AND HISTORY
We can rightfully claim that our Romantik Hotel Oberwirt is not just one of many hotels in South Tyrol. With its long history, it is a place full of traditions and values. It first appears in the history books in 1496 as 'Jakob Wirt' or 'zum oberen Wirt.' Around 1600, the building was already documented under the name 'Oberwürth.
Several changes of ownership later, the name 'Waldner' first appears in the registration records in 1749, thus establishing our family tradition, which continues to this day.

UNDER ONE ROOF
With the transition of the Oberwirt to the ownership of the Waldner family, a development that continues to this day begins.
Over several generations of the Waldner family, the original village inn evolves into a place of enjoyment and indulgence. Courage, a spirit of innovation, and foresight unite all family members. Even the great-grandparents, Martha and Franz Waldner, demonstrated great pioneering spirit in the 1950s and 1960s when they transformed the Oberwirt into a hotel. When their son Josef took over the family business in 1973, he set further milestones for future generations and brought modern, contemporary luxury - always in harmony with the existing traditions - into the Oberwirt.
With daughter Barbara, another generation now takes the reins. Together, she and 'Sepp' lead the Oberwirt into the future.
