HISTORY
In 1923 the mason Johann Schmidt from Kulmbach built the pub “Zur Eiche” in Pörbitsch. Almost 30 years later, it was converted into an inn. When Schmidt died in the early 1970s, his son took over the “Eiche” to continue it in the old tradition.
However, the guesthouse was leased until the beginning of the 2000s, as the Schmidt family moved their residence to Württemberg. During this time, the middle-class hotel was able to establish itself as a popular guesthouse in the Kulmbach region.
On their return in 2004, the Schmidt family took over the “Eiche” again and made it what it is today: not only a popular accommodation on the Main cycle path, but also a cozy 3-star hotel to feel good. Not only cyclists, but also hikers use the proximity to nature and especially to the Main cycle path to spend their vacation in Upper Franconia.
With the new building “Aacherla” (the small oak) our hotel was extended by new guest rooms. Since May 2021, the hotel “An der Eiche” is owned by the Small Hotel GmbH based in Kulmbach.
