Lake Starnberg
About Lake Starnberg
Lake Starnberg or Starnberger See — called Lake Würm or Würmsee ( until 1962 — is Germany's fifth-largest lake by area; however, because of its great depth, it is the second-largest body of fresh water. It and its surroundings lie in three different Bavarian districts, or Landkreise. The lake is property of the state and accordingly managed by the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes.

Other times Lake Starnberg came up
Ludwig got the local fire department to kind of form a little army outside his castle to stop them from coming in, and sure enough, the fire brigade did the job, and they had to go all the way back to Munich, and it was a bit later that they came with a few more heavies, and they managed to take him, and they took him to this lake, didn't they? Lake Stanberg, where he was kept. He was kept, and then he was found floating dead in Lake Stanberg in 1886. I read one account, which said his doctor also was found dead floating in the lake, and that, to me, is sus, because water was shallow, he was a pretty decent swimmer.
