After the Baumgartner pair retired in July, the last inn in St. Marienkirchen is also confronted with an uncertain future. Now the family is trying to find a new tenant through an online advertising portal.
4500 euros for an inn? Sounds like a bargain, but of course “only” is the monthly rent. The Gasthaus Baumgartner in St. Marienkirchen is now being offered for lease on a well -known online advertising portal. The Markus and Monika Baumgartner couple will retire on July 1, 2025, son Stefan is in sale at the Brauunion and does not want to take over.
“The wish would be to lease, maybe we will find someone skilled, in the best case a few restaurant owners. Because it is potentially available, people still like to go to the tavern. Even if the personnel problem of course plays an important role, “says Stefan Baumgartner.
“Cardinal Cuts brought it to television”
“It is the last remaining tavern in St. Marienkirchen. We had good regional dishes. The family atmosphere has awarded us. I am asked by the population every day to take over. And the decision was really not easy for me, “explains the son of the house.
And Dad Mark also finds it difficult to give up his inn. “There are such beautiful memories. It always went up for 35 years. Many people who took the food also came during the Corona Times. I will miss the regular guests the most. The gypsy skewer was the traditional dinner with us. And our legendary cardinal cuts. It even came on television, “the boss said proudly. Who wants an Austrian operator. “So that the tradition of a home style kitchen is continued.”
