On 2 October, the gala celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Ottenbacher family took place at the Adler Asperg. 

A total of 100 guests joined in the celebration. They were welcomed with champagne, canapés and live music from 16:00. Before dinner, it was time for the photo session with Christian and Dr. Dory Ottenbacher, who greeted each guest personally. 

Below the guests were Dietmar Allgaier, District Administrator of Ludwigsburg County, and Christian Eiberger, the Mayor of Asperg. Both gentlemen paid tribute to the success of the family and the Adler in their speeches. 

Shortly afterwards, things got emotional: Christian Ottenbacher presented and thanked the staff of the Adler Asperg who had worked so hard for the gala. He also remembered the employees who had worked the longest at the company with each generation of Adler hosts. He named Josa Potalivo who has been with us for 40 years, Marco Hünicke who has been part of the team for 33 years and Christian Heller who has been with the company for 25 years. 

Then it was time for dinner, which consisted of six courses. Each dish was presented by Christian Heller, the hotel manager of the Adler. The dishes were served with matching wines. A magician showed the guests his tricks during the banquet. 

At 10:30 pm, the gastronomic part came to an end and the disco began. A DJ invited the guests to dance until 4 am. The guests were bid farewell with a gift.
