The Bergschlößchen

The Bergschlößchen is a former hotel and restaurant in Hann. Münden in southern Lower Saxony , which emerged from a garden restaurant built around 1830 .

history

The Bergschlößchen emerged from a garden restaurant in a once stony area on the Kattenbühl, which was only cultivated in 1827. Then the city of Münden had an urban fruit plantation built there and held annual fruit festivals in the complex. In 1836 Catharina Maria Lambrecht placed an advertisement in the Mündener Intellektivenblatt stating that her economy on Cattenbühl had reopened. The exact time when the establishment was built is not known, but it is believed to be around 1830 shortly after Andree's Berggarten in Münden was built.

In 1867 the old buildings of the garden restaurant were demolished. In 1871 a new building was entered in the cadastre when the then tailor Heinrich Gottschalk, as the owner at the time, had a new garden house built. The building stock of the inn, which at that time was called Gottschalk's Berggarten , included a house and a stable in addition to the garden house. The garden house burned down completely in 1878. It was rebuilt in 1879 and received a tower with a lightning rod, the top of which was gold-plated. The building was popularly known as the “To the golden needle point”, which alluded to the owner's occupation as a tailor. In 1883 Johann Zimmermann, a great-grandson of the orderly officer of the Prussian Field Marshal Blücher , bought the inn. He renamed it the Hotel and Pension Bergschlößchen .

Further changes of ownership followed in 1884, 1891, 1895, 1911 and 1913. Only after a complete renovation in 1926 by a hotelier did the business flourish. The Bergschlößchen had a terrace from which there was a delightful view of the valley crossed by the rivers Werra , Fulda and Weser . The traditional establishment has been used as a disco since around the 1970s. The Bergschlößchen was closed around 2010 and the buildings have been unused since then.
