Lake Starnberg

Also known as Starnberger See

Lake Starnberg is a lake south-west of Munich, about 20 kilometres long, long favoured by the Bavarian court and the city's wealthy for summer residences. On 13 June 1886, days after he had been declared unfit to rule, Ludwig II of Bavaria was found dead in its shallow waters near Berg Castle together with his psychiatrist, Bernhard von Gudden.
