The Ausspanne , regionally also the Ausspanne , is a common name in the past for an inn or a tavern on old trade routes that offered space to accommodate travelers' horses and wagons.

On long trade trips it was necessary to take overnight breaks. The term "Ausspanne" refers to an inn with the possibility of relaxing the horses from the carts and carriages , that is, to the overnight stays of the travelers and the keeping of the animals in the stable . Generally, such Inns were as Ausspann economic or Ausspann locally called.

In today's parlance, the verb to relax (to relax, to relax ) is still in use, although its literal sense has been lost.
