Empress Elisabeth Museum
Discover the secrets of the legendary Empress Elisabeth of Austria – better known as Sisi – at the Empress Elisabeth Museum. On a guided tour, you will learn how Sisi spent her youth in Munich and Possenhofen, became Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, and how her story came to a tragic end on Lake Geneva.
The magnificent waiting room of the historic Possenhofen railway station, dating from 1865 and once a meeting place for the European aristocracy, forms the heart of the exhibition. Here, and in the four accessible exhibition rooms, you will find memorabilia, portraits and sculptures that bring the life of the Empress and her family to life – further enhanced by the themed guided tours.

Learning for the future.
BADEHAUS Memorial Site
The Wolfratshausen district of Waldram – formerly known as Föhrenwald – is a poignant testament to the region’s recent history. Originally intended as a Nazi model settlement for armaments workers, it later became a stopover on the death march from Dachau. After the war, it served as a camp for Jewish displaced persons who had survived the Holocaust. In the late 1950s, families with many children who had been displaced from their homes finally found a home here.
Through vivid, multimedia presentations and guided tours, the museum brings this moving history to life. It is a place of remembrance, encounter and learning for the future. Tip: The BADEHAUS app offers an audio guide for the permanent exhibition and the historical tour of the site.
