Johann Innerhofer (born September 27, 1837 in Schenna , † December 5, 1937 in Innsbruck ) was an Austrian innkeeper and tourism pioneer.
Life
Johann Innerhofer, born in 1837 as a scion of an old Burggräfler dynasty, initially managed his father's property at Schloss Goyen in Schenna from 1866 to 1874 . In 1876 he took over the “Grauer Bär” inn in Innsbruck, which he had turned into one of the first bourgeois restaurants in the state capital, especially since the opening of the Arlbergbahn in 1884.
As a member of the local council from 1880 to 1883 or from 1886 to 1902 and of the Chamber of Commerce as well as chairman of the inns' cooperative, Innerhofer, who was also known as a master marksman far beyond his homeland, played a major role in the development of Tyrolean tourism. Johann Innerhofer, who died in 1937, passed his inn to his son Franz in 1903 .
