Alte Fischerei, German restaurant near Werbellinsee, Schorfheide, Germany.
Alte Fischerei is a restaurant on the Werbellinsee shore, constructed directly over the water surface. The building offers views across the lake and serves primarily fish dishes from regional sources.
The restaurant was established in 1936 from a fishing settlement that had grown around a 16th-century Hohenzollern court. This early connection to the noble family and the lake shaped the site's enduring tradition.
The name reflects its roots as a fishing operation, and the kitchen prepares dishes using traditional regional recipes. Local freshwater fish like pike and zander are prepared using methods passed down through generations in this area.
The restaurant is easily accessible from the shoreline and has parking available in the courtyard. Visitors should expect some movement of the floor in rougher conditions, as the building sits directly on the water.
The floorboards beneath diners' feet sway slightly when stronger waves move the building, creating an unexpected sensation while eating. This direct connection to the lake becomes part of what visitors remember from the experience.
