During the days of Bavarian monarchy, the castle Ringberg was owned by the dukes of Bavaria. It was donated to the Max Planck Society in 1973.
The springs were first mentioned in 1490. The first bath house was built in 1511 by Abbot Henry V. of Tegernsee. The buildings were used for political gatherings of the Christian Social Union of Bavaria for some decades. Today, it houses a simple hotel.
