Herrsching am Ammersee is a municipality in Upper Bavaria, Germany, on the east shore of the Ammersee, southwest of Munich. The population is around 8,000 in winter, increasing to 13,000 in summer.
Situated at one terminus of the Munich S-Bahn line S8, the village is popular with travellers for its water-sports and as the starting point of trips to the Benedictine Andechs Abbey. Herrsching is also a stop for touring steamships of the Bavarian Seenschiffahrt or lake fleet.
Prior to the Second World War, Herrsching was home to the Hersching Business School (Reichsfinanzschule Hersching). From 1945 to 1946, the school was converted into a POW hospital and rehab facility for soldiers who had lost limbs.
