every time I went back home, I did visit the Rasthause at least once. Last time I think was in the winter of 2002 or so. I met with Hans, the german skiinstructor and we had a few Weissbiers. But not in the bar, but outside where the fireplace used to be. The Rasthaus had changed so much from the time I first worked there and it made me  kind of sad. The bar had no longer the big round table  (with the extension  planks Sumner used once in the winter riot of 1978  - might have  been 79 and the German police was called in and sprayed everybody with teargas )but a small dancing stage where the round table used to be, and the rest was decorated in a nautical theme - shame on the interior designer. And they took out the big staircase,my favorite in the front where the tours office used to be. Iwonder what happened with all the big paintings in the dining room?

I wasn't part of the Chiemsee staff very long, April 2003-until a couple weeks after it's closing. I was transfered from Garmisch, unwillingly, but I was quickly accepted to the family. There is a special place in my heart for that place, that time that was shared. I have since gone back to the states, along with most everyone else, and continued doing what I did best. I was never a very good waiter, but somehow I enjoyed working in the dining room with people like Butters, Tim and Riz. It was like some sort of crazy spin-off of Cheers when we saw Adam, Fritz and Franz pulling beers and making drinks for us every night. I keep hoping someone has a 2nd chance for the Rasthaus and they reopen it as an AFRC facility. The place was special, the people are special and the experience will live on with everyone that was there at some time or the other. Unique, because you can never go back. I miss it everyday. Thanks to everyone for made it what it was, an eccentric cast of charactors I was proud to be a part of. Red Snappers for everyone-PROST!

Allright now Bernau has the RASTHAUS back.
They allready had a great idea to use it.
They doing a huge 4 room partyzone in it :-(

Riesige Partyzone auf 4 Floors am
Chiemsee im Rasthaus Felden

So etwas war noch nicht da – auf 1.500 Quadratmetern Hotelfläche und einer großen Terrasse direkt am Chiemsee wird am Samstag, den 25. Juni im ehemaligen Rasthaus der Amerikaner in Felden eine gigantische Partyzone geöffnet. Bei dem seit geraumer Zeit geplanten, aber bislang geheim gehaltenen Projekt werden die besten und bekanntesten Party-Discjockeys der an- und umliegenden Landkreise mit von der Partie sein. Man darf also gespannt sein, denn das Rasthaus Felden erscheint als Location spektakulär, und seine Lage direkt an der Autobahnausfahrt Felden zwischen München und Salzburg könnte besser gar nicht sein.

Vor Ort werden die Besucher nicht enttäuscht sein:
Der Partyfloor 1 in der Hotelhalle (Kaminzimmer) bringt mit DJ Morlock (u.a. Troja, Bogaloo, usw.) und DJ KS die Partygarantie ins Haus. DJ KS (Tati's, Ballhaus & Upstairs Resident, Radio Galaxy-DJ, 4004 munich) hat die Rosenheimer Partyriege seit geraumer Zeit fest im Griff, und gilt ebenfalls als Garant für einen stimmungsgeladenen Partyabend.
Auf Partyfloor 2 im Erkerzimmer (Frühstückszimmer) liefert Zenzemilla (Panzerhalle, Poolparty Ruhpolding, Felsenkeller, Roots Club, usw.) ein Ragga- und Dancehall-Set, Unterstützung erhält er dabei von der Firedance Crew aus Reit im Winkl. Floor 3 über der Rezeption bringt Euch ND Agemoon. Er wird in Felden mit Claus MC (Viper Room, Eiskeller, Havanna Lounge) die Partygänger zum Glühen bringen.

Im gigantischen Hotelgang verwöhnt euch Mick Thammer (republic cafe Salzburg) mit chilligen Grooves á la Café del mar...

Die Chill Out Zone auf der großen Seeterrasse bringt den Sommer ins Haus.

Now i know why they've always wanted the area back.To tar it down in a way nobody is visualized at once, better bit by bit :-(

CRA was given back to germans on 28.12.2004.
No ceremony, no demonstration, nothing.
Just like "here you have it back, thank's for the fish" :-(
