Historic inns in Wandlitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the large community of Wandlitz, especially in Wandlitz , the rapid expansion of the former village into a local recreation area for Berliners at the end of the 19th century resulted in some interesting inns furnished in the style of the time. Some of these historic inns are still in operation as pubs or restaurants in the 21st century.

In the Wandlitzsee district

Seekrug in 2004, before the renovation
  • In the 19th century, there was the Alter Krug restoration at what was then the customs and stagecoach station , facing the customs house , which was demolished in 2003 , at the entrance to the village of Wandlitz from the south. When the horse-drawn carriages lost their importance due to the construction of the new Berlin-Groß-Schönebeck railway line and the big city dwellers hungry for air and light came to Wandlitz in large numbers, the owners August Klein and Bernd Sieke bought a neighboring property and built the former Alte Krug at the beginning of the 20th century Century to an excursion restaurant. An accommodation hall, coffee kitchen, stable, lodging house with hall, an open coach house, a bowling alley and guest rooms were created . The epochal excursion restaurant now had space for 2000, its own boat rental was added, and the open-air terrace offered a beautiful view of Lake Wandlitz . Because other restaurants were being built or expanded by the lake at the same time, the operators had a beach promenade laid out and guests were offered boat trips on the lake. The new facility was now called Seekrug . The German-American Petroleum Society (DAPOL) set up a petrol station right in front of the inn around 1930 because most of the day trippers were now traveling by motor vehicle. At the end of the (Nazi) National Socialist era , the Reich Minister for Armaments and War Production had office barracks built on part of the restaurant area, in which the administration of a camp for Ukrainian prisoners of war was housed.
    Due to the events and results of the Second World War , the restaurant and accommodation facility lost its guests and with it its importance. The Seekrug continued to be used during the GDR era. He received a small extension, but no money for a comprehensive reconstruction. After the political change , the restaurant went into private ownership and has now been renovated a little; So the former horse stable with the inscription "Relaxation" was exposed. However, new guests could not be won because numerous new restaurants had opened in the village. After a change of ownership around 2005, a new terrace was designed and the technical facilities brought up to date. Due to the new color scheme (orange) and the renaming to El Gaucho , the historical reference has now been completely lost.
New youth hostel buildings in 2008
  • The former guest house of the Seekrug was redesigned after 1950 to the youth hostel Lilo Hermann , which received 20 small bungalows for a capacity of 176 guests in the 1970s. In 1990 the youth hostel became the property of the German Youth Hostel Association (DJH). From around 1999 to May 17, 2002, a completely new youth hostel was built on the site, which can now accommodate up to 162 guests again.
Town hall of the large community of Wandlitz (status 2008), created through the expansion of a private hotel
  • The Hotel Rünger was a handsome building on Prenzlauer Chaussee 157, which the eponymous family had built and operated here at the beginning of the 20th century. During the Nazi era , the family was expropriated, the hotel was rebuilt and opened in 1937 as the community center and administrative center of Wandlitz. After 1945, this house served briefly as the seat of the Soviet command post and then the municipal administration. In 1991, when a new business and office building was built in the immediate vicinity, the administration renovated its office building, had it built on the courtyard side, a representative room on the upper floor received Art Nouveau-like decorations and a wrought-iron external staircase. Since then, today's office building has served as the seat of the municipal administration and also as a registry office. In 2011, work began on an extension building in front of the historic building to the north. Until its expected completion in 2013, it will have a structural transition to the old town hall at the height of the first floor.
Lakeside terraces on the high bank of the Wandlitzer See
  • In the course of the excursion boom of Berliners at the beginning of the 20th century, today's Hotel Seeterrassen was built on Lake Wandlitzer in Stolzenhagener Strasse 59 (today Thälmannstrasse 33). In 1907 Fritz Bock opened the Landhotel Seeschlößchen here on a rocky slope of the lake , which with its good location became a popular excursion destination or accommodation for business travelers. In 1940 the ground floor area was converted. In the GDR era , the private owners were expropriated and the restaurant premises were used under the name Seeterrassen , but were given up in the mid-1970s. After reunification , the property was re-privatized, and the new owners invested a lot of money in the renovation and modernization of the entire complex. The hotel, with its public restaurant, now offers 14 guest rooms and traditional German cuisine in the restaurant area .
  • In 1908, the municipality issued a license for the area of Drei Heilige Pfühle to the private man Karl Schieweg for those interested in viewing and buying the planned country house colony and for the later residents, who opened the Sunken Glocke restaurant with a house and ancillary buildings in 1912 . The memorable name is borrowed from the bell of the sunken fabulous monastery. During the GDR era, the restaurant was managed by the consumer cooperative in the district of Bernau , which transformed the property from 1969 to 1970 into a training and holiday home with accommodation barracks. The inn had survived all state and other changes in the last 100 years, was re-privatized after 1990 and offered hikers and residents again a small selection of food and drink. In addition, events that went far beyond the region took place here, such as readings of the "Literary Salon" with musical accompaniment in 2006. In 2009 an episode of the documentary soap Rach, the restaurant testers was filmed here. In the summer of 2011, the operator closed the dilapidated wooden bar, no evidence of further activities could be found.

