Gasthof Zum Weißen Roß (Eichfeld)
The former inn Zum Weißen Roß (today Volkacher Straße 17 ) is a listed building in Eichfeld in Lower Franconia in the Kitzingen district . The inn with its own brewery has been documented since the 19th century, and in 1972 the restaurant was closed.
history
As early as the 17th century, two inns on the Eichfeld thoroughfare are proven. A document states that the hosts of these houses had to close at 10 p.m. In 1811 there is evidence of a master brewer in Eichfeld , he processed the hops that were grown in the fields around the village. In 1887 there were already three inns in the village, one of which was the Zum Weißen Roß inn.
The inn existed in house no. 46, today's Volkacher Strasse 17, the name probably related to the mail riders and their horses riding through . In 1862 the landlord Georg Wägelein expanded the cellar of his business and marked the year of its renovation with an inscription. His daughter married the brewer J. Nold in the 19th century, who took over the brewery and the inn after Wägelein's death. Nold soon died and his wife remarried. The second husband and later owner of the inn was Andreas Wagner from Altenschönbach .
Subsequently, their son Gottlob Wagner came into the possession of the White Horse. Shortly before the First World War he was proven to be an Eichfeld host. During the war, however, a fire destroyed the brewery building, so the brewery had to be shut down. Even after the First World War, beer brewing was no longer taken up, but only continued to run the White Horse as an inn. From then on, beer was obtained from the Mainbernheimer Schützenhof brewery and the EKU-Bräu from Kulmbach.
In 1930 Martin Dümmler bought the property and took over the inn. He bequeathed the inn to his son Karl Dümmler in 1942, who was to become the last innkeeper in Eichfeld. In 1972 the restaurant business was stopped and the house was converted into a residential building. The brewery cellar, with a bowling alley for excursion guests on Järkendorfer Strasse, fell into disrepair. Today only a few remains can be seen.
