In the narrative café, employees of the Lake Starnberg Museum are now collecting memories, primarily of Starnberg restaurants.
Starnberg
- "Story café - memories of Starnberg from the past": This is the motto of a new series of events in the Starnberg Museum Starnberger See.
When we got started, exactly what the initiator Gisela Baumann had hoped for happened: visitors exchanged ideas in a large group and some knowledge came to light.
Everyone added something, gave anecdotes, some fun, some critical pieces of history for the best.
The first appointment was also dedicated to a grateful topic: the inns in Starnberg.
where was what
Where did who go?
What else is there?
These were the questions about the historic tavern round, which the 25 participants discussed.
Museum director Benjamin Tillig moderated and pricked up his ears: a lot was very exciting.
The tavern culture is still missing in the publications on the history of Starnberg.
Perhaps the afternoon's recordings for the archive will one day provide the basis for another book.
Gisela Baumann, who has worked at the museum for ten years, has “seen many restaurants come and go over the past half century” and has also tried to get former innkeepers to sit at the table.
With regard to the Gasthof in der Au, she succeeded.
Willi Illguth took over the house in 1977: for three months he got fit for the gastronomy, invested 800,000 marks and later accommodated up to 28 employees in the inn.
The former "Staltacher Hof" was given the new name under him according to the field designation.
The post office used to be there, dark chapters played out during the revolution in 1919, and before Illguth there was even a boxing club in the area.
The innkeeper later successfully moved again: “I bought the 'Starnberger Alm' for 835,000 marks.
The conversion caused the same costs.
Hardly anyone knows some restaurants
Many at the table still fondly remembered the good food there, which caused a sensation with many other ideas.
A lot of people remembered the chicken from the “Goldenen Faßl” in particular: The couple who looked after the guests for 30 years still live in the house today – and their living room is where people used to dance at the balls.
People used to dance and celebrate in the “Spinnradl”, in the “Wigwam” and in the “White Horse Club”.
Politics was made in the Munich courtyard: Adolf Hitler gave a lecture in this former railway service area in 1926, and it was in this environment that a dentist developed the swastika as a Nazi emblem.
The counterpoint to this was the “German House”, where the Social Democrats frequented.
On the other hand, the “Sonne” was a warm living room for many, where in the 1960s the famous schnitzel was available for five marks.
While these houses were still very present in many people, others were hardly known: the "Red Castle" on the Ludwigshöhe or the "Teehaus" on the Almeidaberg, for example.
Not least because of this, the next narrative café on March 9th will once again be about the economy in Starnberg.