In the area of ​​the old village center

Former Goldener Löwe inn in May 2007
  • The Golden Lion , a former inn in the village of Wandlitz, emerged from the first village inn in the center of the village. It was expanded in 1899 to include a 270 m² dance hall, which was used for numerous festivities in the 1920s and 1930s. After the Second World War the HO operated the inn, after 1990 it remained without an owner and stood empty. In 2005, the municipal administration, as the owner, had an annex on the courtyard side from GDR times removed, and in 2006 a facade renovation began. The interior of the building was then renovated under the direction of the building planner Uwe Katzer, which was completed in 2008 and cost around 700,000 euros. Since then, the former village inn , which is under monument protection , has been used as a cultural and meeting place (multi-purpose cultural center).
    The new event complex has a large hall with 199 seats, a small hall and a spacious foyer. The municipal administration found Christoph Klitta, a former guitarist in the rock band Coma.51 , to be the     operator and , as the organizer of a diverse cultural program, was well received by residents and visitors. For example, there have been guest performances of the popular Spejbl and Hurvínek puppet shows , tournament dance events, performances by Dagmar Frederic , and even the operetta Frau Luna was re-staged here in 2009. In 2011 Christoph Stern took over the cultural object and also organizes lectures, film screenings and discussions on current topics.
2004: Noch See Park Hotel
  • The inn called Seepark Hotel am Wandlitzsee in the old village center of Wandlitz (as of June 2020) at Kirchstraße 10 has a long history of transformation behind it. In the 18th century the nine- acre site was a feudal school yard, and in 1926 it was sold to the poultry farmer Ferdinand Striemer. He himself lived in the existing manor house . He turned the stables and the meadows into a poultry farm, which soon became known beyond Wandlitz, especially with its ducks. Even after the Second World War the poultry farm continued to exist until the collectivization of agriculture began in the 1950s. The Striemer family therefore leased the business to Gut Berlin-Buch in 1958 . Those responsible now ran the duck farm as a teaching and training company until it was given up in the early 1970s. Apparently the lucrative lake area has now been sold to the SED district leadership in Berlin, who had new buildings built and used the complex exclusively as a recreation home, Karl Litke - named after the SPD and later SED politician Karl Litke - for deserving party members. It was surrounded by a solid fence and was not open to the public. With the liquidation of the GDR and the conversion of the former SED to the PDS , a completely unclear ownership situation of this facility arose. Initially, private tenants were found who advertised and operated the property as a beach hotel with a wellness area and its own beach. In addition, the existing rooms were offered for tour groups or training events. After almost 15 years, the tenants were able to buy the entire complex, and they called it the SeePark Hotel (see photo from 2004), and from 2006 it was called the SeeparkKurhotel . The 52 well-equipped bedrooms and other lounges for up to 60 people were marketed as a spa and wellness hotel or as a conference venue, as were the restaurant parts for small or large family celebrations. The property , which was renamed the Seepark-Hotel am Wandlitzsee , has had new operators since 2018 .
Rialto restaurant (left) and the now demolished theater-casino building, 2004
  • At Prenzlauer Chaussee 54 at the corner of Bernauer Chaussee, private man Adolf Tietz opened a restaurant with a house in 1922. The restaurant was named Fahrradstation and was run by the Bochert family until around 1939. In 1928 the authorities approved an extension as the Kur-Theater Wandlitz (stage and gallery), which was converted into a cinema in 1937/1938 . After the Second World War , cinema screenings took place here again. Soon the building with the large arched windows that had meanwhile been bricked up was only used as a storage room. The house with the former restaurant on the street corner became the property of the Johann Gottfried family, who opened a butcher shop here in 1953 . The house was renovated from 1972 to 1974, a former laundry room was converted into a slaughterhouse and the butcher shop into a modern butcher shop with its own production. The butcher ran the facility as a commission agent for the consumer cooperative . After the reunification , son Jörg Gottfried had the building complex expanded and converted back into a restaurant. A terrace and a winter garden have been added. The restaurant was named Rialto and offers Italian cuisine. Beer has been brewed here since 2013. Brauhaus Wandlitz is the first brewery in town. A new building on the opposite street corner has been used for serving beer since the 2010s. - The neighboring former theater-casino was briefly awakened from its slumber in the mid-1990s, a Rosengarten restaurant offered its services. Soon the operators had to close again, so that the striking building was finally demolished around 2006. A new office and commercial building, designed based on the earlier design, was opened here in 2009.

