Goodbye, Buzihütte!
Cult restaurant closes after six decades
Another traditional inn is closing its doors in Innsbruck. The end of the "Buzihütte" not only hurts the owners, but also the guests of the cult restaurant. In particular, the legendary "Eiterbeule" - the restaurant's specialty - will be missed by many fans.
It is the end of a Tyrolean gastronomic legend: The popular "Buzihütte" high above Innsbruck is closing its doors for good on January 12. For regular guests, hikers and generations of visitors, it is a painful farewell.
"I ate the last boil yesterday - super tasty as always," says regular guest Robert, mourning the loss of his favorite dish - a schnitzel filled with cheese, sausage and a few secret ingredients. "It's a real shame that the Buzihütte is closing. Thanks for everything!" he writes disappointedly on a review platform.
The Buzihütte is my home, my life.
Wirtin Karoline Pilz-Strauss
"An era is coming to an end"
For operator Karoline Pilz-Strauss, the closure is a wistful step that brings "tears to her eyes". For more than 40 years, she worked day in, day out in her inn, which has long been more than just a place of work. "The Buzihütte is my home, my life," she says in an interview with the Krone. But the strain became too much in the end - age, years of physically demanding work and, above all, the acute shortage of staff, which forced her and her husband to manage almost everything on their own.
There is also a development that particularly affects her: criticism is increasingly being voiced anonymously on the internet instead of in a conversation on site. "Appreciation is simply no longer what it used to be," says Pilz-Strauss. In the end, the desire to "still have something of their own life" remained.
No further lease planned
The decision was difficult - very difficult. "I never put myself first, the Buzihütte was always the most important thing to me," emphasizes Pilz-Strauss. The decades-long success of the rustic hut also proves her right. She rules out the possibility of leasing it out: She doesn't want to leave her home to anyone.
A pre-Christmas celebration was held to say goodbye - with familiar faces, warm conversations and a look back at the past years.
The closure of the "Buzihütte" means the loss of not only an inn, but also a piece of Tyrolean pub culture. Innsbruck is losing a piece of its soul.
