Claim
A year later the "Vegetarierheim and abstinence Café" opened at its present location at Sihlstrasse in Zurich.
Correction

Hiltl’s own history says the "Vegetarierheim" opened in 1898, not a year after 1898.

Full reasoning

This sentence conflicts with Hiltl’s official history.

Hiltl’s own history page says Ambrosius and Martha later took over “the restaurant, which was founded in 1898.” Its official saga PDF is even more explicit: “In 1898 the ‘Vegetarierheim and Abstinence-Café’ opened in Zurich.” The company’s milestone timeline likewise lists “1898 Opening of the ‘Vegetarian Home and Abstinence Café’.”

So the article’s wording that the restaurant opened “a year later” is incorrect: according to Hiltl’s primary-source history, the restaurant itself opened in 1898.

Claim
Two others in the same city, which opened later, are the Hiltl Sihlpost at Europaallee (Kasernenstrasse, next to Main Railway Station) and the Hiltl Dachterrasse (lit. 'Hiltl roof top terrasse') in Beatengasse (near Bahnhofstrasse).
Correction

Hiltl’s official locations page lists more than two later Zurich locations, so this "Two others" statement is outdated.

Full reasoning

Hiltl’s official Locations Overview no longer supports the claim that there are only two other Hiltl locations in Zurich besides Haus Hiltl.

On the company’s own locations page, Hiltl lists:

  • Haus Hiltl
  • Martha’s Courtyard
  • Hiltl Dachterrasse
  • Hiltl Sihlpost
  • Hiltl am Strand

The page also lists Hiltl Academy, though that is not a restaurant. Even if you exclude the Academy, the official site still shows more than two Zurich dining locations beyond Haus Hiltl. That makes the article’s wording outdated/incomplete.

Claim
In 1907 he bought the property with his family and became a citizen of Switzerland.
Correction

Hiltl’s official saga says Ambrosius bought the building in 1907, but the family’s Zurich citizenship came in 1909, not 1907.

Full reasoning

This sentence appears to merge two different dates from Hiltl’s official history.

Hiltl’s own saga says “In 1907 Ambrosius Hiltl bought the building at 28 Sihlstrasse.” The same source then states: “In 1909, the Hiltl family was granted citizenship of Zurich.” Another official Hiltl source repeats the same sequence in German: “1907 kaufte Ambrosius Hiltl die Liegenschaft … 1909 erhielt die Familie Hiltl das Bürgerrecht von Zürich.”

So while the property purchase is correctly dated to 1907, the citizenship part is not: Hiltl’s official history places that in 1909.

Claim
They sought the expertise of Hiltl and collaborated with Hiltl to start Tibits, a vegetarian restaurant now operating in Basel, Bern, Zurich, Winterthur, Lausanne, Lucerne and London.
Correction

Tibits’ official site says it now has 11 Swiss restaurants plus one in Darmstadt, Germany; London is not a current location.

Full reasoning

This sentence is outdated in two ways.

First, tibits’ official About us page says: “Today there are eleven tibits restaurants in Switzerland and one in Darmstadt, Germany.” That is much broader than the article’s shorter city list.

Second, tibits’ official locations page lists restaurants in places such as Aarau, St. Gallen, Zug, and Darmstadt, and multiple Zurich-area branches, but it does not list any London restaurant as a current location.

So the claim that tibits is now operating in the listed cities including London is no longer accurate.
