background

The original parish of St. Michael (later St. Aegidius) is probably even older than that Tegernsee Monastery (founded in 746), the name Gmund is first mentioned in a document in 1075.

The first bridge over the Mangfall was built in 1411 by the Rosenheim citizens to facilitate trade to Tyrol. The Thirty Years' War from 1618 - 1648 with the invasion of Sweden in 1632 and the plague in 1634 brought some depths in Gmund's history.

In 1805, Gmund was granted market rights by Elector Max, and the first artists and the paper mill moved there from the middle of the century. With the opening of the railway line in 1883, Gmund becomes a goods transshipment point in the valley, the first summer visitors reach the valley, tourism begins. The community has been a state-approved resort since 1975.

Further Districts the political community of Gmund are Dürnbach, Moosrain, Ostin, St. Quirin, Louisenthal, Eck, Gasse, Festenbach, Finsterwald and Jägerwinkel.

tourism: Surrounded by many well-known and famous villages, Gmund itself is the smallest in terms of population on the lake, but with all its districts it is the largest municipality on the Tegernsee. Gmund is located at the junction of the west and east Seestrasse, but can score with the still largely unobstructed north side of the lake and also has the best view to the south over the Tegernsee into the Tegernsee mountains. Almost half of the entire length of the Tegernsee lake shore belongs to the municipality of Gmund.

The more rural Gmund is considered the most down-to-earth and most family-friendly place in the holiday region. The municipality names around 850 guest beds, the focus of tourism is on the around 30 farms that offer “farm holidays”.

Industrial The paper mill Louisenthal GmbH, a subsidiary of Giesecke & Devrient, is of importance. The company produces banknotes for domestic and foreign customers. There is also a handmade paper factory that specializes in the production of the finest papers for unusual applications.

Known The former Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, the journalist Peter Boenisch and Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler were residents of Gmund. The best-known son of the village was the court architect Hans Reiffenstuhl (1548-1620), from 1617 to 1619 he led the construction of the brine pipeline together with his son Simon Bad Reichenhall to Traunstein.

Gmund is that Origin of Mangfallwhich drains the Tegernsee to the north from here. The historic tavern at the Mangfallbrücke in the middle of the village is the inn "Herzog Maximilian", it was already occupied as a tavern for the year 1449 and was the meeting point of the European aristocracy at the Tegernsee in the 19th century. The listed building is currently (2010) the subject of real estate speculation and a controversial topic in terms of the need for expensive renovation: it is empty and is only provisionally secured by the district office from final decay.

The estate is a popular excursion destination with a lido in one of the most beautiful places on Lake Tegernsee, but it is also correspondingly well attended on the weekends.
