Gasthof Traube (Fürfeld)
The Gasthof Traube is a historic inn in Bad Rappenau - Fürfeld in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg . The property goes back to a Württemberg customs post on the border with Baden that was built in 1812 and came into private hands in 1836 after the German Customs Association was founded and the customs borders were abolished.
history
At the beginning of the 19th century, Fürfeld was a Württemberg border town on an important long-distance route. The Württemberg state therefore had a two-story secondary first-class customs office built outside the town on Sinsheimer Strasse in 1812 . The building was not only a customs post, but also a residence for the respective border guards.
After the German Customs Union existed from 1834 , the customs station in Fürfeld was no longer needed. The Fürfeld innkeeper Johann Dietrich Müller acquired the building in 1836 and set up a restaurant in it. The trunk road continued to bring enough guests, which only lost part of its importance from around 1860 as a result of the expansion of the shipping and railway routes.
In 1852 the property burned down by arson and the perpetrator was sentenced to ten years in prison. Louis Stecher then bought the property, but died in 1853, leaving the property to his wife. His son Adolph Stecher reopened an inn in the building in 1877, at that time the seventh inn on site. Adolph Stecher also received a concession to brew beer in 1877 and a concession to accommodate overnight guests in 1878. In 1922 the butcher Gustav Mayer acquired the property from Adolph Stecher and his two brothers. Mayer gave the inn its current name Traube . In 1960 Mayer's daughter Inge and her husband Rudi Weber took over the inn, and in 1988 the inn passed to Rudi Weber's son Harald Weber.
The Sinsheimer Straße, which runs past the building, gained importance again with the onset of motorized traffic in the 20th century. It was part of the Württemberg State Road 122 coming from Heilbronn, which merged into Badische State Road No. 3 after Fürfeld. In 1937, these roads were combined with other long-distance routes to Reichsstraße 39 from Mainhardt to Speyer , which became Bundesstraße 39 after the Second World War, which Fürfeld survived largely unscathed . Until the construction of the A 6, which was based on the main road, in the 1960s, the B 39, which ran past Gasthof Traube, remained a major national traffic axis.
