Overview
- An undetected failure at a shower line in an unoccupied attic room on August 7 sent large volumes of water into walls and ceilings.
- Business partner Johannes Rabl said “many cubic meters” soaked the fabric of the listed building and estimated the damage at several hundred thousand euros.
- Indoor dining areas and guest rooms are closed during drying and restoration, while the beer garden and other outdoor service continue.
- Work involves opening wall sections in the monument-protected structure, with drying units running for weeks and completion targeted for late September.
- The setback follows a roughly €6 million, two-year restoration that led to a 2024 reopening and a local heritage award, with peak-season bookings disrupted.
