The inn that most sources call Berlin's oldest: there has been a tavern on this spot since 1621 (Berliner Zeitung 2024). Rebuilt after the war in 1961, it still has its old majolica tiled stove in the main room. The Tagesspiegel's 2024 Genuss-Guide named it among the old houses that serve the classics with a fresh touch.
