Café Stefanie
The Vienna Café Stefanie was at the turn of the 20th century, an artists' haunt in Munich at the corner Amalienstraße / Theresienstraße in Maxvorstadt . It was a meeting point for the Schwabing bohemians and was close to the cabarets Simplicissimus and “ Die Elf Scharfrichter ”. In addition to the Café des Westens in Berlin and Café Griensteidl in Vienna, it was one of the most important meeting places for artists and like them was called “Café megalomania”.
At that time it was one of the few bars in Munich that were allowed to be open until three o'clock.
Regular guests or regular guests during their stays in Munich were: Johannes R. Becher , Hanns Bolz , Hans Carossa , Theodor Däubler , Kurt Eisner , Hanns Heinz Ewers , Leonhard Frank , Otto Gross , Emmy Hennings , Arthur Holitscher , Eduard Graf von Keyserling , Paul Klee , Alfred Kubin , Gustav Landauer , Heinrich Mann , Gustav Meyrink , Erich Mühsam , Max Nonnenbruch , Erwin Piscator , Alexander Roda Roda , Ernst Toller , B. Traven and Frank Wedekind . The head of the regular guests was Major August Hoffmann von Vestenhof , everyone gathered for the games at his chess table in the next room on the right.
The restaurant was destroyed in World War II.
Some of the furniture in Café Stefanie is now in the “Turmstüberl” of the Valentin-Karlstadt-Musäum .
