Seniors discover tavern stories on a nostalgic bus ride
The Obere Vils-Ehenbach working group, known as AOVE, recently organized an exciting bus trip aimed at the region's seniors. This tour took participants to various former and existing taverns, where they could not only enjoy the atmosphere but also hear interesting stories from the past. The charming “senior fairy” Christa Pulsfuß warmly welcomed the guests and introduced the local caretaker Marianne Moosburger, who shone with her knowledge of the history of the inn.
Moosburger told those present not only about true events, but also about amusing anecdotes that characterized life in the inns. She explained the origin of the place names and gave insights into the history of the often no longer existing inns. The tour began in the “Hubmann” in Schalkenthan, where the participants were surprised with throwing dumplings and a young tiger. At Mausberg, the guests learned how challenging it was to occupy a “hermitage” there. Today there is another new place to stop for refreshments, run by the Wisneth family, but only after prior registration.
A look into the past of the inns
There were once two inns in Mimbach, the Kasparhansl and the Kounzn, which burned down in the 19th century but were rebuilt and formed the heart of the village for a long time. In Godlricht, Moosburger told of a landlady who seemed to be sleeping, but was always wide awake when ordering and doing arithmetic. Stories like these brought the tour to life and showed how important the inns were to the community.
In Ursulapoppenricht, the Vogel inn and “the innkeeper” stood parallel to each other for a long time and attracted many strange guests. Moosburger spoke vividly about the experiences that shaped the two restaurants. A highlight of the tour was the stop in the new Zoiglstube in the Laubhof, where the participants were treated to hearty snacks and refreshing drinks. The almost 90-year-old Josef Geisler provided hearty tavern music with his accordion and made the guests smile.
The participants had already heard about the history of the Laubhof, and master brewer Anna Ulrich proudly showed off her new brewery. The tour continued to the Kötzersrichter Gasthaus Georg Rauch and the Kümmersbucher Bottlenery Stollner. After a short stop in Marie Erras' beer garden, the group finally returned to Hahnbach, where the trip had begun. The wonderful late summer afternoon invited participants to enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful surroundings.
