The gap that has arisen will be difficult to close,” says Witzigmann.

Later he even worked for the French chef legend Paul Bocuse for a year.

In 1978 Winkler moved to Munich.

Here he was to succeed kitchen chef Eckart Witzigmann at the famous Tantris.

He did this at the highest level.

In 1991 he moved out of the big city to Aschau im Chiemgau (Rosenheim district).

There he became the owner and head chef at the Hotel Residenz Heinz Winkler.

There he again succeeded in cooking up three stars.

In 2012 his son Alexander took over as restaurant manager.

But the patron of Lake Chiemsee remained the flagship of the hotel and attracted celebrities and politicians alike.
