From the Harz Mountains to the Thuringian Forest Hotel “Brauhaus zum Löwen” 99974 Mühlhausen Tel.: +49 (0) 36 01 4 71-0 Felchtaer Straße 2–4 Fax: +49 (0) 36 01 4 71-2 22 Email: info@brauhaus-zum-loewen.de www.brauhaus-zum-loewen.de Hotel “Brauhaus zum Löwen” is located at Kornmarkt 3 at the very heart of the old town, and is today the only remaining brewery in the district of Unstrut- Hainich. Built in the second half of the sixteenth century, the main hotel build- ing was destroyed in a fire that ravaged the Kornmarkt in the year 1707. It was subsequently rebuilt to its present state between 1707 and 1713, and served as an apothecary in the almost 200 years that followed. The present-day “Brauhaus zum Löwen” (“Lion Brewery”) owes its name to the “Löwen-Apotheke” (“Lion Apothecary”) housed here in the 20th century. Following German reunification in 1989, the building stood empty for a time. At least once a week, it is possible to watch the brewmaster preparing the brew. Both lager (Reichsstädtische Pilsener) and dark ale (Apotheker Dunkel) are brewed here in the traditional style – naturally strictly in accordance with the German Beer Purity Law of 1516. The seasonal smoked beer (Rauchbier) and strong dark beer (Weihnachtsbock) also should not go unmentioned. Around 350 kg malt are needed per brew, hence a crane and a great deal of muscle powerare used to transfer the malt to the main building’s loft several times a year where it is then processed into roasted, sour, Pilsener, Munich, or smoked malt. Over time, the little “Brauhaus zum Löwen” in Mühlhausen has developed into a hotel brewery with seating for 500 that also features a charming beer gar- den (open April-October) affording views over the church on the Kornmarkt. The hotel comprises a total of 81 tasteful rooms, 3 meeting rooms, a car park, and underground garage. 10

The lovingly restored mill house is divided into four separate rooms and two landscaped terraces. The hotel integrated into this space just a few years ago affords a total of 14 rooms. Each of our rooms provides the perfect unique accommodation for an unforget- table stay. Centrally-located in the Darmstadt-Offenbach-Frankfurt triangle, the “Alte Bergmühle” is the ideal setting for all kinds of events. In 950 AD, Emperor Otto I designated the area around Dreieich a hunting ground. The first imperial bailiff, Eberhard von Hagen, managed the game and timber-rich forests with his team of 36 gamekeepers. A number of mills were built along Hengstbach stream, including the Bergmühle, which was first men- tioned in official records in 1422. The mill succumbed to fire during the Thirty Years’ War, but was subsequently rebuilt. The Bergmühle, which is verifiably the oldest residence of the Holzmann family (1675), came to the family through marriage. One of the descendants was Philipp Holzmann. Born in 1805 he made a name for himself with the construction of railways, bridges, and tunnels. In 1969, this piece of history reminding of times long past was restored, with care taken to retain original building ele- ments. Thus more than 20 generations since its construction, the “Alte Berg- mühle” today once again serves guests, who can look forward to first- rate hospitality in traditional sur- rounds. 18

From the River Neckar to the Black Forest and Lake Constance Gasthof zum Bären 88709 Meersburg Tel.: +49 (0) 75 32 4 32 20 Marktplatz 11 Fax: +49 (0) 75 32 43 22 44 Email: post@baeren-meersburg.de www.baeren-meersburg.de The Gasthof zum Bären is the oldest hotel in Meersburg; indeed, based on excavation finds, it is believed to date from 1250 AD. The year 1605 is engraved in the camber above the Renaissance gateway featuring five angels’ heads. It was in this year that the guest house was extended to its present-day size. A further building was added beside the city gate some 75 years later, in 1680. When the Thurn-und-Taxis Post established a postal service between Lindau and Constance in Sep- tember 1688, the Bären became a stagecoach stop, heralding the start of a heyday for the guest house. In the 200 years that followed, the Bären played host to stagecoach travellers. Today the building that served as stables is used as a garage. It was only in 1960 that the hotel was again extended: the half- timbered building dating from 1590 and renovated in 1756 was pur- chased and joined with the Bären. Room 27 featuring an original wood- en cassette ceiling is of particular interest to fans of half-timbered buildings. The Bären was purchased by the final postmaster, Engelbert Keller, in 1851, and has been owned by the Keller-Karrer-Gilowsky family ever since. Today a total of 20 rooms are available to our guests, all of which come with a shower, WC, telephone, Wi-Fi, and flat- screen TV. We look forward to your visit!
