In 1914 and 1927, Wilhelmina Busch, the co-heiress of the Anheuser-Busch brewery, who was born in St. Louis in 1884, and her first husband, Eduard Scharrer from Stuttgart, acquired the current site of Schloss Höhenried in Bernried. Mr. and Mrs. Busch-Scharrer first bought the Postvilla in Bernried and enjoyed great social prestige. After August Scharrer died suddenly in 1932, Wilhelmina Busch married her doctor, Carl Borchard, in 1933, from whom she divorced a few years later.
Her big dream of building a castle on the site came true in 1937. The topping-out ceremony was held in February 1938 and the castle with 60 rooms was completed in the summer of 1939. With the entry of the United States into the war, Wilhelmina Busch moved her residence to Switzerland, but retained her German citizenship.
