Gasthof Vier Jahreszeiten
View through Kirchstrasse to the church

In 1349, a customs house with a horse changing station was built on the site of today's Gasthof Vier Jahreszeiten in the immediate vicinity of the village church. After the property was transferred to the municipality, it was demolished in 1792 to make room for a new building that still stands today. It provided board and lodging to both Prussian and French officers and also provided accommodation to the Prussian-Polish workers who were involved in the construction of the railroad. On May 3, 1869, Duke Ernst II celebrated his 25th anniversary in government here. In 1925 the hall and the stage were added. During the war and due to the use by the ZBO , there were only seldom events such as poultry exhibitions or dance events. In 1986, after a 20-year break, the hall was used again for the fair. An obelisk in front of the inn has been a reminder of the redesign of the inn square as part of the village renewal since 2009 .
