Elke Kazianka runs the Ortsburg inn in Gailtal (Carinthia) with great passion. However, a dispute between the municipality and the landlady is putting a massive damper on the mood. The municipality wants to terminate the lease and is taking the businesswoman to court. The "Krone" spoke to the landlady about the reasons.

Gasthaus Ortsburg in Vorderberg has been successfully serving food for seven years. "A few months ago, however, there was a problem with a guest. That was probably the trigger for the whole dispute," says Elke Kazianka, who has been self-employed for 25 years. And in the meantime, the dispute between the entrepreneur and the municipality, which owns and leases the local castle, has ended up in court. "They want to get rid of me," says the landlady during the "Krone" site inspection.
