Tegernsee, Bavaria, Germany Genealogy

History
Tegernsee is a beautiful town on the shore of Tegernsee lake in southern Bavaria. It is in the Miesbach district, at an elevation of 747 m (2,451 ft) above sea level. There are a few other towns around this lake. They run into each other and so when looking for information on an ancestor from Tegernsee it is a good idea to check them also.(Rottach-Egern, Bad Wiesee and Gmund am Tegernsee.)
 * The original settlers of the area around the Tegernsee lake were Illyrians who arrived in the early Stone Age
 * The town has its origins in the Tegernsee Abbey, which was founded in 746. See Tegernsee Wikipedia
