The clustered village of Münsing is located in a hilly landscape rich in meadows on the ridge of a moraine between Lake Starnberg and the Loisach Valley; the nearby Lake Starnberg cannot be seen from Münsing. The municipal area has an area of 52.2 km² and borders the entire south-eastern shore of Lake Starnberg for a length of approx. 15 km.
Numerous burial mounds as the oldest evidence of settlement in the region date back to the Hallstatt period around 750 BC. Dated. According to the findings of the Münsingen local historian Pastor Schnell, a clan leader or large farmer named "Munigis" founded the place that was then named "Munigisingen" at the beginning of the 6th century. The first documented evidence for the parish in Münsing dates from 740, in the Middle Ages Münsing was then a farming village and belongs to the Hofmark Ammerland of the Counts of Baumgarten.
