In 1806 the Gasthaus zur Krone (The Crown Tavern) was owned by the pharmacist Nikolaus Kuen, who was the burgomaster from 1804 to 1807. This was the name given to the mayor of the town at that time.
The tavern hat a genuine restaurant concession, which granted various privileges, such as a lodging and hospitality rights and the stabling of newcomers.
Six years later, in 1812, the brewmaster Franz A. Höß acquired the tavern, which continued to flourish until 1870. In 1958 the building was given a facelift and entirely reconstructed. Now it serves as a residential and commercial building.
The building is located in the heart of the former brewery district of Immenstadt. A few steps further – and you will find yourself in the middle of the Bräuhausplatz.
The Bräuhausplatz is the castle’s farmyard. The entire quarter consists of the Bräuhausgasse (Brewery House Road), the Bräuhausstraße (Brewery House Street) or the Bräuhausplatz (Brewery House Square). An imperial brewery was once in operation here. The sculpture in the centre of the square was created in 1997 by the sculptor Andreas Teuchert of Büchenbach. It features a true-to-detail brewery team loaded with beer barrels and a beer drinker resting on a bench, which are all intended as a reminder of the Kaiserbrauerei. The sculpture was donated by Gertrud Sigwart, the last owner of the brewery.
