History

250 Years of Örtlerhof History – Moments to Cherish

1766
Georg Ladurner married Maria Golser. This is the first mention of the name Ladurner at Örtlerhof. For over 200 years, the farm was involved in livestock farming, crop cultivation, and viticulture, with all its ups and downs.

1946
When my grandfather Ignaz (*1903) took over the farm after World War II, he switched from crop farming to growing apples and pears.

1947
The eldest son Ignaz was born. Along with his five siblings, they helped their parents on the farm.

1953
The first guests arrived. Our grandmother Maria (1913*) rented out 4 double rooms and a single room. The farmer’s room was panelled, becoming the living and breakfast room for guests and the family.

1956
A bathroom with a wood stove was built, and each room was equipped with a washbasin and running cold water.

More and more fields were planted with apple trees. The new varieties Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Jonathan were introduced.
