Oettinger Back at the stove: Michelin-Stern stays in Fellbach!

Oettinger Back at the stove: Michelin-Stern stays in Fellbach!

Michael Oettinger is back at the stove in his restaurant in Fellbach-Schmiden! After a short experiment with Kay Lurz, who was brought on board as a chef in September 2023, Oettinger is back in his usual role. The chemistry between Oettinger and Lurz apparently did not vote, which led to mutually mutually agreed separation at the end of April 2025. This means that Oettinger’s restaurant remains the only address in Fellbach, which is awarded a Michelin star. This is a special achievement that stands not only for the quality of the kitchen, but also for the traditional rich, which goes back to 1900.

The restaurant focused on the last award of the stars in June. Gourmets and critics appreciate the reliability of the testers and were full of expectation of how the situation around Oettinger would develop. Fortunately, the star remained, which was perceived as a great relief in the scene. After all, the Michelin Stern is considered one of the highest awards for excellent cuisine and is not only awarded on the basis of appearances, but according to five universal criteria, which include the product quality and originality of the dishes. Whether a restaurant can keep its star depends on whether the quality of the kitchen is preserved, regardless of the chef.

With Oettinger as chef, the course for the future is set. He had originally planned to step shorter to have more time for his family, but the return to the kitchen could turn out to be exactly the right decision. To complete the team, a new local manager was also hired: Sommelier Jonas Erhardt, who previously worked in Hanover and in the Hotel Hohenhaus, will now take care of the wine bar in the restaurant.

In the four -year term of Kay Lurz there were some changes. He brought a breath of fresh air to the restaurant, but the compatibility was ultimately decisive. Oettinger himself not only ensured stability through his return, but also underlined his commitment to maintaining and developing the culinary heritage in the region.

the best? Oettinger’s restaurant continues to offer unforgettable culinary experiences that know how to convince every gourmet. If you have earned a Michelin Stern, you not only have to put excellent dishes on the table, but also offer a constant quality over the entire menu. And that is exactly where Oettinger is a master.

For everyone who is looking for a special dinner, Oettinger’s restaurant remains an absolute insider tip. A visit could truly prove to be worthwhile!
