| Oldest house in Ludwigsburg | |
The Waldhorn restaurant in the middle of Ludwigsburg was built as an inn at the beginning of the 18th century. It is on Schlossstrasse ( B 27 ) opposite the Residenzschloss . The inn accommodated Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and as it is called Casanova . Today, the listed building houses a restaurant with 190 indoor and 30 outdoor seats, which is no longer called the French horn, but instead is called latitude 17.
history
Eberhard Ludwig laid the foundation stone for the Ludwigsburg residential palace in 1704, which was then only a small palace. A cavalier's building was built to the west . This was canceled again in 1706. With the usable remains, the French horn was built as a tavern for the castle workers as well as for the duke's guests. This makes the French horn the oldest civil building and practically the beginning of the city of Ludwigsburg. Since French was the fashion language of the time and Eberhard Ludwig was a passionate hunter, the inn was called À la trompe d'or (in German Zum Goldenen Waldhorn ). The inn was leased to Johann Valentin Arnsberger. After the settlement continued to develop and Arnsberg became the local council of Ludwigsburg, the French horn was given to him for sale.
Stay of the Mozart family
On the evening of July 9th, 1763, the seven-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart reached Ludwigsburg with his father Leopold and his sister Maria Anna . After visiting Niccolò Jommelli the next day, they wanted to travel on. But since no horses could be found for the carriage, they were forced to spend another night in the French horn. Father Leopold used this time and wrote a letter to Salzburg and reported that "when I stood by the window, I thought I saw nothing but soldiers who would be ready to introduce a person to a comedy or opera". The next morning at eight o'clock they traveled on to Bruchsal.
Casanova's stay
Giacomo Casanova reported that when he visited Ludwigsburg in July 1767, he stayed in "the post office, a very good inn". But since there wasn't such an inn in Ludwigsburg, he perhaps interpreted the French horn in the inn sign as a post horn and meant the French horn with the Gasthof zur Post.
