Ammerland: GRAF Bakery reopens after six months!
Lake Starnberg is worth a trip whatever the weather, and the delicious cakes at the reopened Graf Bakery in Ammerland are definitely worth it! Tested today ;-)) :-) Delicious, delicious!!!
Franz Graf is the fourth generation to take over the traditional Ammerland bakery Graf, which has existed since 1905 (Deutsch, Français, Italiano)
Ammerland on Lake Starnberg. Lake Starnberg is located about 40 km from the gates of Munich in the beautiful Alpine foothills: There are many interesting places around Lake Starnberg. Today we were on the east side of the lake in the tranquil Ammerland region, which belongs to the municipality of Münsing. Despite the rain and snow showers, the trip was appealing because we had heard that the GRAF Bakery has reopened since the beginning of March 2025. The cakes from the Graf family's pastry chefs and master bakers convey a sense of life through the palate and allow you to relax from everyday life. "Bäckerei GRAF - In 4 generations since 1905 - "BAKERY - CONFECTIONERY - STAND-UP CAFÉ," is what it says in large letters on the shop's panoramic windows. The traditional bakery GRAF on the main street in Ammerland, on the beautiful Lake Starnberg, is known throughout Germany. It was and still is a filming location in the successful early evening crime series "Hubert and Staller" and later "Hubert without Staller." For the early evening series, the bakery is renamed "Bäckerei Rattlinger" on some filming weekends.

The story of the Graf Bakery continues!
When the weather is nice, the terrace is furnished with chairs and filled with locals and vacationers, because they know that this is where you can find the best, freshest, and tastiest cakes on the lake.
Locals from the neighborhood – even us from Munich… – are thrilled that their bakery has reopened, because:
Master baker Hubert Graf (65) closed his traditional bakery about six months ago due to a "lack of staff."
Now Franz Graf is continuing his family's business as a pastry chef and master baker.

It's great that the profession of baker and pastry chef seems to be in the Grafs' genes, after all, this bakery has been a family business for 120 years!
And so it's no surprise that Regina and Hubert Graf's son, 26-year-old Franz Graf, is reorganizing the business as a pastry chef and master baker.
Today we enjoyed cheesecake and coffee in the standing café, chatted here and there with the other guests and the waitress... and saw the beautiful lake in the distance.

Cakes and baked goods from the Graf bakery, or cheese and sausage from local producers, complete the selection
For residents, vacationers, and campers at the lake, this small shop in Ammerland is a short walk for quick shopping.
Order a warm Leberkäse roll, a fresh coffee, or a cold drink, or buy pasta or a bottle of eggnog from Dietramszell in addition to bread and baked goods. For Sunday breakfast, quickly pick up Straubing jam and rolls—and you can also pick up spirits from the Sauerlach Kiendl distillery for a quick gift.
And then there's the Thomahof farm in Königsdorf, which supplies the fresh produce counter with fine sausages, as well as the many cheeses and yogurt that come from nearby Ettal.
Those who shop here buy organic goods and find products with short transport routes.
...even on weekends:
