history
The Engelnburg was built in 1900 by the road construction supervisor Karl Erb and was originally intended to be used as a hotel. The building was built on the relics of formerly intensive limestone mining on an Engelnberg, from which the so-called "fairy tale spring" originated; located directly on the "Osterfeld". From 1826 on, the Republic Square was used as a parade ground, where the Landwehr was drilled until 1919.
The house with restaurant was recognized as a monument on January 13, 1987 . The property with a land area of 528.00 m² with around 1,210 m² of living space was renovated by 2006 and offered for sale for 1.5 million euros.
