The history of the Tafernwirtschaft zur Post in Pöcking begins a good three centuries before ours and has been meticulously archived, written down and documented with numerous documents by our grandfather Leonard Poelt.
Our name Poelt...
…also Pölt, Böld, derives from Hippolytus, a martyr as a Roman soldier of Greek tongue.

1784
He married Maria Schröfl, the daughter of the Huppenberger in Pöcking, and acquired the “Brodführersölde”. The “Wirtschaft zur Post” (inn) diagonally opposite had fallen into disrepair over several generations due to mismanagement, so Josef Pölt acquired the property in 1893. The fact that he only had to pay 27% of the purchase price in cash indicates the macabre situation. Sale of the Brodführersolden in 1802.
1872
His only son and heir was Leonhard Poelt, born in 1826, who married the landlord’s daughter Viktoria Obermeier von Forstenried. His son and heir was Maximilian Pölt. The innkeeper, who had been in good health since 1860, met up with colleagues on the other shore in Leoni in the winter of 1872, riding a small sledge across the frozen lake. On the way back, he collapsed near the shore in Passenhofen and drowned. His body was recovered, his wife heavily pregnant with twins could not just carry on alone.

Their youngest son and heir was Leonhard Poelt in 1963
…who married Maria Großmann, innkeeper’s daughter from Münsing on Lake Starnberg, and who has lovingly and meticulously documented the history of the Pölts, the Tafernwirtschaft and the village of Pöcking to this day.
