Guesthouse in the historic farm of the 16th century
Our guesthouse which was built in 1991 is located directly next to the hotel in the centre of the listed "Schnitzbiegel-Areal". A unique atmosphere is given to our farm by traditional cobblestone pavement and a lovely framework.
In summertime our historic beer garden which is called "s'Höfle" is open and traditional dishes and refined gourmet courses are served there, as well.
The philosophy of our house...
Family business in the third generation
Manfred and Ingrid Oettinger
Butcher Manfred Oettinger took on the family business of his parents at the age of 18 and created from it, together with his wife, the "Hotel Restaurant Hirsch" of today. In 1974 the new hotel building with indoor swimming pool and sauna came into being. In 1984 they extended the building by the construction of a huge festival room next to the restaurant to make possible celebrations and events on a larger scale. But this is not all...
In 1990 they acquired the listed farm, called "Schnitzbiegel" and renovated it laboriously and with a lot of love. The result was the guesthouse with further comfortable rooms and the wine taverns in the "Schnitzbiegel-Areal".
