The family tradition goes back far before the construction of the two castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau: The ancestors of the family have been living in the Alpseestraße in Hohenschwangau since 1805, with their farm and even the ruin of the old castle Hohenschwangau once belonged to the property of the family before they sold it to Maximilian in Munich to build a new stable with the proceeds. King Ludwig II's father built a castle in place of the ruins and the family could enjoy their summer retreat in Hohenschwangau: King Ludwig II recognized this special place and years later built his castle Neuschwanstein opposite which brought the region fame all over the world:

The descendants and parents built an inn instead of the farmhouse, which was taken over by Annette Schönauer-Wacker in 1996 and expanded into a hotel with restaurant. To this day, she and her husband Ludwig Wacker run the Alpenstuben Hotel Restaurant, the gift boutique in the hotel and the neighboring Ludwigs Stüberl. In 2009, the Schönauer-Wacker couple acquired the property at Colomanstraße 12 with its residential building from 1899.

After 3 years of renting the house as a vacation home, the beautiful location was recognized and the idea to create a 4 star boutique hotel there was born. The hotel was newly built in 2012 and has succeeded in creating a new oasis for guests that combines history, culture and nature.

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill of the foothills of the Alps in the very south of Germany. It is located in the Swabia region of Bavaria, in the municipality of Schwangau, above the incorporated village of Hohenschwangau, which is also the location of Hohenschwangau Castle. The closest larger city is Füssen. The castle stands above the narrow gorge of the Pöllat [de] stream, east of the Alpsee and Schwansee lakes, close to the mouth of the Lech into Forggensee.

Despite the main residence of the Bavarian monarchs at the time—the Munich Residenz—being one of the most extensive palace complexes in the world, King Ludwig II of Bavaria felt the need to escape from the constraints he saw himself exposed to in Munich, and commissioned Neuschwanstein Palace on the remote northern edges of the Alps as a retreat but also in honour of composer Richard Wagner, whom he greatly admired.

Ludwig chose to pay for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing rather than Bavarian public funds. Construction began in 1869 but was never completed. The castle was intended to serve as a private residence for the king but he died in 1886, and it was opened to the public shortly after his death.[1] Since then, more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle.[2] More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer.[3]

The Hotel Müller is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Germany, close to the Austrian border at the end of the Romantic Road. It lies between the Bavarian royal castles of Neuschwanstein (King Ludwig's castle) and Hohenschwangau.

In the nearby town of Schwangau, the roots of the Müller family stretch back to 1690. In the early 19th century, the family moved to Hohenschwangau, exactly where the hotel is located today. The Mullers were originally farmers.

Their most important source of income was transport of all kinds with horse-drawn carriages: goods from/to Hohenschwangau, guests from/to the train station in Füssen, building materials for Neuschwanstein Castle. Last but not least, they also picked up and dropped off guests from/to Innsbruck in Austria, a very long journey in those days. The Müller family ran the haulage company until the introduction of public post buses at the beginning of the 20th century.
