In the 1950s, Franz Winkel (2nd generation) and his wife Anneliese took over the business.
Ruder. With great passion, they expanded the business into an inn. It was the birth of a true family business.
In the 1970s, Lothar Winkel (3rd generation) and his wife Hannelore moved the story forward – with fresh ideas and a clear vision for the future. They developed the inn further and transformed it into a stylish hotel with an upscale restaurant through extensive modernizations in the 1980s.

In den 1950er-Jahren übernahmen Franz Winkel (2. Generation) und seine Frau Anneliese das Ruder. Mit viel Leidenschaft bauten sie den Betrieb zu einem Gasthof aus. Es war die Geburtsstunde eines echten Familienunternehmens. In den 1970ern führten Lothar Winkel (3. Generation) und seine Frau Hannelore die Geschichte fort – mit frischen Ideen und einem klaren Blick in die Zukunft. Sie entwickelten das Gasthaus weiter und verwandelten es in den 80er-Jahren durch umfassende Modernisierungen in ein stilvolles Hotel mit gehobenem Restaurant. Seit Ende der 90er kamen ihre Söhne (4. Generation) hinzu die bis heute den Betrieb begleiten.
