100 years of Gründelhaus: Glauchau celebrates its mysterious history!

Glauchau, Deutschland - The Gründelhaus restaurant in Glauchau is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The traditional restaurant was opened in June 1925 and has since developed into an important meeting point for the city's citizens. Despite its long history, however, it becomes clear that a lot of information about the development and importance of the Gründelpark in which the Gründelhaus is located are missing. Angelika Grau, a former city guide and committed hobby historian, is intensively devoted to this topic.
Ms. Grau has set itself the task of dealing with the history of the restaurant and the park. She interviews residents, browses in archives and gives lectures on local history. Your current project focuses specifically on the Gründelhaus and its influence on the community in Glauchau.

In the past few weeks, the Gründelhaus has attracted additional interest due to its anniversary. Many people who have memories of the restaurant show their interest and there is a positive response to the diverse historical initiatives that are supported by the local city archive. Historical postcards that show the Gründelhaus and its surroundings have also been bought by collectors and those interested in history in the past few weeks. One of these postcards shows the restaurant on the Gründelteich and reflects the history of the place.
These postcards are offered on platforms such as OldDhing, where the collectors have positive experiences regarding the preservation of these memorabilia.
