Zur letzten Instanz, Beer hall and architectural heritage monument in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
Zur letzten Instanz is a beer hall in neoclassical style with dark wood paneling, antique furnishings, and a central ornate tiled stove dating to the 1700s. The restaurant spans several connected rooms serving traditional German food and local beers.
The establishment was founded in 1621 as a small hall for a former court rider and received its current name in 1924 due to a nearby courthouse. Its furnishings survived the bombing of World War II and have remained unchanged since then.
The restaurant continues traditional German dining customs with regional specialties like pork knuckle and veal served at antique tables. Visitors experience the same setting that guests from previous generations would have known.
The restaurant sits in central Berlin-Mitte and is easy to reach on foot from the old town area. Visitors find both indoor dining rooms and an outdoor area available daily.
A green wrought-iron spiral staircase in baroque style links the two dining levels and is a rare example of such old metalwork in the city. This staircase was spared along with all the furnishings during wartime destruction.
