The Herzogstand is a mountain in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps, 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of the city of Munich.
Maximilian II of Bavaria had a hunting lodge built underneath today's so-called Herzogstand-house in 1857.
The most popular ascent (AV way 446) leads from the valley station of the aerial tramway across the south side to Herzogstand-house and on to the summit of the mountain.
The summit of Herzogstand has been used since 1920 for radiotechnical purposes; a VLF transmission antenna was erected between 1920 and 1934.
It operated until the end of World War II, when a mistranslated telegram seemed to request the relocation of its equipment.
