Wienerwald is an iconic European restaurant chain originally founded in 1955 by Friedrich Jahn in Munich, Germany. Known primarily for its rotisserie chicken and traditional Austrian-German cuisine, the brand quickly expanded to become one of the largest restaurant chains in Europe during the mid-20th century. Over the decades, the brand underwent several ownership transitions following the original founder's bankruptcy in the 1980s.

Currently, the brand is owned by the Feinkost Käfer group and the Thurn und Taxis families via various holding structures, with the international rights and the primary operating entities based in Germany. The manufacturing of their products and delivery of services occur through local sourcing in the countries where they operate, adhering to specific regional quality standards. Today, Wienerwald remains a staple for traditional rotisserie-style meals across Germany, Austria, and selected international franchise locations.
