Joseph Hummel, the first \u201cSalmen\u201d innkeeper, served an average of 115 Saum of wine in the years 1700-1705 \u2013 this corresponded to 17,000 liters, an average of 50 liters per day <\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"timeline-story__item\">\n                    <div class=\"timeline-story__content\">\n                                                                            <h3 class=\"timeline-story__year\">18th century<\/h3>\n                                                                            <p class=\"timeline-story__history\">After further changes of ownership, it can be assumed that the \u201cZum Salmen\u201d restaurant was closed at the end of the 18th century.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"timeline-story__item\">\n                    <div class=\"timeline-story__content\">\n                                                                            <h3 class=\"timeline-story__year\">1864<\/h3>\n                                                                            <p class=\"timeline-story__history\">In 1864, brewer Karl Hoch founded a brewery restaurant with its own brewery in the former \u201cSalmen\u201d and named it \u201cZum Storchen\u201d because there was a stork&#039;s nest on the roof ridge at that time.\r\nSeveral brewers acquired the \u201cStorchen\u201d in the following years, including August Mutschler, who had his \u201cMutschler Bier\u201d served there by various tapsters (tenants). Mutschler had a hand-forged inn sign with the stork as a symbol hung above the inn door \u2013 however, this was not to survive the impending turmoil of war. <\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"timeline-story__item\">\n                    <div class=\"timeline-story__content\">\n                                                                            <h3 class=\"timeline-story__year\">1981<\/h3>\n                                                                            <p class=\"timeline-story__history\">The inn remained in the hands of several \u201cMutschler generations\u201d until it was acquired by Wilfried Oschwald in 1981. He converted the \u201cStorchen\u201d into a music and scene pub \u2013 many Waldkirch residents still revel in the memories of this \u201cwild time\u201d. <\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"timeline-story__item\">\n                    <div class=\"timeline-story__content\">\n                                                                            <h3 class=\"timeline-story__year\">End of 1990<\/h3>\n                                                                            <p class=\"timeline-story__history\">After being operated by various tenants, Wilfried Oschwald had the \u201cStorchen\u201d rebuilt at the end of the 90s \u2013 the entire structure was demolished except for the outer facade and rebuilt \u2013 it is thanks to his prudence and his historically conscious actions that the historical appearance of the \u201cStorchen\u201d has been preserved. Usable components such as ceiling beams were restored from the demolition material and integrated into the new building as historical substance. After a long search, the inn sign, which had been lost in the war, was also reconstructed and reattached.  <\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"timeline-story__item\">\n                    <div class=\"timeline-story__content\">\n                                                                            <h3 class=\"timeline-story__year\">2013 &#8211; 2014<\/h3>\n                                                                            <p class=\"timeline-story__history\">In 2013, the large extension of a hotel wing with 22 new rooms, conference rooms and a wellness area began.\r\nOn September 13, 2013, Christoph Trienen reopened the Restaurant I Hotel \u201cZum Storchen\u201d as the operator.
