The Inn was a farm house from 1678 to 1928. Our grandparents (Dorothea and Josef Meusburger) started boarding holiday guests in the year 1928. The world economic crisis in the thirties caused the Meusburgers to return to farming until the end of the second World War. In 1945, our parents Konrad and Emma Meusburger took over the farm house and modernized it for accommodating guests.
The house was wired for electricity in 1946 and we had the first radio in the village. On Sunday, the local minister in his sermon called the radio a “machine of the devil” from which Satan speaks. Until 1950, the well in front of the Inn was the only water supply. Moving the water supply inside was an important improvement. |
