The story
Guests seeking authentic Bavarian cuisine gather regularly at Gasthaus Baumann in Otterfing, where the kitchen follows a strict weekly calendar. Saturdays serve steamed dumplings and Sundays feature the traditional roast, while Thursday nights highlight giant prawns with a subtle Mediterranean finish. This predictable rotation lets the Schlemmer Atlas reward the inn with one and a half spoons for 2026.
Ludwig Klier manages daily operations today, continuing a lineage that began when the Moser family built the original tavern beside the new railway tracks. Barbara Baumann took the lease in 1937 and navigated wartime shortages alone until her daughter Josefa partnered with Ludwig Klier in 1960. Their descendants still run the establishment, preserving a straightforward service model that honors Bavarian traditions while valuing local patrons and transit travelers equally.
Recent renovations kept the original timber textures and earthy wall tones intact while equipping sixteen newly finished rooms with climate control and secure storage. Travelers frequently book these spaces after work or sightseeing because the Otterfing station sits merely fifty meters from the entrance. Thirty minutes on the S-Bahn reaches Munich Marienplatz, placing the property conveniently between the capital and the Tegernsee lakes.
