The history of our hotel

The hotel was first mentioned in a document in 1733 and was already called Grauer Wolf (Grey Wolf) at that time. It is not entirely clear where the name comes from, but it is rumoured that an old wolf once looked in at one of the windows at night and thus gave the inn its name. The Langhammer family has owned the former inn since 1982, and over time, modernisation, renovation and acquisitions have added another 25 rooms to the 15 rooms it once had. With the new building in 2017, the hotel now has a proud 40 rooms for its guests.

    First documented mention

    The traditional pub Grauer Wolf (Grey Wolf) was founded in 1757 by Johann Michael Farian in the southern Stadtmauerstr. 4. The name probably goes back to the former landlord Georg Wolf.

    Naming

    In 1829 the Grauer Wolf exchanged places with the beer tavern “Zum goldenen Fäßlein”, which had been located at Hauptstraße 80 since the middle of the 18th century.
    The Grauer Wolf served as a regular pub for the farmers of the nearby Schweinemarkt on the Altstädter Kirchplatz.
