Johannes Kattus
Founder at Am Hof 8
Johannes Kattus is the founder of Am Hof 8, Vienna's first private members club, which opened in September 2022. He is also the CEO of Kattus Beteiligungs GmbH, a family-owned company that has been involved in the delicacies trade since the 19th century. The Kattus family has owned the historic building housing Am Hof 8 since 1857, originally operating a store that sold wine, coffee, tea, caviar, and other luxury items. This legacy influenced Kattus's vision for a modern gentlemen's club that blends historical significance with contemporary social needs.123
