About
The museum was founded on the initiative of culture-loving citizens of Starnberg, in the spirit of the regional-identity movement of the early 20th century. In 1912 the founders acquired the Lochmann House — today a listed building — as a museum, at the expense of the town; the museum opened in 1913. It shows life on and around the lake and the court boats of the Wittelsbach family, among them the state rowing barge “Delphin”.
