MILWAUKEE, WI — After 113 years of business, Milwaukee's iconic Karl Ratzsch restaurant has closed - less than a year after it was famously re-opened.

According to a report in the Journal Sentinel this Sunday, the restaurant has "served its last Schnitzel and raised its last beer."

"It was my greatest hope that I could take this restaurant into the future and take it to a new generation, without it being lost," Hauck said in a news release reported in the Journal Sentinel. "Unfortunately due to many factors, I am no longer able to sustain keeping Karl Ratzsch open."
