Lougheed Hotel awarded World Schnitzel Record

On Tuesday, Oct. 15, Michael and Silke Hentschel of the Lougheed Hotel, Haus Falkenstein, received some excellent news.

The World Record Academy has accepted their documentation and awarded them the world record for the largest variety of fresh, pan-fried schnitzel on the menu, with 347 in all.

This new record breaks the old Guinness record of 180 Schnitzel varieties.

Hentschels say, “This is a really big day for us, and for Lougheed, too!”

Michael is especially excited about the designation “fresh, pan-fried Schnitzel” because he found out recently that the Guinness record-holder uses pre-made deep-fried Schnitzel, something he feels also sets Haus Falkenstein apart.

Hentschel says that Guinness has contacted him Oct. 16, and has apologized for their delay. They have promised him a decision on their record by next week.
