history
The building was built in 1886/87 as the home of Martin Ernst Erich, the owner of the Erich brewery at the time, right next to the brewery's cold store at the time . After Martin Ernst Erich died in 1905, his sister Julie Toenishen and her husband Gottfried Toenishen took over the well-known company. On the occasion of the celebrations of Erlangen's 100th anniversary of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1910 , the Crown Prince and later King Ludwig III stayed. for three days in the Erich-Haus. It remained in the family until 1930 and then served as a tenement house .
When, after a few changes of ownership, the Erich brewery ceased operations in 1975, the city of Erlangen took over the industrial complex and the Erich House. At the beginning of 1976, the brewery buildings on Cedernstrasse and Neue Strasse were demolished and the main building on Altstädter Kirchenplatz gutted in order to build a social center there. The planned demolition of the Erich-Haus was prevented by the citizens' initiative Northern City Center. Since then, the building, which was sold to Steinbach Bräu in 1993, has housed various catering establishments.
