Family Zangerl
The place of beginnings
A place of love: The Zangerl family and their children, Ignaz and Eugen, looked after Wippas Hoamatl and its possessions. Heinrich Zangerl’s youngest child Franz Xaver Zangerl later became father to a son, Eugen Zangerl. His marriage to Maria Anna Walser on 15 May 1933 was the start of a heartfelt union. It didn’t take long for the Wippas brothers to recognise the economic importance of the emerging tourism. The brothers always worked hard together as mountain guides, ski instructors, tax drivers and mountain inn landlords.
Franz Zangerl’s personality traits always included curiosity and sociability and made him into a prominent resident of Ischgl. Barely had someone arrived in the village and they were captivated by charismatic Franz.
Whether it was to find out the latest stories or simply to make contacts. Dressed in just his socks, nothing stopped him from socialising

1926 - Start of the origin
The sun rises
The beginnings of today’s Top Hotel Sonne were established for the first time in 1926. The former landlord Aloys had the Gasthof Sonne (picture 1 and 2) converted and expanded – a spectacle that even the newspapers reported on.
Eugen and Agnes Zangerl were very interested in purchasing the restaurant,
until they could finally call it their own in 1970.
