Tutzing

Tutzing is a town on the shore of Lake Starnberg in Bavaria with parks and pathways overlooking the water. The community spreads across the rolling hills on the lake's northern edge, offering views of the Alps from many spots.

The settlement began in 742 when Benediktbeuern Monastery received land in this area. The place later became a noble estate and eventually developed into the residential community seen today.

The Protestant Academy Tutzing shapes the town's character as a place where people gather to discuss ethics and politics. You can see its buildings and grounds as you walk through, reflecting the community's focus on education and dialogue.

The town is easily reached by train from Munich and connects directly to other Bavarian destinations. The lakeside paths are well-maintained and pleasant for walking or cycling.

The Protestant Academy operates from a castle building that has hosted important discussions for generations. Many well-known figures from politics and society have shared ideas there over the decades.
