Wehle, a name associated with gastronomy for generations, always following the vision to practice hospitality at its finest and to impart joy on its guests.

Grandfather Friedrich Wehle was head of the spa hotel Zum Hirsch in Baden-Baden, later he took the helm of the family inn Zum Ochsen in Salzstetten near Horb.

After years of travel in France and England Father Hans Wehle came back home. He was bar chief in the famous Jimmy's Bar in Frankfurt. Later he introduced all his skill as a restaurateur into the Brückenkeller.
