The history of Gasthof zur Post dates back to 1456, when it was a manor house and residence of the noble Bavarian family Hundtsberger, who opened a restaurant at this location in 1567. Following several ownership changes, a postal station with stables opened in 1889 with the innkeeper as the manager. In 1902 a telegraph system with a Morse transmitter was installed. The opening of the train track between
Herrsching and Munich in 1903 meant the end of the post station. The last postal carriage left in the same year. After further ownership changes, the horse stables were removed, and between 1997 and 2000 the now historically listed building was renovated. Today, Gasthof zur Post offers a small and charming hotel with 17 rooms, restaurant and beer garden. Since May 2012 the Bavarian and Austrian leaseholders Elisabeth Hellmann and Otmar Walch warmly welcome their guests in the restaurant and beer garden.

The beer garden has 450 seats in the self-serviced area with a row of ten traditional fixed-to-the-ground tables along the small stream Kienbach. Old chestnut trees provide necessary shade for the entire beer garden. The serviced terrace in front of the hotel building is separated from the beer garden by a small road. Major football tournaments are shown live on a large screen.
The food stall of the self-serviced area offers cold and warm meals, such as [[Wurstsalat]] (sliced sausage salad), [[Obatzda]] (traditional cheese creation), [[spareribs]], burger, [[Bratwurst]] and shashlik. The beer served is [[Augustiner]] and a [[Maß]] Hell (lager) straight out of a wooden barrel costs €6.80 60 (April 2014Mai 6.60). A bar in the shape of a boat in the beer garden sells in addition to beer various long drinks.
