White Horse Inn Commemorative Plaque

The commemorative plaque at the restaurant Wesn in Lauffen commemorates the White Horse Inn (Gasthaus zum Weissen Rössl), which was once located just opposite.

The plaque was ceremoniously installed on 16 October 2017 by the Cultural Heritage Society of Bad Ischl (Ischler Heimatverein).

Some details:

On 16 October 2017, former mayor Georg Nitzler unveiled a commemorative plaque commemorating the White Horse Inn (Gasthaus zum Weissen Rössl) in Lauffen. The inn became Oscar Blumenthal’s (1852 – 1917) inspiration for his successful comedy The White Horse Inn. Exactly sixty years before the unveiling of the plaque (16 October 1957) Ralph Benatzky, the composer who had turned Blumenthal's comedy into its namesake, died.
