We did a good job, also for our successors.

After six years, the innkeeper couple Pamela and Till Weiß are leaving the Augustiner am Wörthsee and taking over the Menterschwaige estate in Harlaching.
A new landlord is now being sought for the Wörthsee economy in spring 2025.

- There is a change in the Augustiner am Wörthsee: The innkeepers Pamela and Till Weiß are expected to leave the Wörthsee in spring 2025 and take over the Menterschwaige estate in Harlaching.
“The decision was very difficult for me, I’m crying too,” admits Till Weiß.
Takeover in 2018 was a success story - now it is coming to an early end
On November 1, 2018, he and his wife Pamela took over the Augustiner after the renovation and new building and turned it into a flourishing business on Lake Wörth - with a kiosk, beer garden, beach and ice cream parlor.
The Weiß couple had previously pampered their palates with fine cuisine at the Wörthsee Golf Club.
With the decision to take over the Augustiner on Wörthsee, a circle was closed.
The now 43-year-old and his wife (42) had married there 15 years earlier.
“We said from the start that we would do something different after ten years,” emphasizes Weiß.
The sons are already following in their parents' footsteps, Max (21) is a chef, Felix (17) is in his second year of training as a restaurant specialist.
The fact that the change is now coming earlier also has to do with the good offer from the Augustiner brewery, which probably also had other applicants, but wanted the Weiß family.
“This is simply the next level,” says Till Weiß.
In addition to around 550 seats in the bar and 1,056 seats in the beer garden, the Menterschwaige estate also has 28 rooms with 56 beds - and “we have always dreamed of such a small hotel,” says Weiß.
For 21 years, Menterschwaige was in the hands of Christian Schottenhaml and the Löwenbräu brewery, also not unknown names in the Munich gastronomy scene.
Due to fire safety regulations, the estate closed a few years ago and is now being extensively renovated - its history is therefore similar to that of the Augustiner on Wörthsee, which the municipality of Wörthsee left to the Augustiner brewery on a long-term lease, a decision that was not entirely controversial in the town.
Landlords with heart – they are looking forward to the new challenge in Munich
Till Weiß is a restaurateur with skin and hair.
It's rare that he and his wife, who is actually a trained businesswoman, aren't bustling around in the Wörthsee business.
Till Weiß trained at the Seehaus Schreyegg in Stegen, he was kitchen director at the Fürstenhof in Leipzig and at the Hotel Bachmair Weissach on Tegernsee.
“We see ourselves as craftsmen,” he always emphasized.
Till Weiß was born in Grafrath and he and his wife have known each other since they were young.
“But I’m also ambitious,” says Till Weiß today.
You are still young enough to take on a new challenge.
He doesn't expect it to be any less stressful.
“Maybe business is less seasonal,” he reflects.
Because at Lake Wörth, the tree burned in the beer garden and lido, especially on nice days, as the saying goes, and there was also fine food à la carte outside: “That might be a little different in Harlaching.” In any case, Till Weiß is firm determined to make the Menterschwaige one of the leading Augustinian businesses in Munich: “It is a beautiful property.”
“It’s a beautiful object”: The Weiß family goes to Munich
Until then, the Weiß family is still accelerating at Lake Wörth: “We don’t have any sales problems here, just implementation problems,” says Till Weiß, commenting on the problems in the catering industry with staff and price developments.
But the Augustiner am Wörthsee is in a very good position: “We have done a good job here, also for our successors.” After the difficult decision-making process, Weiß is now looking forward to the challenge: “Every life has its pillars.
It was time for a change for us.”
