Demolition of Klagenfurt's Kultlokal: A piece of history disappears!

Mießtaler Straße, Klagenfurt, Österreich - The demolition of "Uncle Tom’s Hütte", one of the most famous inns in Klagenfurt, started today. Due to a tense city budget and the associated financial framework, this drastic step had to be taken. The popular meeting point, which has existed since 1935 and was primarily known for its rustic facility and regional cuisine, now draws the short -term line, while the city administration already has the first plans for the future use of the site. "The area is sealed and the lines for electricity and water are preserved," explains City Councilor Max Havenicht (ÖVP), as meinbezirk.at .

A popular restaurant disappears

The nostalgic memories of "Uncle Tom’s Hütte" are deeply rooted. Former tenants such as Johannes Novak and Josef Tischler have their best memories of the times when the restaurant was a must for all lawsuits. This is not only a loss for the restaurateurs, but also for the entire city that has less institution. "I have operated the hut for over 40 years. It is a shame that the entire interior has already been torn out," says Tischler, who even patented the local name.

But the city already has a plan B: Foodtrucks are to find their way into the area that has now become free in the coming year. "Three interested parties have already registered, but we have to wait and see how the budget is developing," said Having. The city council emphasizes that in the current financial situation it was not possible to renovate the restaurant and that the new projects on the property could be an urgently needed source of income for the city.
