History
The Schwarzwaldstube was established in 1977, with Wolfgang Staudenmaier as the head chef and Heiner Finkbeiner as the restaurant manager.[5] Shortly after its opening, the Schwarzwaldstube earned two Michelin stars.[6]
In 1980, Harald Wohlfahrt became the head chef. The restaurant was awarded three Michelin stars for the first time in the Michelin Guide1993.[7]
In 2017, Torsten Michel succeeded Harald Wohlfahrt[8] as head chef and maintained the three-star rating.[3]
In January 2020, a fire destroyed the original building of the Schwarzwaldstube, necessitating its demolition.[9][10][11][12] The restaurant reopened in a temporary location named "Temporaire" at the end of May 2021. The original site was rebuilt, and on 8 April 2022, the Schwarzwaldstube reopened in its newly constructed premises.[13] In 2022, the restaurant was again awarded three Michelin stars.[3]
