Old shooting house (Schwäbisch Hall)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The old shooting house (address: Ackeranlagen 6 ) is a former rifle house in Schwäbisch Hall , a town in Baden-Württemberg .

description

The old shooting house was completed in 1828 as a “classical plastered building with wooden pilasters in the middle part”. In contrast, Eugen Gradmann classifies the building under “Classicism of the 19th century” . In the Biedermeier period, the garden side of the building was open in the middle because the shooting ranges were located there. In the garden there are two stone stumps, the so-called "pointer towers", in which the assistants stayed to inform the guests who were shooting.

Since 1925 the house has been registered in the state directory of architectural monuments in Württemberg. Until the early 1980s, the building was used as a bar and event location by Club Alpha 60 for a decade and a half ; today it houses a café with a summery outdoor garden.
