Reichersbeuern between the Alpine foothills and history

Reichersbeuern lies on the edge of the Bavarian foothills, between Bad Tölz and Lake Tegernsee. If you are looking for a hotel, the town’s history and how you get there may lead your planning in different directions: Would you like to explore the town’s buildings, or is the rail connection important for your trip? Reichersbeuern has a direct connection to the BRB railway line to Munich and Lenggries. The railway line opened in 1874. Check the current timetable before you travel.

Baroque architecture and older church structures

The Greilinger Bach Chapel is a Baroque octagonal building with a tent roof. Bernhard Clas endowed it around 1700; it was consecrated in 1708. The chapel’s distinctive shape and the time when it was built are therefore both central to its history. “Octagonal building” describes its eight-sided structure, while “tent roof” refers to the shape of its roof.

The Catholic parish church of St. Korbinian is a Baroque hall church with a choir closed on three sides and a western tower. Its core is Romanesque and Late Gothic. Together, the two buildings illustrate different aspects of the town’s history: the Bach Chapel is known for its Baroque design and endowment, while St. Korbinian combines a Baroque structure with older historic cores. If you are interested in architecture, these features provide specific clues for distinguishing between the buildings.
