history

The third Alster pavilion with the Hamburger Hof around 1900
Jungfernstieg around 1905

The first pavilion was opened on August 20, 1799 by the French Augustin Lancelot de Quatre Barbes. Two years later, in May 1801, the confectioner Richard Ruben from Graubünden became the operator. In 1809 he left the pavilion to his brother Donat Ruben, who ran it until his death in 1828.

Johannes Sprecher, who, like his predecessors, came from Switzerland, had a handsome pavilion built in the classical style in 1835. After his death in 1844, the pavilion was taken over by Spokesman's son-in-law Franz Dürst, and then from 1848 to 1874 by his son Heinrich Sprecher.

According to a design by the Hamburg architect Martin Haller , the tenant Johannes Schwarting had the existing pavilion rebuilt and expanded in 1874 and 1876.

Due to an extension of the Jungfernstieges, a new building was built in 1900 based on a design by Wilhelm Hauers . The massive building with polished granite columns and glazed Mettlach stones was nicknamed the "tiled stove".

On June 9, 1914, a new building designed by Hamburg architects Johann Gottlieb Rambatz and Wilhelm Jollasse was opened as the fifth building . During the Third Reich , swing concerts were held there for a long time , although music was frowned upon by the National Socialists . In 1942 the pavilion was destroyed during a bombing raid.

The semicircular sixth building with a flat roof that exists today was built in 1952–1953 according to plans by the architect Ferdinand Streb on the preserved basement and rebuilt in 1992–1994.

Swiss
pavilion In 1813, the French innkeeper Hyacinthe Dubernet received permission to lease the “Nilus” guard building, which had stood at Neuer Wall , as a second pavilion on the Alster. In 1815 Dubernet took on the leaseholder of the Alsterpavilion Richard Ruben as a partner. In the period that followed, their operators were also tenants of the so-called “Swiss pavilion”. During the great fire in Hamburg in May 1842, the building was destroyed and not rebuilt. In contrast to the Alster pavilion, which was popularly known at the time as the “smoke pavilion”, smoking was not permitted in the Swiss pavilion. Heinrich Heine visited the Swiss Pavilion regularly.
