New chapter: Widmann's Alb.leben is blossoming under new management!
A new chapter is opening in the picturesque region in the Ostalbkreis: Anna and Andreas Widmann have taken over the family business Widmann's Alb.leben in the ninth generation. Dieser Schritt markiert einen bedeutenden Wechsel, denn die vollständige Übergabe des Unternehmens wurde bereits Anfang 2025 vollzogen. The two have been managing the catering and hotel operations in Zang since 2017, but now they also have complete responsibility for the catering/event area and the cooking school. The information on this follows from current reports from Swabian Post.
What makes the Widmanns particularly happy? They look back on a long family tradition that they would like to continue. Frank and Regina Widmann are now withdrawing from day-to-day business to give the new entrepreneurial couple space for creative ideas. Andreas Widmann describes the takeover as a privilege to build on his parents' legacy and continue the tradition. The “ursprung” restaurant has been able to enjoy a Michelin star for seven years, which shows that excellent cuisine is in demand here.
The diversity of Widmann’s Alb.leben
Widmann’s Alb.leben not only includes a star restaurant, but also the cozy inn “Widmann’s Löwen”, a modern hotel with Alb.style rooms and chalets as well as a gourmet shop and a cooking workshop. The company also offers a wide range of catering options. The fresh handwriting of the new management is expected to help further develop this diversity. Information about this can be found on the Widmann’s Alb.leben website ( Widmann's Alb.leben ).
If you look into the future, it becomes clear: Anna and Andreas Widmann have a lot of plans with their innovative spirit of optimism and want to continue what is special about Widmann's Alb.leben and take it to new heights. Their many years of experience in day-to-day business will certainly be a valuable foundation on which they can build with fresh enthusiasm and thus continue to offer guests an unforgettable experience.
