The past and the present
The owner’s Grandfather Max Hörner bought the Rössle in 1964 and it has been the family’s number one passion ever since.
In 1965, the renovations began and it was only 2 years later when mother Renate and father Ernst Hörner opened the Rössle as the country inn that we know today. They were in charge of it until 1997. Since then, Marc Hörner has taken up running the Gasthof as Hörners Landgasthof and has been doing so with great passion ever since.
The Landgasthof Rössle
The exact building year of the main building is unknown. However, an interesting discovery was made when the building was renovated in 1956. A wooden panel covered in old writing symbols and marked as dating back to 1677 was found on the northern wall of today’s dining hall.
The panel and the building must have made it through Türkheim’s two disastrous fires in 1735 and 1871 together. We assume that the house was built in the 17th century.
Until about 1930, the Gasthof Zum Rössle included a brewery and a distillery.
1964 – Today
After the inn was altered to include a restaurant, the Rössle had 6 modernly furnished guest rooms and hot water. When mother Renate and father Ernst Hörner reopened the inn, Ernst Hörner’s time at sea came to an end.
With delicious international cuisine, the Rössle soon acquired an excellent reputation and guests from Stuttgart, Ulm and beyond came to the inn.
In 1997, their son Marc would take the lead. Extension, renovation, and modernization have always been part of Hörners Landgasthof – of course, always to offer our guests an even greater experience.
