History

Once upon a time… there was a family that was dispossessed of its property on the island of Ruegen by communist authorities then in charge in the former East Germany. Friends in the Black Forrest came to the rescue and the West German government helped to acquire a house in Schoenwald that is situated on the banks of the Gutach river,

 

at the very place where it forms a little island. Hosting friends came easy, and thus was born DIE INSELKLAUSE. It opened on July 15, 1955 and quickly became a home away from home to guests from around the world that just kept coming back.
