history

The Restaurant zum Kuhstall was named after the original purpose of the building in which it was housed. After it was demolished, the Wikinger Hof hotel was built on the property , and today the Humboldt University is located there.

The Genie-Konvent, a spin-off of the Ethical Club founded in 1888, used to meet in the restaurant zum Kuhstall , which was temporarily headed by J. Böhme. Readings by Heinrich Hart , Wilhelm Bölsche and Bruno Wille took place there. The bar was also the scene of rioting between socialists and anti-Semites ; Court preacher Stoecker and the social democrat Wilhelm Hasenclever gave each other speeches here. In a text document from 1928, the restaurant is described as a simple pub. Karl Liebknecht went to the cowshed to find out about the status of the workers' youth movement.

The restaurant is also mentioned in fiction, such as Otto Erich Hartleben's marriage party . Robert Walser wrote his prose piece Kuhstall , the manuscript of which was lost for decades, probably in 1911. Walser described the cowshed as an "artistic sing-sang and ring-sound establishment in the north of our dear city of Berlin", which "smells of elderly, half-dead elegance" be.
