The history of Gasthof zur Post dates back to 1456, when it was a manor house and residence of the noble Bavarian family Hundtsberger, who opened a restaurant at this location in 1567. Following several ownership changes, a postal station with stables opened in 1889 with the inkeeper innkeeper as the manager. In 1902 a telegraph system with a morse Morse transmitter was installed.
