The station of Possenhofen, a village on the Lake Starnberg, 30kms southwest of Munich. The bavarian royality owned a chateau in Possenhofen and to have a conveniant access, bavarian King Maximilian II had this station built in 1865. Elisabeth of Bavaria (aka "Sisi") spouse of Francis Joseph I, Empress of Austria, Queen of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia, spent her youth here. Later she often returned for holidays, using custombuilt "imperial waggons", that parked here. Now it is "only" a station of the S-Bahn, the Munich suburban railway, but inside is a little "Sisi-Museum", officially named "Kaiserin Elisabeth Museum".
