20 babies in 2023: City of Tegernsee welcomes newborns. Between coffee, donuts and cake, pacifiers, cuddly toys and siblings cavorted in the meeting room that afternoon.

As a “debut gift,” every new citizen received a cuddy toy and a matching book in addition to the Tegern see thaler made of real silver. “We definitely have a few playing cards in the house for the older siblings present,’ Mayor Johannes Hagn added with a smile.
