Lohmann
Gaststätte Lohmann
Founded in 1888 and billed as Kassel’s oldest tavern, with the city’s oldest beer garden in summer and a huge range of schnitzels.
Founded in 1888 by the Lohmann couple, the tavern was destroyed in World War II and badly damaged by fire in 1997, and it has been rebuilt several times. It still calls itself “Kassel’s oldest tavern.” The menu centers on breaded pork schnitzel, prepared in more than a dozen ways, including a version topped with Kassel green sauce. You can also order Northern Hessian air-dried sausage (Ahle Worscht) with dark bread and pickled cucumbers, as well as the “Lohmann” macaroni made with the sausage. The large summer beer garden does not take reservations, but the indoor dining room can be booked by phone. Main courses cost about €15–19. Located at Königstor 8 in the city center, about 10 minutes’ walk from Friedrichsplatz.
