Anniversary year 2022!

In 2022 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our hotel in Wolkersdorf in the Weinviertel. Below is a short family history with photos and brochures from the past for those interested.

Wine house Klaus

1952

Franz and Magdalena Klaus take over the inn at Hauptstraße 5 at the current location of the Raiffeisenbank in Wolkersdorf. This was the social center of the town; the fair and almost all balls are held here.

1965

The wine house moves across the street to its new location Julius Bittner Platz 4.

1969

Not just the moon landing and the rise of the town of Wolkersdorf, but also the planning of a new hotel wing to complement the existing inn.

Hotel Klaus

1972

The first hotel wing with 30 double rooms is opened in May. In the early years the rooms with bathroom are rejected quite regularly because they were deemed too expensive.

1980

Hotel extension by 25 rooms.

1985

Extension of the hotel with kitchen and dining room. The hotel restaurant goes into full operation and the inn is leased. Franz and Magdalena Klaus retire, Renate & Rudolf Klaus take over the business. The founder Franz Klaus dies in July 1985.

1989

The basement was transformed into a small wellness area with sauna, steam bath and fitness room. The former outdoor terrace becomes a conservatory, the garden is redesigned and a small pool with sunbathing area is created.

The iron curtain rises and the Weinviertel is no longer the end of the western world. On a January weekend in the early 1990s, the hotel reached its peak occupancy of 220 guests in one night. Exclusively Polish families on their way to ski holidays.

1992

Purchase of the property at Kirchenplatz 5 in Wolkersdorf. The former manorial cellar and granary of the Wolkersdorf Castle dates back to the 16th century.

2001

The main wing of the hotel was increased and expanded by 13 rooms and the entire building fitted with functional thermal insulation. In addition to the conference rooms Violand and Wolfger, a contemporary entrance area was built.

2008

Due to the strong demand, an additional floor with a conference area was built. The seminar rooms Abensperg-Traun increased the conference area by 225m².
