"Markus, the eldest, made a living as a waiter in an inn owned by Sigmund Groag in Vítkovice until he struck out on his own and took on the lease of a pub in Pustá Polom, which he ran from 1885 to 1896. He and his first wife Hermina Herlingerová (1866-1903), had four children. Their first child Gisela died in infancy but they went on to have another three children: Olga (1887-1943) and in 1889 the twins Alfred and Elfriede. In 1896 Markus got the chance to rent the old Moravská Ostrava tavern from the Kremer family. In the same year the owner died and Markus bought the house from the heirs. The house had several rental apartments as well as the established pub. As soon as Markus acquired the building he embarked on conversion of the tavern interior so that food could be served as well as drink. In the Czech Lands it was already far from easy to comply with the myriad hygiene regulations and so the renovations not only took longer than expected, but were much more expensive - an experience that is still not unusual today. In his application for permission to serve hot food, Markus stated that his business was intended above all for workers and that the largest numbers of customers came on Sundays and paydays. He was therefore putting in his application for reasons ‘of health and hygiene, because drinking cold beer on an empty stomach is damaging and, what is more, hungry customers become drunk faster and drink more, and this leads to various disturbances.’ 9 In the end he succeeded and at the end of 1897 he opened the renovated pub restaurant complete with modern kitchen. In 1901 Markus applied for permission to serve hot drinks, tea and coffee and with it rum, brandy and fine liquors, as well as approval for billiards. In 1899 he launched a cabaret show there, with a compere, and to judge by the complaints of the owners of surrounding properties about loud singing spilling out into the streets late at night, it must have been very popular. Another reason why Haberfeld’s restaurant was famous was that he employed female waiting staff, which was quite daring at the time. In 1903 Markus’s wife died in Vienna while having medical treatment and in 1905 Markus asked the local district office for permission to lease his restaurant to his younger brother Rudolf on the grounds of his own ill health."
