The brewery "zum Schiffchen" at Hafenstrasse 5 in Düsseldorf is a home-style restaurant with Rhenish cuisine in the Lower Rhine style.

history

Brewery "zum Schiffchen" in the 18th century (sketch by Franz Bernhard Custodis)

Once there was an electoral water mill on the property, powered by the southern arm of the Düssel . In 1628, Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm von Jülich und Berg granted a Wilhelm Hütten permission to run a brewery and restaurant under the name that is still valid today for 625 guilders. In the course of the coalition wars in 1794 bombing destroyed the house, after which it burned down and had to be rebuilt. Napoleon came here in 1811. In 1893 Wilhelm Hoff, who was born in Hafenstrasse 1, first acquired the parent company at number 5, then the building at Hafenstrasse 3 and later number 7. Before 1769, house number 3 was known as the “Zum Hölzernen Geist” inn and was then called “Zum Bönn'schen Hof ”. For the latter inn, a newspaper note from 1790 for people who traveled to Düsseldorf stated that “Mr. Kriegsrath Gerhard, Mr. Hofrath Hasenbach v. Cöln stayed at the Bönnischer Hof on the 8th (November) ”.

An inscription with a boat on the "Brewery entrance Wilh." Reminds of Hoff above the large double-door entrance around the corner. Hoff “stands. In 1911, conversions based on designs by the painter Karl Hemming were completed. In April 1928 the three hundredth anniversary of the “Zum Schiffchen” brewery was celebrated. The building complex was damaged again in World War II and then rebuilt in a simplified manner.

architecture

  • No. 7: The house is both historically and architecturally significant. The historian Heinrich Ferber writes that the house belonged to Balthasar Weiler around 1820. The architect Josef Kleesattel describes the portal : “The framed door on a house in Hafenstrasse is also valuable (Fig. 88) […]“ Paul Sültenfuß compares the portal of the house at Hafenstrasse 7 with the portal at Jägerhof Palace and sees stylistic similarities - "It can be associated with those of Jägerhof Palace: inclined pilasters and projecting cover plates". The door panel of the house still shows a clumsy baroque cartouche, as in house Neustraße 12. The building is now part of the historic restaurant Brauerei zum Schiffchen.

reception

When it was still a brewery , the “Schiffchen”, built in 1628, was one of the oldest breweries in town, which celebrated its three-hundredth anniversary on May 1, 1928. Even then, the brewery had a certain reception. Georg Spickhoff wrote about the shuttle:

“May the old house 'Zum Schiffchen', which has witnessed the history of our beautiful city of Düsseldorf for three centuries, continue to exist in honor; may it enjoy the sympathy of our citizenship and of strangers visiting our city for the future. May it always be and remain one of the most popular and cozy restaurants in Düsseldorf: the 'Zum Schiffchen' brewery "

Georg Spickhoff published a story by the Cologne writer Hans Becker-Kaulen, in which a description of the house "zum Schiffchen" and its appearance around 1800 is included. This description comes from the native Düsseldorf history painter Hermann Becker , the father of the Cologne writer Hans Becker-Kaulen. In addition to Heinrich Heine , members of the Düsseldorf Art Academy also came as guests , such as Lambert Cornelius , the brother of Peter von Cornelius , and the painters Hermann Becker, Karl Ferdinand Sohn , Caspar Scheuren and Johann Peter Hasenclever , who wrote:

“Among the work of my father, the historian Hermann Becker, who was born in Düsseldorf, I found a work that describes the Haus zum Schiffchen and its appearance around 1800. We read there: ' If you had walked through Hafenstrasse around 1800, you would have seen a gabled house with a gloomy appearance: the “Zum Schiffchen” brewery. In the top of the gable the huge, decorated beam protruded in the form of a monster. On the beam was the pulley over which the rope ran, which was used to pull boxes and bales up to the attic. In rainy weather, huge, grimaceous lead gargoyles spit the roof water into the middle of the street, where the rain gutters were then. Above the gate the grin looked menacingly down, a face made of stone. Where the chin should have been, it was flattened, and there was a hollow in that area. It gave the shotgun tree support, which was placed at an angle against the house. If you wanted to bring barrels in, you looped the rope by which the barrel was lowered around the tree. One wing of the gate was closed, the other divided into an upper and a lower half. The upper one was folded back, the lower one, the so-called “Ghattertor”, shot. Above the entrance hung from the grin head a semicircular hop basket woven from peeled willow, the symbol of the brewery. If one wanted to enter, one had to push the basket aside. There was also a lantern above the entrance, for which the landlord had to pay 3 thalers a year ' [...] That was the little boat, always a popular brewery. For the rest, its furnishings will probably have been the same as those of the other breweries. It had a general and a gentleman's room. This facility existed until the 1970s, when I was taken with my father, the history painter Hermann Becker, as a little toddler into the "little boat" where he and his friends, the painters Sohn , Scheuren and Hafenclever used to come together. "

In the section on Düsseldorf of the book series What is not in the "Baedeker" , the boat was described as follows:

“These bars here in the old town - this has to be said in favor of Düsseldorf - are much more genuine and much livelier than the old Cologne pubs. At least as far as its visitors are concerned, because here at Reusch or in the famous "Schiffchen" next door on Hafenstrasse everything, all the types that Düsseldorf has to offer, sit peacefully together. There the maid sits with her sweetheart, and next door sits the general manager, let's say the " Phoenix ", with his elegant wife, everything mixed up. "

- Hermann von Wedderkop , The Book of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bonn. Piper, Munich 1928. p. 160.

Guests

In the commemorative publication for the brewery's three-hundredth anniversary in 1928, Georg Spickhoff also cited some originals from Düsseldorf from the end of the 19th century. These Düsseldorf originals were personalities of whom Carl Maria Seyppel had made drawings in the 1870s and 1880s. Since they were also guests in the brewery for the Schiffchen, they were referred to in the Festschrift. Hans Müller-Schlösser had also mentioned these originals. Below is a list of the people involved:

  • The Mehlbüdel: This was also called Pieseröhr.
  • Professor Läwerwooch: He had his lecture hall in an attic on Berger Strasse. “His favorite dish was the usual liver sausage, a piece of which he always wrapped in greasy newspaper in his coat lap, often pressed flat enough because he sat on it, says the Düsseldorf resident Young people French private lessons. "( Hans Müller-Schlösser )
  • The wooden deuwel. This was so named after its wooden pillar. He wore blue glasses and a cap with a peak that hung down to his nose. With his barrel organ he was the Düsseldorf street musician.
  • The peeled Moritz, whose daughter appeared as a concert singer, was so proud of her that he stopped everyone on the street to talk about their latest successes by lisping and with a lot of gestures.
  • " The Muggle, " poacher.
