This year the hotel is celebrating
its 50th anniversary
In the 50s dairy owner Ludwig Lutz
from the Swabian town Zusmarshausen liked to visit
Munich. By accident he acquired a plot of land in his beloved
town. To fulfil his dream of an eventide in Munich
he gave the plot as a present to his daughter Maria
Chibidziura provided that he obtained an apartment
in the family house. In 1953 construction
works started under the directions of Maria's
husband Werner, a civil engineer.

The hotel in 1954 |
In
Nymphenburg a house containing six flats
arose. Four of them could be rented and
thus ensure the financing. When the house
was finished in 1953 a Munich company selling
hotel equipment recommended to remodel
the house into a hotel/guest-house because
this would guarantee still better chances
to ensure the financing. The missing funishings
and the equipment were provided by the
company and the payment was agreed with
a handshake. |
|
|
| |
|
| |
The risk was taken.
|
| |
At that
time the district of Nymphenburg was a popular
destination for the people living in Munich.
The park, the castle and the botanic garden
invited them for a stroll outside the city.
But there had not been much holiday traffic
yet, who wanted to spend 6 to 8 DM for an
overnight stay? These were some hard years
for the guest-house.

| When the young generation
took a lease on the hotel in 1972 Ludwig
Lutz and his wife could go into retirement.
During the Olympic year Munich experienced
a hotel boom, which showed its effects
afterwards. It depended on the hotel's
comforts and its personal touch if a guest
returned or recommended the hotel.

The slogan "... a home away from home"
was realized by Traudl and Werner. Guests
were not only welcome - they felt like
being at home. |

Some of our regular guests
joined the "Kriemhild Club",
founded by Werner.
He organized trips to far away countries and
events like river rafting and rides with coaches. |
