About Tutzing

Tutzing (German pronunciation: [ˈtʊtsɪŋ]) is a municipality in the district of Starnberg in Bavaria, Germany, on the west bank of the Starnberger See.

A small lakeside park is dedicated to him, and a plaque stands near the large house where he lived and worked. The town of 10,000 is home to many commuters to Munich, as well as to retirees. Tutzing station is both a terminus of Munich's S-Bahn rail network and a regional train hub serving Innsbruck, Mittenwald, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Reutte, Kochel and Oberammergau.

During the Nazi period, Trutskirch-Tutzing (Dornier), a forced-labour factory for the Dornier-Werke GmbH aircraft concern, was a sub-camp of Dachau Concentration Camp. The town was also a stop on the "trail of tears" of inmates forcibly marched south in 1945; a plaque at the town hall commemorates them.
