A warm welcome
in der Meierei im Neuen Garten!
The Brewery Meierei (dairy farm) on the New Garden Street is one of the most beautiful guesthouse breweries in Germany. The concept of a guesthouse brewery goes all the way back to an old, German brewery tradition, in which every innkeeper must also brew his own beer. The Meierei building was first built in 1792 and was expanded into a castellated Norman style complex in 1844. Shortly after WWII, the building completely burned down and was not restored until 2002. After extensive restoration work, the brewery Meierei reopened its doors in 2003.
