The Krone family – absolutely not the same thing as “Mr. and Mrs Manager and Staff”! The Krone family means Helene and Dietmar Nussbaumer and their two boys Oskar and Max, then the senior chefs Wilma and Herbert Natter and the 15 or so thoroughly nice individuals whose teamwork keeps the Krone running happily.
What it means is best seen any day at lunch-time. That’s when all the family sit down together round the “Stube table: Helene, Dietmar, Beate, Nadja, Anna, Angelina, Angelika, big Michael, little Michael, Simone, Henry, Sevim and all the others who help in kitchen, rooms or Reception – and of course Oskar and Max. We all eat, discuss, share laughs, plan, take stock, enjoy being together. his half-hour we keep special, for fostering our togetherness and sharing our love of good things.
