History

In 1940 Otto Weber opened a restaurant at Uraniastrasse (current Sternwarte). It was a typical familiy company which growed up in the fifties caused by the booming economie at Bahnhofstrasse. At this time there wasn't staff canteens so Otto Weber's restaurant produces hundred's of lunches. The restaurant had about 130 employees at peak-time.

It was customary in the 1950s for hospitality employers to offer on-site accommodation to their staff. Later on, additional rooms and apartments were added and offered to the general public. What used to be a sideline turned into a strategic business purpose.

1971 Otto Weber handed over the company to next generation which founded the firm Otto Weber & Co.
