As early as 1892, Leonhard Panholzer and his wife Maria founded a grocery store with a dairy at the Old Train Station in Partenkirchen, where they also sold roasted coffee from a small, fine coffee roastery in Hamburg. At the time, this was still a real rarity, as the art of coffee roasting was still largely unknown.
The passion for high-quality coffee has prevailed in the family. A good 120 years later, his great-grandson Leonhard Wild, known as Hardi, took up this idea again and, together with his wife Stefanie, founded the Wildkaffee Rösterei, the first coffee roastery in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
