The Hiltl gastro chain is currently celebrating its 125th anniversary. The owner advertises Rolf Hiltl with the message of being the oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world, based on research by the Guinness World Records organization. Only: Only a few months ago, the company’s heirs admitted openly that they had already been criticized for this, since vegetarian restaurants, for example, naturally have a much longer tradition in India. When asked, a spokesman said that it was of course not the first, but the oldest still existing restaurant. And this semantic interpretation is called privileged white PR.
