history
The house was built around 1750 as part of an urban renewal program under Prince Wilhelm Heinrich based on plans by General Building Director Friedrich Joachim Stengel (1694–1787). The house was probably built on the vaulted cellar of a previous building. The four axes of the right-hand half of the house come from the “Stengel period”, in the easternmost axis of which a second door was broken around 1894. In 1876/77 the service wing on the western side of the house was redesigned. In the years 1881/82 this was increased, converted for residential purposes and adapted to the existing part of the building.
From the beginning the house was used as an inn. A landlord can be proven for the first time in the 1760s, when the bell founder Johann Christoph Klein was a permanent guest here for a year. Klein was supposed to cast the bells for the newly built Ludwigskirche in the nearby Glöcknerhaus. From 1780 the property belonged to Ludwig Loew, who died around 1782 and the house passed in equal parts to his three children. In 1793 Mathias Loew, probably a descendant of Ludwig Loew, was the host of the Adler.
In the first half of the 19th century the building became the property of master carpenter Johann Christian Knipper (1786–1861), a brother of Saarbrücken master builder Johann Adam Knipper (1784–1870). Knipper is considered to be the founder of the "Zum Adler" brewery and had a license from at least 1835 to 1855. After Knipper's death, the beer brewer Rudolf Heyer acquired the “Adler” around 1875 and ran a brewery here, with an inn from 1888. In 1907, together with his brother, the businessman Friedrich Heyer, he founded the company “Gebr. Heyer Adlerbrauerei ”, which produced the“ Adler-Bräu ”. Three years later a "mineral water factory" and a "wholesaler of natural mineral water" were added. In 1924 the brewery was stopped and until 1926 only the mineral water factory was continued. From 1927 on, the Heyer brothers only had a commercial agency for beer and mineral water in the “Adler”. From 1939 Fritz Heyer continued to run the company alone. After the Second World War , the building became an inn again and is still used as such today.
