The area of ​​hotel investor Strüngmann is not only growing on the lake shore of Bad Wiessee.

The entrepreneur has also secured a building in the town center - and already has plans for it.

Bad Wiessee

– The luxury hotel on the lake shore of Bad Wiessee planned by the Strüngmann family is slowly approaching the implementation phase.

In order to be able to run it successfully, the operator will be dependent on a large number of staff.

As early as 2019, Strüngmann's office Athos therefore acquired the Hotel am Kureck in order to create staff apartments there.

The investor has now secured another property: As Athos spokesman Stephan Heller confirms, the former Bayerischer Hof – also known as the Wienerwald – on Münchner Strasse was acquired “independently of the development of the hotel area”.

According to Heller, only employee apartments are planned there.

"Further use is not planned for the time being."

Bad Wiessee's very first casino used to be in the building

It has been a few years since the building on the main street was filled with life.

Once upon a time – in the 1950s and 1960s – Bad Wiessee’s very first casino was located there.

At that time, the building still operated under the name Café Bauer.

Later, after the casino had moved to the Wiesseer Seeufer, the outgoing postman Kurt Geiß successfully ran the Vienna Woods and the Heurigen, including a dance hall, for many years before a Greek and an Indian restaurant, among others, tried their luck in the building.

Most recently, the house in the town center stood empty for a few years.

Mayor hopes for new development of the entire town center

Mayor Robert Kühn (SPD) considers it positive that there has now been a change of ownership and that the building is to be given a new future.

"Now there is hope that there will be development for the entire area - that's only good for our place," says Kühn.

The head of the town hall does not only mean the former Bayerischer Hof, but also the property directly opposite of the former Hotel Ritter (Grühn-Areal).

As is well known, the Irschenberg entrepreneur Marcel Dittrich is planning the realization of a new town center there, including restaurants, apartments, commercial premises, shopping malls and a large underground car park.

Kühn is happy about the chance that the entire area will be redeveloped here - like dominoes, one project triggered the next.

Mayor Kühn: Trade must also move into the Strüngmann building

However, the exact use of the former Bayerischer Hof remains to be discussed.

According to Kühn, the building is in a special area and its use is stipulated.

"Commercial units on the ground floor must be retained," says the mayor.

The creation of apartments is possible.

Kühn assumes that the conversion of the building by Strüngmann will soon be an issue in a meeting of the municipal council or the building committee.
