Ratzsch's Restaurant began in 1904 when Chef Otto Hermann opened "Hermann's Cafe" in downtown Milwaukee. A few years later his stepdaughter, Helen, came from Germany to live and work in the cafe. Prior to WWI, KarlAugust Ratzsch Sr. was on tour in the United States and due to the outbreak of war, stayed, settled in Milwaukee and began working with Helen. After a ten-year courtship, Helen and Karl were married and they purchased the cafe, relocated it to the present location and changed the name to "Karl Ratzsch's"
In February of 2003, Josef sold Ratzsch's to the management team that has been in place since 1985. The restaurant's Dining Room Manager: Judy Hazard, Executive Chef: John Poulos and Restaurant Manager: Tom Andera, have over 85 years combined experience in the industry. They continue to uphold the Ratzsch Family tradition first begun in 1904. Together with our staff we look forward to serving you into the new millennium.
