Gasthaus zur Rose (Großbottwar)
The Gasthaus zur Rose in Großbottwar in the Ludwigsburg district ( Baden-Württemberg ) is a historic building that was built outside the city walls in the 16th or 17th century. In the 18th century, the robber and Rößleswirt Johann David Linse ran the business.
history
Little is known about the origins of the inn . Its early history is mainly derived from building findings. It was originally located outside the city wall in front of the Zwingertor. There was a group of buildings there as early as 1600. The building has some half-timbered features that allow it to be dated to the time before 1568. After the great city fire of 1554, a new town hall was built in 1556, which replaced a previous building that was probably not burned but was still in disrepair. Based on the size of some parts of the inn, it is assumed that parts of the old town hall were too large for further use in the narrow city and could therefore have served to build the economy outside the city walls. Apparently the local guilds had built a representative seat from the remains of the old town hall, because the inn was used to store the guild shop . As a sign tavern , it was open all year round.
Nothing is known about the extent and duration of the damage to the building in the Thirty Years' War , which is considered certain . Therefore, a completely new construction of the inn in the older suburban settlement with the use of building materials from earlier buildings would only be possible in the course of the 17th century.
The inn was originally called Zum Weißen Ross , which later became Zum Weißen Rößle or Rößle for short .
The first documented innkeeper was the host and brewer Hans Jakob Weeber († 1732), who immigrated around 1675. After his death, his widow sold the inn to Elisabeth Katharina Metzger, the wife of Michael Metzger, who was also a butcher by profession. After his wife's death in 1742, he got into financial difficulties, so that the inn was sold (foreclosed). Christian Häusser from Stuttgart, again a butcher, bought the inn in 1745. However, he died around 1760. His widow Klara Häusser continued the business and was married to Andreas Linse, also a butcher from Stuttgart . The butcher's trade was necessary to run the economy at this time. Johann David Linse , Christian Häusser's only son, bought the property in 1780 and succeeded him as an innkeeper. - The name of the inn at that time was Zum Weißen Rößle . - Linse committed a large number of break-ins and thefts and thus became the subject of popular sagas and stories as the Rößlewirt . In 1789 he was executed. Then the inn came through a foreclosure auction to Johann Konrad Schuler. He changed the name due to the bad repute of its previous owner. Since then the Gasthof Zur Rose has been called .
In the first half of the 19th century, the building was plastered in accordance with a fire protection ordinance. Around 1956, the half-timbered structure was uncovered roughly at the same time as that of the Grossbottwar town hall.
location
In the course of the growth of Großbottwar, what was once an outlying location developed into an inner-city transport hub. The gable of the building is on the main street , which has been transformed into a pedestrian zone , while Rosenplatz runs to the side of the building . This leads to an intersection with Bahnhofsstraße and Kleinbottwarer Straße, which crosses the town .
