It's all about the money

The landlords of the "Goldener Hirsch" pub in Waidhofen an der Thaya (Lower Austria) will soon have had their day. There have been problems with the landlord - the controversial FPÖ state parliament president Gottfried Waldhäusl - over payments for a long time. Because the town lacks gastronomic offerings, especially at weekends, Waldhäusl is now fighting for a successor and has probably already "cooked up" a landlady. Why he could soon be picking up the apron himself ...

A post by the landlady of the "Zum goldenen Hirschen" inn in Waidhofen an der Thaya caused a stir on social media. "Our lease was surprisingly terminated. It will therefore end at the end of April," it said. This sparked a debate on the internet about the reason and background and some wild theories were put forward. Because the closing time has a politically prominent background.
