The lights went out in the inn over 20 years ago.
Before that, “Zum Toni” was a popular place to go.
The Geretsrieder had a different name for the restaurant.
Geretsried - He came from Graslitz in the Egerland and opened a restaurant on Böhmerwaldstraße in Geretsried in 1952: master butcher Anton Gössl.
And because a butcher's shop was attached to the economy, the inn soon got a rather gruesome nickname in the vernacular.
The restaurant was actually called "Zur neue Heimat".
Actually...
Gössl came to Geretsried in 1947.
He appropriately named his restaurant “Zur neue Heimat”, and it actually became a popular meeting place for many displaced people and numerous associations.
The local councils even met there a few times.
Shortly after the opening, the inn was renamed "Zum Toni".
And because of the attached butcher's shop, the Geretsrieder soon also called the restaurant “Zur bloutigen Hack”.
The restaurant was a popular place to go until well into the 1970s
Until the 1970s, the restaurant was a place to go for the people of Egerland, and - after the Gartenberger inns Böhm and Korb had closed - it was always well attended.
After the bunker was increased in 1970, the Geretsried fan club of the TSV 1860 Munich soccer club in particular used the economy for its get-togethers.
The Geretsrieder ice hockey team often stopped there for a sauerbraten.

In 1978 Gössl gave up the butcher's shop and later also the inn - after he had already leased the restaurant once.
Then the tenants changed until Leo Gyepes took over the restaurant.
In 1999 the lights went out in the inn for good.
Gössl's niece, his heiress, sold the property.
In August 2000 the former restaurant was demolished.
Today there are eight row houses in their place.
In our “Historic Tavern” series, we present former restaurants in Geretsried in random order.
