Between 1936 and 1941, most of the guests at Wiesenhof were Germans, including the daughter of the famous physicist Max Planck. After the war, the majority of tourists came from Italy, France and Switzerland, and it was not until 1951 that German guests again found their way to Pertisau, which by then had become known as a climatic health resort. In 1956, a devastating storm caused the price of timber to plummet and it was decided to turn the Wiesenhof into a bed and breakfast for “summer visitors”.
