Thanks Karlo to point this out. The interpretation seems to be quite mixed. I had understood it as an abbreviation for \"Ein herzliches Willkommen..\", so do about 50% of the Copernic hits I got.
e.g. http://www.pbg-nw.de/discus/messages/1/1.html
even some teachers (Schulen ans Netz e.V. <title>Schulen ans Netz e.V. - Herzlich Willkommen ! -</title>)
So I am not alone ,:-))
Checking the Duden, though, in connection with \"herzlich\", willkommen is not capitalized

: TService is correct although I don't see why one shouldn't be able to say "Willkommen in meinem Haus" I don't think it is a big deal! Even if you don't own the actually house many people still would say it is theirs.
