Tutzing is a municipality in the
district of Starnberg in
Bavaria , on the west bank of the
Starnberger See . Just 40 km south-west of
Munich and with good views of the Alps, the town was traditionally a favorite vacation spot for those living in the city.
In 1873 Johannes Brahms spent four summer months in Tutzing, completing his String Quartets Opus 51 and writing the Haydn Variations . A small lakeside park is dedicated to him, and a plaque stands near the large house where he lived and worked.
