Row tavern

The row tavern was a form of bar justice well into the 19th century . In contrast to the Krugrecht , which was on a specific bar, the row bar went around one after the other among the full members of an old community (hence the name). The row tavern could refer to the serving of wine or beer. In addition to home-grown wine, which the winery owners at that time were allowed to serve anyway, at the time the beer was in line with the right to be served in a row, in addition to home-brewed brew , it could also be bought-in beer from an officially defined area or from a specially approved brewery .

The house that currently has the right of the row tavern was z. B. marked by a so-called beer symbol. These could be so-called beer cones set up in front of the house or they were objects such as. B. a wooden sieve, a green wreath or a green rod depending on the custom of the locality. Instead, signs with a painted beer mug were later put out.
