Vacationers, day trippers, everyone is currently crowding around the popular Tegernsee.
On Friday it will be a bit fuller: The CSU and Prime Minister Söder are approaching.
Gmund - The Kreuther spirit lurks on the other bank, it is not far away.
On Friday the CSU goes to the north end of the Tegernsee in cloister, 20 minutes away from its legendary meeting place in the Wildbad: at Gut Kaltenbrunn in Gmund.
With the conference, it should also be full at Tegernsee.
These days the Tegernsee Valley is already bursting at the seams, holidaymakers and day-trippers are jostling on the streets, the ships, in restaurants and hiking trails.
So now Prime Minister Markus Söder and his entourage.
CSU and Söder meet at Tegernsee: Gut Kaltenbrunn as a conference venue
The CSU has been using Gut Kaltenbrunn as a conference venue since 2016; it is the successor to Wildbad Kreuth, which was sold.
In 2015 Munich's fine food king Michael Käfer brought the huge Gut Kaltenbrunn and its gastronomy back to life.
After a few initial difficulties and resentment among the locals, it is now part of the excursion repertoire at Tegernsee.
And the CSU also seems to appreciate Kaltenbrunn: At the CSU exam there, Markus Söder will again be about the question: How much independence, Bavarian plain language or even bullying does the CSU want to offer?
The four-hour retreat of the party leadership at Gut Kaltenbrunn is intended to lash down a CSU election program for autumn.
The constellation is spicy: Actually, the Union already has its program, the common one around the candidate Armin Laschet (CDU).
But that's not enough for the Söder side in the Union.
That is why there is now a package of extra requirements.
Louder, stronger, clearer: the CSU wants to set points where its lashing is too quiet or where it brushed off the demands from Munich.
CSU retreat at Tegernsee: tight program
It's more than style - it's more about strategy. In the CSU one would rather have a more angular election campaign, polarizing, mobilizing. The concern is that candidate Laschet is not yet drawing enough from his own voters; that voters stay at home or distribute themselves in the bourgeois camp between the FDP and free voters. Time is of the essence, because with the expected postal voting record, in principle every day from the end of August is already election day - not September 26th.
The CSU is therefore adding a more angular program - around 20 pages: “Good for Bavaria.
Good for Germany ”.
The demand for an expansion of maternal pensions, which the CDU has blocked, will be part of it.
In addition, a higher commuter allowance, adjusted to the rising gasoline price.
Rule of thumb: one cent more relief for every 10 cents.
There is talk of climate premiums for private households and lower taxes on regional food.
CSU wants extra demands on the Union election program at Tegernsee
According to information from our newspaper, the CSU is also demanding that the craftsman bonus in the tax return be doubled to 2400 euros.
The exchange of heating and the construction of solar systems, which are controversial in Bavaria's coalition, should at least be better promoted through the tax for businesses.
Long-running: the call for a degressive (initially much faster) depreciation in rental housing.
The rail offensive, which Söder announced on Thursday as a climate protection project, will also be part of the program.
Wherever possible, tracks are to be reactivated with federal aid, especially to companies that bring goods onto the rails.
Where selected old routes have irreparably rusted away, cycle superhighways or autonomous bus routes are to be created on the route.
Examination at Tegernsee: Presidium meets corona-compliant outdoors
After the tax dispute between the CDU and CSU, the little sister made it clear: relief must be established.
"Our positions are clear: The CSU stands for tax relief, pension fairness and for the union of economy and ecology", says Secretary General Markus Blume.
They want to "send clear signals from Tegernsee".
Inside the CSU, the round will probably run smoothly.
The closest top, the Presidium, meets in attendance, corona-compliant in the open air and with a view of the lake, the board of directors is connected.
So far, no dissent is foreseeable.
