Tegernsee station

Tegernsee station is a railway terminus built in Heimatstil with decorative plaster details and broad transverse gables at 759 meters elevation. The building displays characteristic features of this regional style, including ornamental frameworks and a distinctive saddle roof structure.

The station opened on May 1, 1902, as the terminus of the railway line extending from Gmund and transformed transportation connections to the valley. This expansion marked a turning point in how the region connected to surrounding areas.

The station building incorporates traditional Bavarian architectural elements, including iron Perrongitter platforms and a preserved signal box that represents regional construction methods.

The station operates throughout the year with regular train services to Munich via Holzkirchen and Schaftlach. Visiting during off-peak seasons makes it easier to explore the building and its platforms without crowds.

The building took its Heimatstil form during a period when this architectural approach was fresh and blended regional building traditions with modern railway needs. The mix of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary construction techniques from that era makes it a noteworthy example of how regional identity found expression in transport infrastructure.
