Between 500 and 700 AD clearings were made in the area of today's municipality. In 1076 a hermitage with Margarethe chapel was founded by Haziga, the wife of Palatine Count Otto II. Of Scheyern-Wittelsbach. In 1079 this was converted into a monastery, but by 1085 was moved to Fischbachau. With its proximity to Tyrol, Bayrischzell was the scene of armed conflicts in both the Spanish and Austrian wars of succession and in the Napoleonic Wars and local mountain guard skirmishes with the Tyroleans.
In 1811/12 the cell (or cell Margarethe) was made an independent parish. Since 1832, the town has been officially called Bayrischzell.
On 5/6. December 1846 a "Haberfeldtreiben" took place, with over 100 drivers instead. By 1900 tourism began to take off.
The coat of arms in its current form has existed since 1959, with silver diamonds is reminiscent of the close historical relationship with the Wittelsbachs.
From 1900 a railway was constructed along the Leitzachtal, from Munich to Bayrischzell via Westerham. On 1 October 1911, the terminus of the railway Schliersee-Bayrischzell became operational.[4] In 1970 the Wendelstein Cable Car was completed.
The German University Sports Association (Arbeitsgemeinschaft deutscher Sportreferenten) was established in 1948 in Bayrischzell even before the constitution of the Federal Republic on 2 April 1948 in Bayrischzell.[5]
On the night of 26 June 2006 on the 1,500-metre-high (4,900 ft) Kümpflalm near Rotwand, the brown bear Bruno was killed by two hunters and a policeman by a lung shot at 150 metres (490 ft). He had come from Italy via Tyrol in May 2006. The stuffed bear has been displayed since April 2008 in Museum of Man and Nature.

In autumn 2007, director Rainer Kaufmann filmed the television movie The best comes first for ZDF. In the 1980s Heirs to be learned was filmed in Bayrischzell.
The adjoining Sudelfeld with 19 ski lifts and around 31 kilometres (19 mi) of prepared ski runs is one of the most famous ski resorts in the Bavarian Alps and the largest in the German contiguous ski area. It can be reached from the village on a chairlift. Wendelstein can be reached by a cable car from Osterhofen since 1970. The Wendelstein ski resort with its 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) of slopes is a secret tip for experienced skiers.
On the edge of the village is the heated open air swimming pool, "Alpenfreibad Bayrischzell".
There are also tennis courts, a mini golf course and in winter an ice rink and a curling rink.
In Geitau, on the western edge of the municipality, lies the Geitau gliding airfield, operated by LSC Schliersee.[6]
