Die Butterhanne, Restaurant and café in Market Square, Goslar, Germany.
Die Butterhanne is a restaurant and café located directly on the market square of Goslar, inside a half-timbered building. It serves traditional German food and regional dishes from the Harz area.
The building on the market square dates to a period when Goslar was a major trading hub and butter was a sought-after commodity. Over time it shifted from a place of trade to a place where people come to eat.
The name "Butterhanne" refers to a woman who once sold butter at this very spot on the market square. Today the place carries that memory through its menu, which draws on produce from the Harz area.
The market square is easy to reach on foot from anywhere in Goslar's old town. The restaurant has indoor tables and an outdoor terrace facing the square, so a reservation is a good idea when the town is busy.
The dining room displays a collection of historic tobacco and snuff boxes gathered from different periods. These objects are closely tied to a craft tradition that was once common in the region.
