From 1902 to 1964 family Stöger owned this hotel

1964 Günther and Anneliese Bichlmeyer with their 3 daughters bought the hotel, they renamed this hotel to Gasthof Waltraud.

The name of WALTRAUD is the name of their youngest daughter whom is well-knows as Traudi now.

Waltraud Bäck led the house after the takeover of her father in 2002 until 2016
