Johannes Rabl would like to take over the Forsthaus Valepp together with goalkeeper star Manuel Neuer.

Rumors cast doubt on his competence as an entrepreneur.

The 42-year-old takes a very open position.

Tegernsee

– The awarding of the Forsthaus Valepp with heritable building rights to the investor team Neuer/Rabl is not yet done.

Many decisions are still pending, at municipal level in Schliersee, at the Bavarian state forests and in the Bavarian state parliament, which still has to deal with a petition from the association for the protection of the mountains, co-signed by the Bund Naturschutz Bayern and the Bavarian state association for home care.

The protests are now mixed in with doubts about Rabl's competence.

He is not the right one, it says, and there are also "inconsistencies" in connection with Rabl's earlier projects.

Confronted with the statements, Johannes Rabl does not talk around for long.

On request, he explains his company structure and philosophy in detail and openly, which is now concentrated on the Tegernsee valley.

Manuel Neuer's plans at Forsthaus Valepp: Johannes Rabl as future partner

The Latona Fountain in the Herrenchiemsee Palace Park, named after a Greek goddess, gave its name to Rabl's "Latona Hotels & Restaurants GmbH", which he founded in 2015.

After returning from ten years working abroad, which led the native of Lower Bavaria to hotels and resorts worldwide, he had a new goal in mind: the acquisition, upgrading and redevelopment of listed businesses in special locations that once enjoyed an excellent reputation but were unprofitable and operate below their means.

"Hospitality is more important than profit, experiences more important than status symbols," is his credo, which led him to Seeon in Chiemgau to a more than 300-year-old property - the Rauchhaus.

Rabl founded Rauchhaus Property GmbH with a business partner, renovated and opened the inn in 2016.

Rabl and his partner also wanted to create something “unique” at the Sudelfeld during this time.

Again with the Latona they acquired the local "Tiroler Stüberl".

They founded the "Mountain Club Bayrischzell" and planned to create a base camp for mountain enthusiasts.

The municipality of Bayrischzell gave their okay for the conversion.

"However, we noticed that there was a lack of building substance and that a costly renovation would be necessary," Rabl said in retrospect, explaining the decision as to why he focused more on Lake Tegernsee: on the Leeberghof.

Discussions about the Forsthaus Valepp: Leeberghof is doing well under Rabl

In the summer of 2017, Rabl was able to take over the Leeberghof from Helmut Huber with his Latona.

This was his focus, and so he left the property in Seeon to his partner at the time in autumn 2017.

Apparently he sold them on.

The Rauchhaus has been closed for some time.

"It is in private hands, is used for residential purposes and temporarily as event catering," says a spokeswoman for the municipality of Seeon-Seebruck.

The paths also parted at Sudelfeld.

Opinions have diverged as far as the organization of the companies is concerned, says Rabl quite openly.

As a result, Rabl's ex-partner also took over the property at Sudelfeld.

You still have business contact, says Rabl, without naming his ex-partner.

According to the research of our newspaper, it is the luxury broker Oliver Herbst, who also has plans for the conversion of the Sonnenalm in Sudelfeld with his Immovision Property GmbH.

Success at Leeberg: Manuel Neuer's business partner Johannes Rabl - "The numbers prove us right"

For six years now, Rabl has been making sure that the store on Leeberg runs - as a long-term tenant, "until 2037, according to Rabl.

Without the public getting wind of it, a change of ownership took place there in 2020.

After Huber ran out of steam financially in the summer of 2020 and insolvency proceedings were even opened against the Hotel Leeberghof GmbH before the district court in Wolfratshausen, the traditional property, built in 1860, was passed to Klaus Gehrig.

The manager and former head of the Schwarz Group (Lidl) had probably had a foot in the door for a long time.

It is an open secret that he has a residence at Leeberg.

Rabl realigned the Leeberghof and also opened it up to hikers and mountain bikers, who should also feel comfortable in sportswear in the beer garden.

For upscale gastronomy in a cultivated atmosphere, the Leeberghof remains a top address.

In addition, he invented the "Wuidara" brand - game and delicatessen, which he sells in delicatessens down by the lake.

"The numbers prove us right," says Rabl about his orientation.

He brings the hotel with 15 rooms into shape.

Water damage that has caused problems for years has just been repaired.

This weekend the Leeberghof will be unlocked again after four months of closure.

Discussions about the forester's house Valepp: community doubts the competence of Johann Rabl

With Latona as the parent company, Rabl has also been operating the Lieberhof on Neureuthstraße, business location number two, since 2018.

The lease he signed with owner Hans Hailer runs until 2039.

The fact that Hailer, himself the landlord of the Hochfeldalm near St. Johann in Tirol, keeps trying to sell the listed inn and even has building permission for a guest house on the slope below, doesn't get Rabl off track.

On the contrary: He planted a garden with fruit, vegetables, beekeeping and farm animals and was looking for court sponsors - there are now around 25.

It is the synergies of two production sites in one GmbH that give him the opportunity to further develop and grow the business with around 40 employees.

Growing at Tegernsee?

Rabl: "If we pull together here, there will be enough for everyone."
