Today's brewery Gilden im Zims (“Heimat kölscher Helden”) on Cologne's Heumarkt is protected as a historical monument and is a late renaissance town house from the mid-16th century.
history
On the site of today's house "Gilden im Zims" there was already a building in 1163 under the name "Minnefusshaus" at that time.
According to historical tradition, the house was called "Zabelbank" in 1351.
In 1563 the Cologne councilor Wilhelm Peter ter Laen von Lennep completely rebuilt the house in its current form, as a representative town house, in the style of the late Renaissance.
At the end of the 18th century the community center was run under the name "Zum Sankt Peter".
In 1920 Johann Zims (1887–1972), father of the Cologne track cyclist Hans Zims (1908–1980), acquired the historic building and named it "Haus Zims" after his family name.
The house burned down as a result of the air raids in 1943; In 1946 it was repaired again.
The building was extensively rebuilt and restored by the new operating company between 2006 and 2009 and, as the official brewery of the Gilden Kölsch brewery, under its current name “Gilden im Zims” (“Heimat kölscher Helden”) seats around 800 guests on three levels on.
