberg. The two men sit in the tub and from time to time in the summer they spit a stream of water, but it doesn't hit. Or is it?

LORIOT, the master of humor and the creator of these characters, would have liked it if visitors excitedly asked: And where is the duck?
