Our Team

Our motivated team of the Hotel Austria

A guest is our most important visitor.
We depend on him
He gives meaning to and is a part of our work
We do him no favour
When we serve him
He gives us the pleasure
When he gives us the chance to do so
(Mahatma Ghandi)

With his extraordinary expertise and most importantly, his remarkable humaneness, he drastically shaped and molded Hotel AUSTRIA five years long. Klaus Lechner was not only an outstanding individual, he was also most especially a human being with a lot of HEART.

For all those, who have personally known him, Klaus Lechner will remain NEVER to be FORGOTTEN ...

Here you can read our Farewell Letter again.
