history
The so-called bathing room at the Himmelpforten was originally located at this point as early as the 14th century . A baroque house was built here in 1720, in which Maria Theresa's personal chef and court traiteur Ignaz Jahn founded a luxury restaurant at the end of the 18th century. Concerts were also held in this restaurant, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven personally.
After Ignaz Jahn's son Franz had sold the house in 1812, the Café Hänisch, originally located on the meat market , opened here in 1824 . Over the decades it changed name and owner several times. In 1870 it became Zum Hopfenstock , later the Café Herzog . In 1877 the whole building was renovated and the floors above the café were used as offices. The coffee house has been run under the name Café Frauenhuber since 1891 .
