The Landgasthof Haller in Buchendorf and the two associated apartment buildings will be transferred to the Munich “Daheim im Quarter” foundation. This is intended to ensure the preservation of the traditional economy and rents.

– Because the now 76-year-old Rudolf Haller and his wife Silvia have no descendants, the Gautinger is transferring his real estate in Buchendorf to the non-profit Munich foundation “Daheim im Quarter” on May 1st. The preservation of the Haller country inn on Neurieder Strasse and the two apartment buildings with eleven apartments is very important to him, says Haller in an interview with Starnberger Merkur. After all, he grew up there as a boy, according to the son of the former mayor Anton Haller, who died in 2005.
The inn in Buchendorf has been family-owned since 1850. In the event of an inheritance, the building ensemble with a total of 3,000 square meters would result in such a high tax burden that the company would be deprived of its “capital base,” says Haller. For reasons of age, he and his wife decided to transfer the property and the adjoining apartment building to the “Daheim in the Quarter” foundation. “This solution ensures affordable living space and the operation of the restaurant in Buchendorf,” emphasizes Rudolf Haller.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the former farm with the tavern gave way to the two residential buildings. After his death, however, “no excavator should come in and clear everything away for a new residential complex,” says Rudolf Haller and adds: “For us, the succession plan is about preservation and continued socially acceptable management. We have constantly and extensively carried out contemporary and conservation-oriented investments and made the rents in the apartments affordable,” sums up the 76-year-old. He wants to give security to tenants, some of whom have lived in the two houses for 50 years. And the inn, which he has just leased to landlady Ines Kosak (we reported), will remain in place in the future – “as an important part of village life”. The “Daheim in the Quarter” foundation, which emerged from Munich housing cooperatives, is “a guarantee for the continuation of the management and preservation of the property in our spirit,” emphasizes Haller.
Foundation board member Christian Stupka comments on the takeover of the property as follows: “We are very pleased that by transferring the property we have a double effect in the spirit of the foundation: we can promise the tenants long-term housing security and contribute to the lively village life by maintaining the restaurant .” His colleague on the board, Thomas Schimmel, adds: “We are taking over an immaculately maintained property and, thanks to a long-term lease agreement, we have great rental security with the inn, which was founded in 1850.”
It was only when it was incorporated in 1978 that Buchendorf, which now has around 800 residents, lost its independence. Rudolf Haller's father was the mayor at the time. Before the incorporation, the farmer and forester Anton Haller negotiated so cleverly that he secured two thirds of the community forest for the local forest lawyers. The last mayor of Buchendorf, who died at the age of 91, received the badge of honor from the Starnberg Forest Owners Association. The Bavarian award for services to local self-government was followed by the Gautinger Citizens' Medal in 1983.
