history

Between 1380 and 1420 a Landwehr was built around the city of Göttingen , which was later supplemented by two more distant Landwehr to the south. On the old trade route to Witzenhausen and Heiligenstadt, which ran southwards, there was a passage with a barrier, a guard tower , the so-called "Dreckwarte", controlled the passage. In the early modern times, when the Landwehr lost its importance, the Landwehr jug ​​"Dreckwarte" developed at this point as an inn and relaxation area . In 1784 the road was relocated about 500 meters to the east on the route on which the federal road 27 to Niedernjesa still runs today . The inn was also relocated to the implementation of the new road by the Landwehr. The first mention of the new Landwehr tavern can be found in an inventory from 1787, the current main building is only a little younger.

The Landwehr tavern with its bowling alley also served as an excursion destination for the Göttingen population and student body from the 18th century onwards, which was a good half hour's walk away. The main competition for the company was the garden tavern, which was built 1.7 kilometers south on the same street by the von Hardenberg family around 1800 . At the beginning of the 19th century, the corps student Heinrich Heine also frequented the Landwehr tavern with his corps brothers. The story of a service in the Landwehr tavern has been handed down from this time. The Lottchen from the Landwehr not only made a big impression on Heine, but knew how to defend himself so steadfastly and firmly against any frivolity that Heine remembered this embarrassing moment for him even in later years. Also since the middle of the 19th century, the Landwehr tavern or one of its outbuildings was the pauklokal of the Göttingen Seniors' Convent , where the corps fought out their determination . The unadorned hall was equipped with a beer counter and also contained tables on the sides for each of the seven Göttingen corps and for the black union Lunaburgia, which also took part . Was for medical wound care still a patchwork rooms available, in which the Paukärzte sewed the scars. The Landwehrschenke remained the preferred pub of the Göttinger SC until the student associations were banned by the National Socialists in 1935. Even after the Second World War, following the decision of the Federal Court of Justice in the Göttingen scale trial (1953) , the Göttingen Corps again preferred to fight in the Landwehr during the 1950s.

The Landwehr tavern, which was initially owned by the city, was sold to Louis Aschoff in 1871, and the old Landwehr was leveled a little later in the course of the linkage. The original half-timbered building has been preserved, but the entrance area has been rebuilt. An extension on the north side dates from around 1900, another extension was later removed. The medieval watch tower was torn down by the owners of the inn and the material was used for the construction of outbuildings.

The Landwehrschenke was temporarily also one of the stops on the Gartetalbahn , a small train that ran between Göttingen and Duderstadt from 1897 to 1959.

The Landwehrschenke has been used as a brothel for at least twenty years.
