Herbert and Anita Querfeld first leased Café Landtmann on 01 March 1976. The Landtmann was already a veritable institution at that time, but the infrastructure and equipment of the grand café were no longer in keeping with the times. Other long-established coffee houses disappeared from the Ringstraße for similar reasons.
Herbert Querfeld not only wanted to offer his guests an authentic setting, but also delicious Viennese pastries to go with the coffee. These were then freshly baked on a daily basis in the cellar vaults of the Landtmann. Everything was done by hand with classic ingredients and according to traditional recipes. Demand grew steadily. In the subsequent years, the family took over additional cafés and successfully brought the Viennese pastry culture over from the headquarters. “Landtmann’s feine Patisserie” has supplied them all from a large bakery in Alt-Erlaa since 2006: Café Mozart on Albertinaplatz, Café Residenz in Schönbrunn, Café Hofburg in the inner courtyard of Hofburg Palace, Landtmann’s Parkcafé at the Neptune Fountain in the Schönbrunn Palace Park, Café Museum, Landtmann\\’s Jausen Station in the Schönbrunn Crown Prince Garden and the Bootshaus on the Alte Donau.
Each Querfeld family business is completely oriented to its individual potential with a lot of feeling and taste. The Landtmann is not a museum-like coffee house, but rather a lively place for people to meet. All locations are managed by family members and excellent coffee house teams.
