Herrsching am Ammersee is a municipality in Upper Bavaria, Germany, on the east shore of the Ammersee, southwest of Munich.

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.

From 1945 to 1946, the school was converted into a POW hospital and rehab facility for soldiers who had lost limbs.
