Insolvency at Lake Klopein: Marolt is fighting for his hotels!

In a dramatic case of corporate insolvency, K. S. Betriebs GmbH & Co KG, which is led by former politician Heinz Anton Marolt, has hit the headlines. The company, which runs well-known tourism businesses on the idyllic Lake Klopein, is faced with a debt burden of over 1.6 million euros. This situation has not only occupied the Austrian media, but has also caused a stir in Germany, which may be due to the national fame of Marolt's daughter, Larissa Marolt, who came into the spotlight through her appearances in reality TV formats such as Germany's Next Top Model krone.at reported.

Bankruptcy was officially announced on February 6, 2025 as the company suffered from condensed financial demands. Despite the cessation of operations, Marolt plans to continue business through a restructuring process with self-management. So far, the company has employed around 80 people in the 2024 season, but there are currently no employees. The company's debts add up to around 2.3 million euros, and the excitement surrounding this bankruptcy has already sparked widespread discussion. However, in a public statement, Marolt rejected false claims about the state of the hotel businesses and made it clear that they were still economically stable kleinezeitung.at.

Financial turmoil and future-oriented plans

K. S. Betriebs GmbH, prominent in the tourism landscape, is currently under enormous pressure as it grapples with the challenge of overcoming its financial problems. Marolt, as managing director and shareholder of the company, shows in his statements his determination to push ahead with restructuring in order to secure both the company and the jobs of its employees. The fate of these hotel businesses will therefore be of strategic importance not only for Marolt, but also for the region, while at the same time it remains uncertain how the situation will develop further.
