Schwendi's star chef Julius Reisch: Entry in the Golden Book!

There is a celebration in Schwendi! The star chef Julius Reisch has immortalized himself in the municipality's Golden Book, and this represents another milestone in his impressive career. During the entry, Mayor Wolfgang Späth acknowledged the importance of the Golden Book for deserving citizens of the municipality. It is an expression of appreciation for Reisch, who took over the traditional hotel “Oberschwäbischer Hof” from his parents in 2020 and now runs it together with his wife Anna. Under her leadership, the “Esszimmer” restaurant in the hotel has developed into a culinary jewel in the region.

The “Esszimmer” received the desired Michelin star in 2023, making it the first and so far only Michelin star restaurant in the Biberach district. It has established itself as a true flagship for the region's gastronomic landscape. Reisch, who is proud of this achievement, expressed his gratitude for the entry in the Golden Book and is looking forward to the Michelin award ceremony on June 17, 2025, where he is confident that he will be able to continue to hold the star.

A new award in the gastronomy scene

Julius Reisch has also recently received another honor: Gault & Millau has included him in the ranks of five young culinary talents in the “Next Generation” category of 2025. This shows that his commitment and talent in the catering industry have not gone unnoticed. Gault & Millau is known for honoring the best restaurants and personalities on the German gastronomy scene and is considered one of the most important restaurant guides in the country. For the “dining room” this was honored with three red toques for outstanding gastronomy – a confirmation of the high quality that Reisch and his team offer. Day card reports that…

The “dining room” wine list is also in a class of its own; It includes around 500 different wine positions, which ensures Reisch additional recognition among wine connoisseurs. Awards like these show how important it is in today's gastronomy to offer an extensive and high-quality wine selection.

Another step towards gourmet excellence

The competition doesn't sleep, even if Reisch is currently in the spotlight. He was nominated for the title of “Rising Star of the Year” by the renowned German gourmet magazine “Feinschmecker”. Voting for this title ends on July 3rd, another slalom course on its way to the top tier of German gastronomy. It remains to be seen how this competitive situation will develop. Food Fellas explains that…

Julius Reisch is living proof that a lot can be achieved with passion and commitment. Following his journey is exciting and the local community looks with pride at its gastronomy, which is becoming increasingly important and respected. The “Oberschwäbischer Hof” and its “dining room” could soon reach even greater culinary heights. Here's what every foodie should have on their radar!
