Recovery from World War II was slow. Even successful periods in the 60s and 70s did not completely make up for lost time. And today, sixty years later, this can still be felt. The Hauser family was well known for one thing in particular: their commitment to work. They worked morning, noon and night, day in day out, without a break, and prayed that the Belvedere would survive even in difficult times.

Fritz Hauser gained experience at the famous Grosvenor house in London where he worked during the World War II. A large loyal clientele was acquired thanks to the warm hospitality of Elsi Hauser.
