background
The place Oberalting was first mentioned in a document as Alamuntinga in 804. In the further history, the places around the Pilsensee belong to the domain of the noble families at Seefeld Castle.
Today's political community Seefeld was created in 1978 during the Bavarian regional reform through the merger of the communities Oberalting-Seefeld, Hechendorf am Pilsensee with Güntering and Meiling with Delling.
Seefeld lies on a slight slope and faces northwest on the east bank of the Pilsensee. The castle is located immediately south of Seefeld, the district of Oberalting with the church and the town center is directly north of Seefeld. The districts of Güntering and Hechendorf are on the opposite north-west bank of the Pilsensee, about one kilometer away.

Tourist Attractions

- Particularly worth seeing inside is the baroque high altar (around 1670) and the tombstone on the west wall (Sweiker von Gundelfing, date 1421);
- Eichenallee Seefeld-Wessling: The trees on Staatsstraße 2068 (access road from Weßling to Seefeld) were planted in 1770 by Count Anton Clemens zu Toerring-Seefeld. The 765 oaks were the only oak alley in Bavaria at the time, today it is a listed building and the oldest oak alley in Europe.
Pilsensee
The Pilsensee, formerly also Seefelder See and also called Binsensee because of the reeds and rushes on the shore, is the second smallest of the five large lakes in the region with an area of 1.95 km² and approx. 17 m depth.
About a third of the 6.5 km bank length is protected as a biotope and inaccessible, it is "prohibited to enter". Most of the west bank and another 43 percent of the length of the bank is a residential area and is therefore also closed to the public. Only about seven percent of the entire bank is accessible, the bathing facilities are mainly on the east bank on the Seefeld side.
The Pilsensee is actually a branch of the Ammersee: It was created after the end of the Ice Age through the delta of the Kienbach, whose gravel debris from the Andechser heights cut off the Pilsenseee from the Ammersee. The Herrschinger Moos then emerged on the floodplain.
The main tributaries of the Pilsensee, in addition to a few smaller streams and the rather insignificant groundwater stream, are the Aubach, the Widdersberger Bach and the Höllgraben. The outflow from the lake is the Fischbach, which later flows into the Ammersee. Around 1700 and later in 1839 there were even plans to reconnect the Pilsensee with the Ammersee and make it navigable, the height difference of the water level is only about one meter, but the plans were never implemented.
The water exchange of the entire amount of water in the Pilsensee takes about a year (for comparison: Lake Starnberg takes 21 years to do this).
The lake was overfertilized and endangered for a long time. The fish stocks were also endangered by the water quality until they were connected to the Ammersee sewage treatment plant in the 1970s. Because of the aforementioned high water exchange, the Pilsensee can again have excellent water quality today.
There is no boat trip on the Pilsensee, but there are private sailing, rowing and electric boats as well as the boats of various boat rental companies.
The small and not very deep lake freezes over easily in winter and is then a popular area for ice skaters and ice sailors.
It is possible to go around the lake on foot or by bike on the 11-kilometer Pilsensee circular route; drivers must take the detour via Herrsching.
Seefeld Castle
The castle was first mentioned in a document as Veste Seefeld ("Sevuelt") in 1302 and came into the possession of the Counts of Toerring-Jettenbach in the middle of the 15th century. The aristocratic family had acquired a small domain in the area around the Ammersee.
The complex has undergone various construction phases over the centuries, but has always retained the defensive appearance of a medieval castle. In the 18th century, the partial reconstruction into a baroque castle took place under the castle master field marshal Count Ignaz Felix von Törring-Jettenbach, who was the most influential man at the time Munich court was true.
The castle building itself is still privately owned by the count family and, like the castle park, is not open to the public. The farmyard with the two castle bridges and various exquisite shops in the courtyard is accessible in the palace complex, see at shop.
The former branch of the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich has been finally closed since the end of 2009 due to a non-extended lease.
