2 History Why Zum Siegburger It s more than 60 years now since the footballer Willi Scholten was approached by SV Straelen to move from his TuS Kevelaer team and join them. However, he didn t want to risk the move without an assured financial basis for his life. As it happened, in 1967 the Panhuysen sisters were looking for a successor to take over their little restaurant and bakery in Straelen. Founded in 1870 by Peter Boeckstegers, it had been run since 1900 by his daughter Anna Panhuysen and her three daughters. That was the opening Willi Scholten had been waiting for, and he moved to Straelen with his family to play football. The sport soon made his restaurant better known, and by 1968 the first changes were already in progress. The bakery and little shop had to give way to a bigger kitchen, a skittle alley and a function room. In 1977 the entire premises were converted into a small hotel business. The skittle alley moved to the basement to make space for a larger function room. Eight hotel rooms and a second function room rounded off the reconstruction work of that period. By 1993 it was time to completely renovate the restaurant, and today a beautiful bar area and niche lounge invites guests to linger in comfort. In 1998 Willi Scholten passed the business on to his son Manfred. Now in its second generation, the hotel continues to expand: the eight rooms are meanwhile 19. Straelen was originally part of the Earldom of Irmingard von Aspel but in 1064 it was granted, together with its manor and church, by Archbishop Anno II of Cologne to Siegburg Abbey. The Abbot of Siegburg thus became the land-lord of Straelen with right of jurisdiction, a dominance which lasted until It meant not only that the Straelen people had to pay their tithes, it also saw the establishment, as early as the 13th century, of a main court, a democratic municipal administration and a stronghold which ensured the town s safety. These developments went hand in hand with the growing infl uence of the Dukes of Geldern. The Abbot of Siegburg would come to Straelen from time to time to receive the homage of its people. He was met ceremoniously at the border of the lands near Wankum and greeted with the utmost deference by the representatives of the town and church at the town boundary near the Anna Chapel, in other words right in front of this hotel. The ceremony from the past with the Abbot of Siegburg was re-enacted at the 1964 festivities marking nine centuries of the town s history ( ). The Municipal Archivist And so the little pub has developed into a good-going business with a staff of almost 20, all happy to look after our guests. The outstanding home-style and international cooking with special regional and seasonal weeks has certainly been no small factor in making the Gasthof Zum Siegburger known and popular well beyond the town s boundaries. And its comfortable rooms offer an ideal base for exploring the Lower Rhine and the Straelen region by bike. The house with the personal atmosphere
