A family with history. And a long tradition as innkeepers. Even emperors and kings were looked after by the Staudachers when they stopped by their inns.

Being an innkeeper is a tradition for the Staudachers. It dates back to when the family was still based in the Austrian Tyrol, where the family's roots lie. The first documented mentions date back to the 12th and 13th centuries. Since 1503, the ancient, honorable Staudacher family has had its own coat of arms, granted by Emperor Maximilian I. The Roman-German Emperor Inn in Tyrol has been run by the family for generations.

As early as 1880, Johann Staudacher and his wife were entertaining royalty, including King Ludwig II of Bavaria and Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria. Franz Josef often stayed at the Staudacher's inn, the Holy Roman Emperor in Tyrol's Upper Inn Valley. He drank wine from the chalice of Emperor Maximilian, which the family still guards like a precious treasure.

In 1907, Franz-Josef Staudacher moved to Garmisch, where he married an innkeeper's daughter. Thus began the German branch of the Staudacher family. They have always been innkeepers with heart and soul. Initially, they served as hosts in the family guesthouse. And then for 120 years, spanning four generations. The creation of the modern Bavarian History & Lifestyle Hotel. The Hotel Staudacherhof as we know it today.

The Staudachers are proud of their tradition. As a family and as hosts. But also of their own family coat of arms. Emperor Maximilian I personally granted the coat of arms in 1503. Emperor Ferdinand even elevated the Staudacher family to the status of imperial nobility in 1647. Even today, the coat of arms – with shield, laurel branch, leaves, and helmet – is omnipresent. It adorns the tower of the Staudacherhof in Garmisch-Partenkirchen as a mural. It's part of the new logo. And can be found repeatedly on the website and in all advertising materials. Stylized and interpreted in a modern way, it's also a beautiful symbol of the family's philosophy: to be proud of tradition, but always to keep up with the times.

An old, honorable burgher family, documented as early as the 15th century. Emperor Maximilian I granted the Staudacher family in Tyrol a coat of arms on July 1, 16.

Archduke Leopold of Tyrol, improved the coat of arms of Balthasar Staudacher, a citizen of the Hall Council, later mayor of St. Amarin Castle, on September 9.9.1624, 3. Balthasar, son of the same name, was a Salzburg Councillor and, along with his brothers Elias and Franz Paris, was raised to the imperial nobility by Emperor Ferdinand on October 30, 1647, in Prague.
