Historic room records from 1920/1938 and 1965
Several official records now make it possible to place the photographs in a more precise architectural context. A restaurant licence issued in 1938 explicitly refers back to the existing licence of 21 January 1920. On the ground floor it records a main restaurant room and two adjoining rooms.
On the first floor, the same record lists a hall and two further rooms. The licensed restaurant premises also included a restaurant garden and terrace, while two guest rooms were recorded on the second floor.
The 1965 restaurant licence gives concrete dimensions: six guest rooms on the second floor, a 66 m² main restaurant room and a 32 m² adjoining room on the ground floor, a 115 m² hall on the first floor, and a 36 m² south-facing terrace.
Source-critical point: the 36 m² south-facing terrace recorded in 1965 is an official historic restaurant area. The figure alone does not establish which of the terrace areas shown in the photographs corresponds exactly to that wording in the licence. The photographs therefore continue to be described only as the left-hand and right-hand terrace areas where that can be identified visually.
Historic interiors
The following photographs show earlier restaurant interiors, historic dining rooms and the smaller adjoining room that still survives today. According to family tradition, this room, measuring approximately 15 to 16 m², was formerly known as the “Kutscherstüble” — roughly, the coachmen’s snug. The traditional name does not appear in the official records examined so far; those records describe it simply as one of the adjoining rooms. Click or tap an image to open a larger view.
Garden terrace through the years
The outdoor area is also part of the surviving history of the restaurant. It consists of two adjoining terrace areas: a left-hand terrace and a right-hand terrace. Planting largely separates the two areas. Immediately beside the building, they are connected by a passage approximately 2 to 2.5 metres wide.
The older black-and-white photograph, the historic colour photograph and the first more recent view show the left-hand terrace. The second and third more recent views show the right-hand terrace. The two older photographs cannot be dated with certainty, so no speculative year has been added.
What the photographs show
The interior photographs reveal changes in furniture, the feel of the rooms, wall decoration and table arrangements. The terrace photographs extend that history into the outdoor areas. They do not show one single uninterrupted terrace, but two adjoining areas that are largely separated by planting. From delicate metal furniture and richly planted historic views of the left-hand terrace to more recent photographs of both terraces, the changing style of the outdoor seating areas can be followed over time.
Above all, the photographs are records of their respective periods. They do not document an unchanged “traditional interior”; instead, they show how the house repeatedly adapted its rooms and outdoor areas to changing use, tastes and practical requirements.
The historic ground-floor layout can still be recognised today. The former main restaurant room remains the principal dining area, and both adjoining rooms still survive. All three spaces have been modernised over the years.
The larger adjoining room can be separated from the restaurant by a large folding partition, or the partition can be opened so that the two spaces form one larger room. An internal door leads from the larger adjoining room into the smaller Stüble.
The corridor also provides separate entrances to the restaurant and directly to the smaller room. The smaller room is additionally connected to the larger adjoining room. The arrangement described in the historic records as a main restaurant room and two adjoining rooms can therefore still be traced in the building today.
The 1965 licence also provides dimensions for part of this historic layout: 66 m² for the main restaurant room and 32 m² for the adjoining room explicitly listed in that document. The smaller room of approximately 15 to 16 m² is known in family tradition as the “Kutscherstüble”; the traditional name is not used in the official records examined so far.
Together with the other history pages, the photographs create a more tangible picture of the Goldener Ochsen: not simply as a building, but as a place used across generations for hospitality, social gatherings and accommodation.
How to read these images today
These photographs document earlier and more recent phases of the restaurant and garden terrace. They do not indicate current regular opening hours.
The name “Kutscherstüble” is part of the family’s oral history for the smaller adjoining room. It is not a room name taken from the official records examined so far.
The restaurant currently has no regular opening hours. External guests may be served occasionally and at irregular times, depending on availability and staffing. The restaurant may open for only a few hours, on individual days or on several days. Whether food is available in addition to drinks also depends on availability. The current opening status is published daily on this page and on the English hotel homepage. On site, a clearly visible “Open” sign in the window also indicates when the restaurant is open.
The hotel operation is separate from this and remains open. It currently comprises 8 guest rooms. Room enquiries, reservations and arrival arrangements are handled exclusively by telephone and in German. E-mail is intended for general enquiries only and payment is cash only. Current room information is available on our rooms page.