In the settlement areas west of the railway to Liepnitzsee

Gasthof Liepnitz-Schmidt around 1912
Remnants of the foundations of the inn at Liepnitzsee around 2008
  • At the beginning of the 20th century - also due to the rapid growth of excursion traffic - the Liepnitz-Schmidt inn was built on the Liepnitzsee , where there were no other buildings on the south side . In addition to overnight accommodation with a restaurant, it had a few wooden walkways with wooden log houses at the end that could be rented by anglers, a boat rental, a bowling alley, a small game reserve and a large sun terrace. When the owners left the property at the end of the Second World War, Soviet soldiers took up residence here and systematically destroyed the buildings. In May 1947 the houses burned down to their foundations. Nobody ever took care of a reconstruction, some usable remains were carried away by the settlers. Later the cellar corridors were filled in and everything was left to nature. Some of the foundations of the large house, the terrace and the boathouse can still be discovered today. A small section of the path to the wild bathing area at Liepnitzsee shows through its old cobblestone paving that there used to be a road here.
  • The Lehmann family (father Robert and son Alexander) built a two-family house in the settlement area around Bernauer Chaussee (now called Kehlheide or Nibelungensiedlung ) from 1920 and, when the whole area had been parceled out and also built on, the Zur Kehlheide excursion restaurant in 1928 . The numerous Sunday guests also gladly took advantage of the " Families can make coffee here " offer . A bowling alley was connected to the restaurant , a gas station and a car repair shop were added in 1940, and the restaurant was leased to Eugen Suchocki. When the owners gave up the excursion restaurant in 1958, DEWAG advertising bought it and set up a training and holiday home for advertising professionals here . In 1970 a two-story extension was built on the foundations of the bowling alley (which had been given to the BSG Lokomotive Basdorf bowling club ). In 1983, the next structural addition took place on the other side of the street - the DEWAG company school and a small heating plant were built here using panel construction . The restaurant was no longer open to the public until 1990. After the end of the GDR, an operating company bought the complex south of Bernauer Chaussee and, after small renovations, used it as the Kehlheide hotel and restaurant for a few years. In 1997 a complete renovation or new building in the country house style took place, the ensemble was now called the Waldhotel . The Waldhotel's restaurant has been called Zur Kehlheide again since 2011 .
    The former school and residential buildings north of Bernauer Chaussee (number 26) were used as a training center for social professions until 2010, but then abandoned. In 2012, the municipal administration and the Brandenburg state government decided to convert this boarding school into a home for asylum seekers . The project was implemented with the participation of the residents and the home was opened with greater media interest. Refugees will also be accommodated here in 2020.
