history
Friedrich Wilhelm I worried about the reconstruction of the city after the end of the Thirty Years War . In 1721 he moved, among other things, the Ansbach - Bayreuth - Dragoon Regiment to the city, from which the "Queen" (Pomeranian) No. 2 cuirassier regiment later emerged, which enjoyed a high reputation among the population.
In 1867, Lieutenant Colonel Emil von Pfuhl took over the regiment. On his initiative, the officers' corps acquired a piece of land on the curtain wall and had the casino built there from 1867 to 1869 in the classicist style. Von Pfuhl had to go into debt for the construction and therefore - against the advice of his friends - sold the left half of the property for 7,200 marks . In 1895 a soap factory became interested in the left half of the property. The officers feared that a factory could be built next to the casino. They therefore bought the property back on November 16, 1895 for 17,400 marks and built a commanders' house there, popularly known as Villa Knobelsdorff . As a replacement for the Schützenhaus , the casino was expanded in 1951 and 1952 and was used by a restaurant and a disco in the 1990s.
It is empty in 2014.
