Der Rheinlander, the 53-year-old Northeast Portland German restaurant, will close early next year, the restaurant confirmed.

Guten Foods, which owns the Rose City Park restaurant as well as German restaurant chain Gustav's, sold Der Rheinlander's distinctive Northeast Sandy Boulevard building to Venerable Properties, the company responsible for redeveloping Washington High School into Revolution Hall, among other projects.

The restaurant will stay open until early 2017. After the closure, employees will be offered new jobs at Gustav's in Portland, Tigard, Clackamas, Vancouver, Keizer and a still-in-development Cedar Hills Crossing location planned for late next year.

Well now where in the fuck am I supposed to stand in line on Father's Day?

A lot of great family memories went down at the Rheinlander. Did notice the last time I was there, a couple years ago, that it seemed to lack its former persona, as the wait staff and décor seemed a bit tired. The food was still good though!

Sure hope someone in NW Oregon or SW Washington picks up where they left off and gives us a German food experience to remember.
