The Lindtners and their history
80 years of Lindtner in Hamburg - on 1 August 2019, the gastronomic institution known far beyond the borders of Hamburg, Germany and Europe celebrated its 80th anniversary. A memorable anniversary, because it's not just the magic number 80 that gives cause for celebration, but above all the development and growth of this family business is a very special story.
On 1 August 1939, newlyweds Hermann and Alwine Lindtner opened a patisserie on Meßberg in Hamburg's city centre. The business was a hit with the people of Hamburg - until bombs hit the shop in 1943. The couple managed to escape from the burning city centre, but the confectionery, including the bakery and inventory, was lost.
After the war, the couple started a new beginning in the Eppendorf district of Hamburg, on Eppendorfer Landstraße. They wanted it to be a café in the classic style, with top-class furnishings and quality. This has remained true to this day. Constant modernisation in the technical area and careful adaptation to today's needs have never detracted from the charm of the guest rooms and the popularity with young and old.
The founding couple took a big step in 1949 with the construction of the Lindtner hotel restaurant in Heimfeld. Exactly 99 days passed from the laying of the foundation stone to the opening.
Three daughters, Heidrun, Brunhild and Korri, who now run the business together, were born in the meantime. In the years and decades that followed, the people of Harburg flocked to the house on the Schwarze Bergen, enjoying themselves with food and drink, music and dancing. Girls and boys celebrated their dances here in the Great Hall.
The Privathotel Lindtner has always been a popular address for graduation parties, wedding celebrations and anniversaries. The Harburg marksmen's guild from 1528 has its headquarters here. For many guests, the house with its still private atmosphere has become a second home.
