A sense of optimism and new beginnings prevails in large parts of Europe.<\/strong> It is the Belle \u00c9poque era; prosperity is increasing and ever-wider segments of the population can afford to travel. Magnificent hotels are being built in Pontresina, which still shape the village&#039;s appearance today.<\/p><p>Visionary thinking is also taking place in the upper village. Claudio Saratz, who runs the rather tranquil Hotel Steinbock, is about to build a large hotel next door. Seven stories high, with pointed towers and many arches, typical of Art Nouveau. A small grand hotel, which will confidently be called Hotel Palace.<\/p><p>At the same time, Fritz Kochend\u00f6rfer, an immigrant baker from W\u00fcrttemberg, acquires a plot of land opposite. He plans to build a large bakery here; after all, guests need not only warm beds and beautiful parlors, but also good bread and fine pastries. However, Saratz does not approve of a bakery in the immediate vicinity. He has concerns about the smoke emissions that such a large oven would produce at that time and tries to prevent its construction.<\/p><p><strong>Smoke or the sound of bells?<\/strong> <br \/>A dispute ensued, involving a lively exchange of letters, which is documented in the hotel archives. Finally, the two parties reached an agreement. Kochend\u00f6rfer had a compelling argument: otherwise, he would sell his property to the Catholic parish. The staunchly Reformed Saratz preferred a bit of smoke in the air to the sound of Catholic bells ringing outside his door. For the resulting loss of time, the shrewd businessman Fritz Kochend\u00f6rfer demanded an exclusive bread delivery contract for the next ten years. In return, he would raise the chimneys by two meters and fire his oven with coke, which would produce less smoke.<\/p><h3>The shared family history begins in 1945.<\/h3><p>The Hotel Palace was completed in 1907, and a year later the Kochend\u00f6rfer bakery was also finished. Several good business years followed until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. In the same year, Saratz died after a serious illness, and his hotels were transferred to the ownership of the Graub\u00fcnden Cantonal Bank. Fritz Kochend\u00f6rfer was also in poor health and died in 1927 at the age of only 56. His son Oscar then took over responsibility for the bakery, which had since been expanded to include an inn.<\/p><p><strong>Good neighbours and best friends<\/strong> <br \/>Times only improved with the end of World War II. In June 1945, the cantonal bank appointed Hans and Mary Walther as the directors of the Palace and Steinbock hotels. Later, they were able to acquire first the Steinbock (1948) and finally the Palace (1957). The latter subsequently became the Walther Palace and finally the Hotel Walther, as we know it today. Oscar Kochend\u00f6rfer and his wife F\u00e9licie warmly welcomed their new neighbors, and a close friendship began between the Walther and Kochend\u00f6rfer families, which continues to this day. Hans and Oscar often played curling together; as hoteliers, they jointly championed tourism and, for example, promoted the construction of the Diavolezza cable car.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7c0171 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d7c0171\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26786\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.albris.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/albris_zeitung_zwei-familien_geschichte-770x513.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83c2d16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"83c2d16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><strong>19.

They skied together, climbed mountains, and traveled together; they were active in the shooting club, the spa association, and many other things. They also attended hotel management school in Lausanne at the same time, with the goal of one day managing their parents&#039; businesses. In 1963, Christian and his wife Barbara took over the Walther and Steinbock hotels. Oscar Jr. and his wife Agnese have run the Hotel Albris and the Kochend\u00f6rfer bakery since 1973. Barbara and Agnese are also close friends and still play bridge together regularly.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The three hotels continue to develop well. Even though the businesses have very different focuses, the Walthers and Kochend\u00f6rfers follow the same philosophy: They take good care of their employees and regular guests, continuously reinvest in their properties, and are committed to tourism and the hotel industry in the valley.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">In 1975, the hotels Walther and Steinbock, as well as Albris and Bernina, built the staff accommodation Chesa Allegria. The name Allegria (= joy) was not chosen by chance. Joy is intended to prevail in the building and thus be transferred to the hotel guests. Another joint construction project followed in 2013: a parking garage with 130 parking spaces.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong>Closely connected to this day<\/strong> <br \/>Thomas Walther illustrates the friendly and uncomplicated relationship between the hotels with an anecdote: \u00abThe Chesa Allegria is divided into condominium units. Yet in all these years we have never held an official meeting, quite simply because we never have anything difficult to discuss. Sometimes, when we are sitting over an after-work beer, we joke that we could hold a meeting now and then immediately move on to other topics and toast each other.\u00bb<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Thomas is the youngest son of Christian Walther. Together with his wife Anne, he has been running the two hotels since 1997. Regarding his friendship with Stephanie and her brother Claudio Kochend\u00f6rfer, who have been managing the Hotel Albris since 2001, he says: &quot;I appreciate their honesty and openness, and also the shrewd business sense that has distinguished the Kochend\u00f6rfer men across all generations.&quot;\u00ab<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The close relationship between the Walthers and Kochend\u00f6rfers is evident not least in their godparent relationships: Christian Walther was the godfather of Stephanie Kochend\u00f6rfer, Oscar Kochend\u00f6rfer Jr. was the godfather of Martina Walther, and Thomas Walther is the godfather of Ellen Kochend\u00f6rfer, Claudio&#039;s eldest daughter. A special connection also exists through Annina Walther: the youngest daughter of Thomas and Anne Rose works as a pastry chef at the Hotel Albris.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e02646 elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"0e02646\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;arrows&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInLeft\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-8f35f97 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg elementor-ken-burns elementor-ken-burns--in\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"albris_zeitung_album_thomaswalther-4\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-f1bf721 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg elementor-ken-burns elementor-ken-burns--in\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"albris_zeitung_album_thomaswalther-3\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-f89da1c swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg elementor-ken-burns elementor-ken-burns--in\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"albris_zeitung_album_thomaswalther-2\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f88a3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f88a3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><strong>On Piz Pal\u00fc<\/strong> <br \/>Christian and Oscar went through thick and thin together \u2013 and up high mountains .
