In the competition "Historic Guest House 2015" the Goldener Ader was awarded the "Special Award". The Goldener Adler with its medieval building fabric extending up to the upper floors is a special feature", explained the jury and added: "However, the efforts of the owners should also be honoured, who, in contemporary conversions and extensions, have allowed both economically sensible as well as monument conservation compatible interventions to be carried out on this historically valuable architectural monument. The Mayr family shows great understanding for the history and the extraordinary monumental value of their house and has made a truly successful transformation of an "old" inn into a "new" hotel possible, which meets today's requirements and yet has largely been able to retain its original character".
