150 Years Linde - An Anniversary.
1865 |
The new building of the inn was built by Anton Fahrenschon and his wife Marianne, thus creating a coherent townscape as far as the Günzburg - Ichenhausen road. The Chronicle reports that after the erection of the roof truss, a strong gust of wind broke the attic and had to be erected a second time. After the completion of the building, the restaurant was opened immediately. Since a linden had been planted on the open space at the entrance of the village a year earlier, the inn was named "Zur Linde". After just a few years, the couple Fahrenschon sold the inn to Johann Grimbacher, who lived as a blacksmith in Deffingen. |
