Weisses Rössl (Hotel)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White Horse Inn (2012)

The Weisse Rössl is a hotel and restaurant in St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut on Lake Wolfgang in Austria .

For over 500 years, guests have been accommodated in the property below the St. Wolfgang pilgrimage church . The actual hotel “Weisse Rössl” was built in 1878. In 1912 Paul Johann Peter took over the hotel. The family business is now in the third generation. The current owner is Helmut Peter , who was also a member of the National Council from 1990 to 1999 .

The "Weisse Rössl" served as the background for the Singspiel Im white Rössl by Ralph Benatzky (1930) and also as a backdrop for numerous film adaptations, including Im weissen Rössl (1960) with Peter Alexander as waiter Leopold and Waltraut Haas as Rössl landlady. The Weißes Rössl also played an important role as a rival hotel in Franz Antel's three films about the hotel “Schwarzes Rößl”, most recently in Out of Edge and Band at Wolfgangsee (1972), with Waltraut Haas again playing the Rössl landlady.

In 1994, the hotel and the 1960 film also served as a model for the stage program Im Weisse Rößl am Wolfgangsee by Ursli Pfister (with Otto Sander , Meret Becker , Max Raabe , Pfister siblings and Gerd Wameling ). In 2013 it came with Im weissen Rössl - Woe Du singst! to another film adaptation of Jan Berger as screenwriter and Christian Theede as director, whereby the hotel was only namesake (the film was shot in St. Gilgen )
