History and setting
The business dates back to 1438. The first inn stood next to the village church until the 17th century, when it had to move because it drew more people than the services. A license of September 20, 1655 names the ancestor Lüdeke Ralefs. After a fire, a new restaurant building with a festival hall opened on September 20, 1995. Susanne and Josef Ostler took over in 2008, and Christine and Jan-Hendrik Ostler now represent the 20th generation.
Getting there
