SCANDAL in the Hirsch: Star chef Oettinger returns – that’s what’s behind it!
SHOCKING TWISTS in the world of fine dining! The celebrated star chef Michael Oettinger is back in the hotly contested Restaurant Hirsch in Fellbach-Schmiden! After the turbulent end of the collaboration with the previous chef Kay Lurz, who left the restaurant in April 2025 due to catastrophic chemistry with the team, Oettinger, who has enjoyed the Michelin star honor with his traditional house since 2016, is back at the stove! Stuttgart News reports that the 44-year-old father of three had originally planned to favor his star and move away from the public eye to enjoy more quality time. But fate wanted it differently!
Amid these dramatic developments, Restaurant Hirsch remains a shining jewel in the Michelin cosmos, whose star shines brightly despite the turbulent personnel changes. Les Etoiles notes that Oettinger's culinary art has been causing a sensation at the Hotel Hirsch for an incredible 18 years and has seduced the Windsors of gourmets into storms of enthusiasm!
A single star - a whole city behind him!
Fellbach, the town that was once known for its exceptional gastronomy with a total of four Michelin stars, now stands menacingly in the shadows. After the closure of the top-class restaurants Goldberg and Avui, Oettinger's gourmet temple remains as the ONLY star-awarded restaurant in the region! An unheard of loss for the Auguste of the palate! Restaurant rankings shows that only 341 restaurants in Germany have the prestigious star!
Things are getting exciting in this tense gastronomy landscape. Will Oettinger be able to continue his line of success? Is the Michelin star actually secured for Hirsch, despite these dramatic returns? These questions haunt the minds of the gourmets and drink-loving connoisseurs lurking around!
The menu – flights of fancy for the palate
The Restaurant Hirsch not only impresses with its star-rated cuisine, but also with a menu that promises a culinary fireworks display using the finest ingredients! The varied menu offers both Oettinger's classics such as the tempting sautéed sweetbreads as well as exciting new interpretations and modern influences - a promising composition for all taste lovers!

- Für Feinschmecker gibt es sogar ein Signature Menü „Über den Kesselrand“ – eine kulinarische Reise durch 4 bis 8 Gänge!
