About us.

One house. One team. One story on Lake Walen.

— History

The story
of the Fischerstube.

Since 1974, the Fischerstube has been one of Weesen's culinary landmarks. Just steps from Lake Walen, the house brings together tradition, hospitality and culinary culture, in a place that has connected people for generations. The unique setting between lake and mountains still shapes the identity of the Fischerstube today. Fish specialities, seasonal produce and a strong bond with the region form the foundation of a cuisine that knows its roots and stays open to new ideas. The path here was not always easy. The severe flooding of 2005 left its mark on the shores of Lake Walen. In the years that followed, the house was extensively rebuilt with great dedication and foresight. Its reopening in 2007 marked an important milestone. A new chapter began in 2022. With great respect for the house's history and a clear vision for the future, Alain Koenig now leads the Fischerstube as owner, host and head chef. Today, historic atmosphere, contemporary hospitality and a cuisine that unites classic craftsmanship with modern elegance all come together. Already in the first year after the change of ownership, the Fischerstube was awarded 14 Gault Millau points and included in the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand selection. The Gault Millau Chef of the Month award followed, along with a rise to 15 points. Today, the Fischerstube is more than a restaurant. It is a house for people who value good food, great wines and genuine hospitality, a place for special encounters, long conversations and memories that last.
