Restaurant Hinkelhaus - Hesse à la carte
The Hinkelhaus restaurant in Wiesbaden was awarded the “Hessen à la carte” distinction and the red-and-white “Hessen à la carte” sign.
In 1901, Julius and Wilhelmine Rieser built the Hinkelhaus restaurant. In addition to the restaurant, they also constructed a hall where, in addition to dance events, fruit and lumber auctions were held.
Walter and Luise Rieser managed the property through the difficult times of World War II and the postwar period. Their son Waldemar and his wife Rosemarie took over the restaurant and the tree nursery in 1967. The Hinkelhaus took on its current appearance in 1983, when the dance hall was remodeled. Since January 1, 2001, Wolfgang Rieser has been managing the restaurant together with his wife, Karin. In July 2001, the Hinkelhaus celebrated its 100th anniversary.
