history

In 1890 Matthias Holzmair founded a horse haulage business in Munich and organized the first city tours and excursions. In 1907 Rudolf Schoenecker senior also used the first motorized bus for sightseeing tours, which, after a brief but fierce competition, led to the founding of the United Munich Tourist Tours in 1909 . From this, the Munich City Tours oHG , which still exists today , and the Motorwagen-Gesellschaft Oberbayern developed .

The Motorwagen-Gesellschaft Oberbayern, today's AutobusOberbayern GmbH, was founded in 1927 by Max Holzmair and Rudolf Schoenecker. In 1930 the travel agency and the tour operator Nord-Süd Reisen were added, which organized bus, train and boat trips.
