Silver cutlery of Heinrich Rutt's hotel

After giving up his job as a stationmaster, Heinrich Rutt became a very successful restaurateur and hotelier. Among other things, he ran the “Bürgerheim Heinrich Rutt” inn in Kaldenkirchen and later the “Kaiserhof” hotel in Rheydt.

He promoted this establishment at an international exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London in 1907 and was awarded a medal by the organizers for his presentation.

All cutlery items are engraved with H. Rutt, and the tray bears his full name.
