The "Goldene Harfe" inn is a listed building at Theaterplatz 15 in the old town of the Middle Franconian city of Erlangen .
description
The corner house, which also includes the extension in Harfenstrasse 1 1/3 named after him, is a two-storey sandstone building with a hipped roof . The baroque facade with a total of five pilasters and drilled walls with keystones corresponds to that of a typical Erlangen town house of the 18th century.
history
The building was erected in 1753 on what was then Geismarkt (Theaterplatz since 1884) by the stocking weaver Georg Friedrich Stäubensand and the carpenter Johann David Haselmann. In the same year, the builders successfully acquired the tavern rights of Margrave Friedrich III. requested by Brandenburg-Bayreuth . Nevertheless, due to lack of money, they had to sell the shell to the master glass and later mayor Georg Nicolaus Weyh, who completed the inn and ran it until 1792. His successor Johann Adam Knab acquired the building on March 10, 1792 and had the extension at Harfenstrasse 1 1/3 built in the same year. After Knab went bankrupt in 1813, his creditors, Buirette von Oehlefeld, sold the property to the journeyman brewer Georg Leonhardt Kropf.
Kropf originally planned to produce his own beer in the Altstädter Kommunbrauhaus. When this was still dissolved in 1813, Kropf tried to get a brewery license from the Department of the Interior in Munich, which was now responsible . He received this after several refusals in May 1814, but only for serving in the Golden Harp. In 1818, Kropf was allowed to sell beer by barrel . In 1819 part of the building burned down. In 1838, the owner acquired today's Kirchner cellar on the Bergkirchweih grounds on Burgberg . After Georg Leonhardt Kropf died in 1853, his son Friedrich sold the property on Theaterplatz. At the beginning of the 1870s the house came into the possession of Fritz Tauber, who ceased brewing in 1883. Using the furnishings that had remained intact, Tauber's successor Ernst Zimmermann brewed beer for the last time in the Golden Harp between 1895 and 1900.
Since the end of the 18th and in the course of the 19th century, the Goldene Harp was a much-visited inn by students, country teams and fraternity members . Since 1958 the building with the restaurant, which still exists under its traditional name, has belonged to the Catholic student union Gothia Erlangen.
