History
Our traditional business has been owned by the Hofmeier family since 1927.
Our traditional Hotel and Country Inn has been in the Hofmeier family since 1927 – passionately managed, constantly enlarged and modernised over the years.
In 1927, the grandparents, Michael and Maria Hofmeier bought the estate, which meant that from then on they were also the landlords of the inn registered there. Until the late fifties, Maria continued to manage the accompanying general shop with great dedication.
Some years later, Michael and Maria handed the business over to their second-eldest son Franz Xaver and his wife Therese. In 1988, they tore down the former inn to build a new one on the same site. Just six years later, the family bought the adjacent Gratzl estate, which offered space for a generously sized car park and a large beer garden.
In 1996, Franz Xaver Hofmeier’s eldest son of the same name and his wife Anneliese took over the business.
We continue in the footsteps of tradition!
Overall responsibility for the business lies with the landlords Xaver Hofmeier, farmer and chef, and his wife Anneliese Hofmeier, insurance broker, hotel manager and brandy sommelier.
Xaver Hofmeier is a passionate hunter and responsible for farming the family’s own fallow deer. Anneliese Hofmeier is also responsible for print and online media as well as the homepage and events. Since 2013, she has been chairwoman of the Freising section of the Bavarian hotel and restaurant association DEHOGA.
In 2002, she supervised the enlargement of the inn by a new hotel building with 44 hotel rooms, a wedding suite and two large apartments, all with modern furnishings.
In spring 2009, the exclusive, light-flooded “Salettl” conservatory with 180 m² space was added to the complex. In the basement under the “Salettl”, four flexible, functional meeting rooms were installed. The cosy garden under chestnut trees and the separate, slightly raised terrace were newly laid out and now invite guests to linger for an extended stay.
In 2014, the in-house distillery was opened and officially went into operation in 2015. In the same year, the quaint “hunting lodge” was built and ceremoniously opened.
The young Hofmeier team
We continue in the footsteps of tradition!
We are happy that the fourth generation of Hofmeiers has also inherited the “innkeeper gene”:
Maximilian Hofmeier, the landlords’ eldest son, successfully finished his training as a chef at the Aying brewery restaurant a long time ago. After that, he gathered valuable experience at Freihaus Brenner on Lake Tegernsee, the Tantris restaurant (two Michelin stars) in Munich under Hans Haas, and the Huberwirt inn in Pleiskirchen, where he worked as deputy chef to Alexander Huber (one Michelin star). Two winter seasons at the Zürserhof Hotel at Zürs am Arlberg in Austria put the final polish on his culinary skills. In 2016, he successfully passed the chef examination. Since 2017, he has been responsible for creating new, modern specialities together with his father Xaver in the Hofmeier’s Hotel and Country Inn’s kitchen.
His younger brother Fabian Hofmeier is a freight forwarding specialist. In the family business, he is responsible for bar creations during events. Furthermore, he is the right hand of his uncle Herbert Hofmeier in the manufacture of brandy. In addition, in 2018 Fabian successfully completed an apprenticeship as a fine brandy sommelier.
The daughter of the house, Patricia Hofmeier, completed a 5-year apprenticeship as a tourism clerk at the tourism college “Villa Blanca” in Innsbruck, Austria.
