history

Erected around 1500 as an official building with a court arbor , during the Peasants' War it was the meeting place for the rebellious peasants against the Swabian Confederation , with his military leader Georg von Waldburg, known as the Bauernjörg . After the end of the Thirty Years' War , the building housed a post office from 1683 to 1813 , the Imperial Post Office operated by the Thurn and Taxis . In 1768 the Austrian Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria stayed with her entourage in the Adler and two years later her youngest daughter Marie Antoinette , who later became Queen of France , stopped there on her bridal voyage from Vienna to Versailles . The last stagecoach was seen stopping in front of the eagle in 1908. In 1987, the British Princess Anne spent her winter vacation at the Adler.

From October 31 to November 2, 1958, the group 47 writers' association met in the historic inn. At this conference Günter Grass read the first chapter of his as yet unpublished novel The Tin Drum , which made the hitherto unknown author suddenly famous. After the operators had announced the closure of the inn in February 2013, Grass campaigned for it to be preserved.
