Bavarian beer king "Gambrinus"

This "Gambrinus figure" was designed by the architect and sculptor Professor Ludwig Foltz around 1840 on behalf of the then lord of the castle, Count Armansperg. Foltz first made a plaster model, which is kept in the foyer of the Egger castle.

The statue sitting here was created around 1850 by the local stonemasons paying off their debts at the Schlosswirt with a hammer and chisel on a granite block. It is a work from the era of romantic historicism - and an example of the high level of art created by the local stonemasons at the time.

After around 40 years in exile, our "Gambrinus" was brought back to his home in July 1994 by the current castle owner, Honorary Consul Georg Luitpold HartI, in cooperation with the Bernried community and the Egger associations.
