A Bay Area German bar ended up forever tied to the most infamous iPhone security breach in Apple’s 47-year history.
On Thursday, March 18, 2010, a drunk Apple software engineer named Gray Powell left an iPhone 4 prototype on a barstool inside Redwood City’s Gourmet Haus Staudt beer hall — a seemingly innocuous act that would eventually result in a $5,000 cash purchase of stolen property, a police raid and accusations of extortion fromIt also set off a media frenzy outside Volker Staudt’s German beer hall, a mere 20 miles from Apple’s Infinite Loop headquarters.

Volker’s parents, Lothar and Lucie Staudt, opened Gourmet Haus Staudt in 1974 as Flower Haus Staudt. The Staudts moved from Germany to America when Volker was a 1-year-old, and they sold flowers locally until a Safeway opened a block away in the early ’80s. That forced them to abandon flowers and pivot to German specialty goods — think concrete deers, plastic dwarves and various Deutschland sundries — which the Staudts still sell today at 2615 Broadway.
“Literally, people were sitting on saw horses before I was even done,” said Volker, whose handiwork turned into what might be the Bay Area’s most authentic German beer hall. “Then the thing started getting popular because right in the beginning, that guy left his prototype iPhone.”
