The history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino - part 2

As already mentioned in the first part of this blog, Georg Struggl's son Martin married Maria Josefa, the daughter of an iron ore mine and nail forge operator, in 1723. In this part of the story, you will find out whether their relationship persisted over the years and how the Moser family came into play.

Fate had it hat Maria Josefa lost her husband quite ealry into their marriage which forced her to run the business all on her own. When a second big fire hit Klagenfurt, large parts of the city including the hotel were severely damaged. The neighbou's son, Josef Moser helped Maria Josefa with the comprehensive reconstruction works, during which they fell in love with each other. After only a short while, Maria Josefa got pregnant with the first of their altogether eight children. They spent a wonderful 18 years together but then Josef Moser died and Maria Josefa was once again left to fight for herself. Unwilling to give in to her fate, she held her ground and invested all her strength into the family business and the upbringing of her children. Over the years, Maria Josefa became a much loved and respected landlady thus laying the foundations for the hotel's excellent reputation.

The Moser family

Maria Josefa's grandson, Johann Nepomuk Moser supported his family as best as he could. Being a passionate host, he was widely known for his excellent social skills, his determination, reliability and kindness. Married to Katharina, the beautiful daughter of Klagenfurt's town magistrate Jesse, Johann Nepomuk lived a long and fulfilled life. At the age of 78, he retired and handed over the business to his children.


His youngest son viktor took much after his father. He renovated the hotel in 1860 by enlarging it and tiling the roof with red brick tiles, which were rather rare in Klagenfurt at the time. Having lost her husband early into their marriage, Viktor Moser's daughter-in-law Henriette took up the challenge and ran the by then well-established Moser Hotel on her own. However, when Viktor also died on 29 January 1897, she sold the hotel for 75,000 gulden to Julius Verdino.

This was the family history of the Mosers! Look out for our next blog entry, in which we will tell you more about the Verdinos and the subsequent history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino.

It’s not only the steadily increasing temperatures which promise a pleasant March. We’ve summarised our highlights for the month and hope you’ll enjoy them!

In March a constant stream of stars will again be performing at Hamburg’s O2 World. This month will see Udo Lindenberg, Dieter Nuhr, Scooter, Roger Cicero & Band, Atze Schröder and the crazy Hamburg Hip Hop and Electro band Deichkind making the hall rock. The St. Pauli theatre, the city’s oldest private theatre and one of Germany’s oldest theatres, will be staging the Pulitzer Prize winning play Death of a Salesman. The premiere of the major classic Sonny Boy is on 31st March and tells the tale of the comic duo Willie and Al.

The International Week Against Racism runs from 16th to 24th March, setting a clear sign against intolerance and xenophobia thanks to the active support of many well-known figures during concerts, readings and workshops.

Another event not to be missed is the three-way “battle of the arts” at the Schauspielhaus on 25th March, where the two Slam giants Julius Fischer and Sebastian 23 will face off against each other in the disciplines text, film and song. Equally to be recommended is a visit to this year’s spring fair at the Hamburger Dom which opens its gates to visitors on 23rd March.

The history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino in three instalments

The following three blog entries will present the fascinating history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino Klagenfurt, which is steeped in the historical developments of the city. But read up for yourself!

The history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino started out with a small gate in the city walls of Klagenfurt called "Schlupf". This gate enabled easy access to the city since contrary to the other city gates its key was in private hands. For this reason, the door could be opened at will whenever the need arose.

In 1514, a great fire ravaged large parts of Klagenfurt. During the reconstruction works, a small house was built on the site of the "Schlupf", whose owners readily took up and cherished the special atmosphere of the place.

All the people who have worked in this building ever since have offered some sort of shelter by providing board and lodging. In 1680, the Klagenfurt merchant Georg Struggl and his wife Elisabeth bought the building and turned it into a hotel. Later on, their son Martin fell in love at first sight with the adorable daughter of an iron ore mine operator, Maria Josefa, who he married in 1723.

In part two of the story, you will find out whether their relationship persisted over the years.

The famous chocolate fondant is back

After few years of absence it's back! The famous chocolate fondant, for which the restaurant was formerly known, is back.

The chocolate fondant will be also on the new menu of the restaurant Radicchio, which is presenter four times a year! The promotion and the comeback took place on the main square in Zagreb at the "Chocolate Festival", where our chef Danijel Bibic presented the preparation. Infront of the audience Danijel made 18 fondants and answered questions on it, what to consider when making the fondant. Danijel took the opportunity and presented by the way the offer of the restaurant and the ARCOTEL Allegra itself in a fun and entertaining way. Through humorous comments, he has managed to create a cheerful mood.
That was the first "Chocolate Fest", which was organized in Zagreb, but since the feedback is so good, the organizers consider similar events for the future to promote Croatian cuisine.

Enjoy a special evening!
