Dicker Mann, Medieval restaurant in Old Town Regensburg, Germany.
Dicker Mann is a restaurant housed in a medieval building in the Old Town. The facade displays Renaissance-style columns and carved stone decorations from the Baroque period.
The building served as an inn called Zum Blauen Krebs during the Thirty Years' War in 1635. At that time, the body of an executed count was placed in the structure.
The restaurant's name comes from a portly person who once lived in this building. The place is connected to Bavarian cooking and local beer that visitors have enjoyed here for many generations.
The restaurant sits in a pedestrian area with narrow, cobbled streets. Visitors should know that seating is limited and the rooms feel snug and intimate.
During renovations, workers uncovered multiple layers of wall paintings showing different periods of the building's past. These discoveries reveal that the structure has stood since the 14th century.
