After the flames raged through the Neubergerhof in Filzmoos, the family is happy about the enormous solidarity and support in the village. Guests were still retrieving belongings from the damaged rooms on Thursday.

The day after the flaming inferno on the upper floor of the four-star Neubergerhof in Filzmoos, the clean-up work began. Parts of the hotel are badly damaged. Guests were able to retrieve their belongings from their rooms on Thursday in consultation with the owner family and emergency services. The hotel was fully booked with a total of 156 adults and children. First aid was quickly provided for all of them in the kindergarten and alternative accommodation was found.

Great solidarity in the village
For the hotelier family, the great solidarity in the village is now a great support: "Our endless thanks go to every single helper," say the Reiters. The list of helpers is long: the fire department from Filzmoos and neighboring communities, community employees, the Red Cross, rural youth, tourism association. "Simply fantastic," says Alexandra Reiter on behalf of her family. The Neubergerhof with its adjoining farm is the life's work of four generations. They all help out on the farm. Above all, they are happy that neither people nor animals were injured in the fire.

The cause of the fire was not yet known on Thursday. It is still unclear when guests can be received again. "Due to the damage, which cannot yet be estimated, we are unable to open until further notice," the website regrets.
