Freischütz (excursion restaurant)
Freischütz is the name of a restaurant in the area of the town of Schwerte , which is located close to the local border with the Dortmund districts of Aplerbecker Mark and Berghofen .
origin
The construction of the first building goes back to an instruction from the Schwerter Magistrate in 1843, when the latter had a forester's house built from rubble stones on the ridge of the Ardey . The masonry master Mohrenstecher from the Aplerbecker Mark was commissioned, who eight years later, in 1851, built the shell for the Aplerbeck office building.
Liquor license
In the 19th century there were numerous mines in the immediate vicinity of the former forester's house that extracted iron stone and coal . The miners often stopped at the forester's lodge from the nearby mining sites. Carters used the forester's house to water their horses and to treat themselves to a schnapps. The non-legal, but quietly tolerated serving of alcohol was finally legitimized on June 6, 1861 with the granting of a liquor license .

Age of trams
On May 18, 1899, the last horse-drawn stagecoach and the first electrically operated tram of the Hörder Kreisbahn from Hörde to Schwerte met in front of the Freischütz . For this event, politicians and representatives from Aplerbeck and Schwerte met in front of the Freischütz:
- the swords of Mayor Rohrmann
- the swords magistrate Dr. Haver
- the Aplerbeck bailiff Gutjahr
- Representative of the district administrator
- Representative of the General Local and Tram Company (ALSAG)
Through the connection to the Hörder Kreisbahn, the Freischütz bar became an excursion destination for residents of Dortmund and Hörder. Tram operation on line 20 between Hörde and Schwerte was discontinued on June 30, 1954 and replaced by articulated buses. As with the transition from the stagecoach to the tram, a delegation met in front of the Freischütz to raise their glasses at the same place, just 55 years later.
The great ballroom
At the turn of the century, a new hall for various events was built next to the old forester's house. The first concert in the new hall took place in September 1903. The hall building is in the sword monument list of the city entered.

Outdoor facilities
In order to make the restoration particularly interesting for families with children, a children's playground was built early on. In 1930 a riding and jumping competition area was laid out south of the ballroom. The Freischütz gained further fame through the children's paradise built in 1964 with a fairytale forest and a Münchhausen figure who climbed the tower of the ballroom while sitting on its ball. Märchenwald and Münchhausen no longer exist today. Today there is a generously dimensioned beer garden with a children's playground on the open-air site and, since March 2013, a climbing forest on the site of the former fairy tale forest .
