HISTORY TROMPETERSCHLÖSSLE

1904

The Art Nouveau villa, built in 1904, was taken over in 1905 by Anton Reiser, who set up a restaurant with a café and a grocery store. He named this property Trompeterschlössle because Victor von Scheffel's opera "Der Trompeter von Säckingen" had thrilled him and thus inspired this name.
1919

From this year on, Anton Reiser organizes dance evenings in the newly built hall, where Constance and Swiss neighbors meet and get to know each other better. In addition, measured quantities of coffee, sugar, chocolate or cigarettes can be purchased duty-free in the property's store.
