Jägerhaus

Jägerhaus is a restaurant building located in the Heilbronn city forest, providing views over the city from its position. The establishment serves regional and seasonal specialties in its dining rooms.

The building was constructed in 1678 as a residence for city hunters and transformed into an inn around 1760 when the hunter began serving wine and beer. This shift marked the transition from a private residence to a public gathering place.

The building displays its connection to hunting traditions through decorative elements on the entrance door that were added in 1954. These details reflect its original purpose as a residence for city hunters.

The restaurant sits in a forested area southeast of the city center and is open to visitors Wednesday through Sunday. Getting there by car is easier than using public transportation since the building is located in a woodland setting.

A fire in 1837 destroyed the entire roof of the building, yet it was reconstructed with remarkable speed and resumed operations. This quick recovery demonstrates the place's resilience across the centuries.
