After the conversion of the brewery inn in 1963, Kreszenz managed the inn and hotel. Under her management, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star. Kreszenz was a “Bavarian lady” who was held in high esteem by her guests. Until her passing, shortly after her 90th birthday, she never missed the opportunity to greet her regular guests in person every day.
Maria
Maria Zehentmair, born Liebhard, was born in 1879 in today's manor house as the eldest daughter of Johann and Maria Liebhard. As the family was left without a male heir, she was brought up to be a farm heiress at the age of 15. After her marriage to August Zehentmair, they ran the Ayinger estate together. In 1904, Aying was connected to the railroad network and Maria took over the post office and the first telephone in Aying. At this time, the manor house was still a tavern with a restaurant, adjoining room and a hall on the second floor. In 1921, Maria and her husband decided to rebuild the brewery inn on the opposite side of the street, thus laying the foundation for the Brauereigasthof Hotel Aying in its current size.

In 1844 Peter married Ursula Hörndl from “Pullinger” in Auhofen. They had eleven children. Peter continued to expand the farmstead in Aying through clever and prudent management.
