The word "Schwaigen" or "Sweiga" refers to the cattle specialised homesteads of the 12th century. In those days the landlord gave his cattle to the farmer (Schwaiger). In exchange the farmer had to increase the lifestock as well as produce cheese and butter for the landlord. The story of the Fürstenrieder Schwaige dates back to the beginning of the 10th century, when three homesteads were located in the forests around the village of Planeck. 1707 a small hunting castle was built next to the Schwaige, which then had the name Poschetsrieder Schwaige. 1715 the elector Max Emanuel obtained the homestead, changed its name to Fürstenried and built a castle on the grounds. The first innkeeper of the Schwaige was a farmer, who received the license to sell beer. In 1854, the new owner baron Beck-Peccis caused the closing of the inn, which reopened in 1887. Following several owner changes, the Schwaige had to be demolished due to bad building conditions. In 1985 the brewery Spaten-Franziskaner built the new Einkehr zur Schwaige, which silhouette resembles the former building of 1730.

Einkehr zur Schwaige beer garden has about 600 seats in the shade of young chestnut trees and sun umbrellas. Some of the traditional beer benches have backrests. A highlight of the self-serviced area is a several metres long table, which is cut of one gigantic tree. About 50 people find place on this unusual table, suitable for larger groups. The food stall offers Bavarian beer garden meals, such as Hendl (roasted chicken), spareribs, Krustenbraten (pork roast with crackling), Wurstsalat (sliced sausage salad) and [[Obatzda]]. At a separate stall guests can buy fresh [[Steckerlfisch]] (grilled fish on a stick). The beer served is [[Spaten]] and one [[Maß]] Hell (lager) costs €6.90 (June 2012). The served area is located behind the restaurant building.
