The line from Munich extended from Weilheim to Murnau as a Vizinalbahn (local railway) on 15 May 1879 and this was followed by the opening of the extension to Garmisch-Partenkirchen by the private railway company, Lokalbahn AG, on 25 July 1889.

Infrastructure

Platforms
ICE 3 to Dortmund

Tutzing station has three platform tracks. Track 1 is the “home” platform (next to the station building) and tracks 2 and 3 are on a central platform. West of the platforms there are still two sidings without platforms.[3] Both platforms are covered and have digital destination displays. The central platform is connected by a subway to the home platform. The station is being upgraded to make it accessible for the disabled between March 2013 and November 2013.

The old station building is no longer used and is empty. In the new station building next to it there is a travel centre.

The station is in the area of the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (Munich Transport and Tariff Association, MVV).
