The café "Servus Gelting" will soon open in the former Neuwirt.

The operating family believes: "Our village needs something like this."

Gelting

– A village needs a meeting point, a contact point where neighbors can talk and where you can leave everyday life behind for a while.

This is exactly what a young team in Gelting wants to achieve.

"Servus Gelting" is to be the name of the new café that is opening in the former Neuwirt.

The associated hotel is already up and running – and the café is also slowly taking shape.

"We deliberately didn't set a fixed date for opening," says Johannes Bahnmüller.

Café guests should come when everything is right.

The operators want to take their time for this - "we're doing it right," says Sandra Heiduk.

That's also the answer to the many Geltingers who keep asking how long they have to keep their anticipation of the new restaurant.

Maybe it will work out this year, maybe next.

Because the team still has a lot to do.

We are in Bavaria, you can see that.

The interior should be modern and comfortable.

Maybe with couch elements and armchairs instead of wooden benches and tables with a sparkling clean look.

The old, varnished tables are sanded down, the wooden feet are painted to look like metal stands.

The innkeepers' helpers have already knocked out a partition wall in the café to make the room more open.

The hotel lobby - which already looks quite cozy with its armchairs and large sofa under an aerial view of the village - has been given a more rustic touch with a new wooden counter.

"We're in Bavaria, you can see that," explains Theresa Ailer.

"But we are also a modern café - and we want to show that."

This concept already works in the hotel.

It's been in operation for over two months, "we're booked out almost all the time," says Marion Bahnmüller.

The audience is as diverse as the leisure opportunities in the region: "We have craftsmen here and pilgrims, business travelers and holidaymakers stay overnight," adds Johannes Bahnmüller.

And when they sit in the café's future beer garden in the evening, a few Geltingers squat down and chat.

Even now, before the opening, a sociable togetherness has developed in the Servus.

This shows the hosts that their idea is spot on.

That motivates.

"I think our village needs something like that, a place where people can sit together and chat or have a bite to eat - with a spritz or coffee."

Coffee, cake and delicacies

For a long time there has not been such a contact point in Gelting, which opens its doors every day and serves coffee, cake and delicacies in the sun.

The conditions in the village are actually ideal, says Marion Bahnmüller.

"Not only do a lot of people live here, but so many people come by on their bikes or walk along the canal and look for a cozy place to take a break." The operators know this very well - the family has lived in Gelting for decades and knows every corner of the village and probably every family that lives there.

"Many residents want a meeting place like the one that is being created here," says Marion Bahnmüller.

The whole family works together

Almost the whole family works in the new café, including close friends who simply belong to the family picture.

"They all participate because they want to," clarifies the eldest son Johannes, "nobody has to work here just so that we can be a family business."

In the meantime, the team continues to grow, although the café doesn't actually exist yet.

"Two young girls from Gelting came and asked if they could work here," says Ailer.

With Sabine Hömmerich, a Geltinger veteran – who has been employed at the hotel for a long time – has also remained in the team.

"The good soul" Ailer calls her.

The operators are happy about this, because such personal details show that the "Servus" team could achieve an important goal: a meeting point for Gelting, from Gelting and a mixture of modernity and tradition - a bit like Gelting itself.
