For many locals, the Airbräu hostess, Barbara Deimel, is a familiar face—having built a strong reputation in the hospitality industry far beyond Oberding. With over 30 years of experience as a chef, restaurant owner, and caterer, she brings a wealth of expertise and passion to her role.
What matters most to her as a hostess is creating a welcoming atmosphere, building a strong team, and ensuring guests and staff feel valued.
September 9, 1999, marked not only the beginning of a new chapter for many newlyweds but also the official launch of Airbräu.
One of the key tasks for the managing duo at the time, Dr. Joost and Mr. Halamoda, was to create something that would attract passengers, airport employees, and visitors from the surrounding area. It’s clear that their concept was a success—today, Airbräu remains a popular meeting place for everyone.
A true highlight is still the world's first airport brewery, which brews its beer strictly according to the German Purity Law of 1516. In addition, the many events at Airbräu continue to delight guests.
Since its opening, Airbräu’s philosophy has remained unchanged—strong ties to Bavarian brewing and cuisine, the best entertainment from the region, and a unique atmosphere at Munich Airport.
Its guests are just as diverse as the brewery itself—open-minded, spanning all ages, and coming from all around the world.
This has been officially recognized by the Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture, and Forestry as well as the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga Bayern).
From product quality and service to ambiance and behind-the-scenes operations—we excelled in all categories. Now, we can proudly say that Airbräu offers outstanding Bavarian cuisine at an exceptional level.
Our head chef, Harald Schreib, and restaurant director, Joost von Nagell, have received the official award plaque and look forward to welcoming many guests eager to experience our award-winning cuisine firsthand.
