THE HISTORY OF THE "krone" is SYNONYMOUS WITH THE HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY
Our mother and grandmother Maria Rhomberg played a leading role in this history. In spite of being widowed with two small childern, it was she who took on the development of the Krone, previously a simple inn, into a guest-house with a few rooms. In the opinion of granddaughter Bettina: „I was really impressed by what my grandma did. In those days, for a woman on her own to build and run a guest-house: that was really unusual.“
Maria Rhomberg arranged things so well that she was soon able to extend the guest-house. Initially her two sons helped out in the kitchen. But gradually Thomas Rhomberg began to participate increasingly in the running of the hotel, and helped build up its tradition of hospitality.
