history

The Rosenberger family originally comes from Wallsee . There Ms. Rosenberger, the mother of three sons, ran a restaurant and a small guesthouse. The old house can still be viewed from the outside today and you can still recognize the name Rosenberger. Wolfgang Rosenberger was the middle of three sons in the Rosenberger family. He originally earned his living in the transport business - he drove gravel for the Danube power plant with two of his own trucks. After selling his trucks, Wolfgang Rosenberger and his wife Christine built the first motorway service station near St. Valentin in the 1960s. After the sudden death of Wolfgang Rosenberger, the trained cook and pastry chef Heinz J. Rosenberger returned from Canada and took over the business together with Christine Rosenberger.

Heinz J. Rosenberger then opened the Rosenberger motorway service station in St. Pölten in December 1972, followed by the first motel in Großram in August 1976. In the following years, more motorway restaurants were opened at various locations throughout Austria. Under the leadership of Heinz J. Rosenberger, the company was expanded to 19 restaurants by 1999, including 18 motorway service stations, and a hotel with a total of 1000 employees.

In 1999 Heinz J. Rosenberger died at the age of 62, the business was continued by the widow Beverly Rosenberger and the son, the racing driver Kristopher Rosenberger. In 2003, following an inheritance dispute, the restaurants were divided between the Beverly Rosenberger (Heinrich Rosenberger Familienholding GmbH) and Christine Rosenberger families . The Christine Rosenberger Family Holding GmbH currently operates 16 motorway restaurants under the label Landzeit with Wolfgang Rosenberger as managing director.

On July 31, 2013, it became known that the company had been sold to two Chinese entrepreneurial families. The reason given for the sale was the lack of money for further expansion. Initially, the sale did not change the concept or management. Melina and Kris Rosenberger advised the company. In October 2013, Kris Rosenberger was in his own company in the second season of the issue of Undercover Boss on ORF .

In 2016, parts of the company headquarters and management were relocated from Loosdorf in Lower Austria to Salzburg . Thomas Wollner was the sole managing director of the Rosenberger Restaurants from November 2016. Thomas Wollner and Jutta Wollner have each held a 15% stake in the company since 2018. In July 2018, Jutta Wollner and Meinhard Friedl succeeded Thomas Wollner in the management of the Rosenberger Group and Rosenberger Restaurant GmbH. Thomas Wollner had previously been part of the management for four years.

On December 11, 2018, Rosenberger Restaurant GmbH submitted an application to the St. Pölten Regional Court to initiate restructuring proceedings . The liabilities were put at around 12 million euros.

At the beginning of 2019, the Chinese investors, who had owned almost all of Rosenberger Holding GmbH since 2013, sold their shares to the Viennese company developer Connexio Research & Business Development GmbH .

In March 2019, the Burger King operator TQSR Holding und Development GmbH bought 100 percent of the shares in Rosenberger Restaurant GmbH, which is currently in the redevelopment process. It is planned that the rest stops will be comprehensively renovated by 30 million euros within the next two years and then reopened. From 2020, the restaurants are to appear under the new umbrella brand Rosehill Foodparks . They are supposed to offer up to four further gastronomy concepts under one roof.
