Alte Waldschänke, Historic tavern in Tegel, Germany

Alte Waldschänke is a former workers' house at the southern end of Ruppiner Chaussee, converted into a tavern when the Schloss Tegel restaurant was expanded. The building was fully renovated in 1996 and extended with an apartment complex. Until 2009 the Gasthof Waldschänke seated around 120 guests indoors and had an outdoor area for about 250 more.

The building was constructed in 1650 as worker housing near Tegel Castle and later converted into a tavern serving traders and craftsmen entering Berlin. After World War II, it underwent changes that transformed it from a simple rest stop into an upscale dining establishment.

Locals called it the "Kutschkneipe" (coachman's pub) in the early 20th century, because carters and craftsmen carrying goods to Berlin stopped here. The name Waldschänke refers to its position at the edge of the Tegeler Forst. Since autumn 2011 the pub has traded as "Wiesenstein".

The building stands at the southern end of the Ruppiner Chaussee, where it meets the northern end of the Karolinenstraße, about a kilometre north of Tegel's old centre and a few hundred metres from Schloss Tegel. The former Gasthof seated around 120 guests inside, with a beer garden for roughly 250 more. It has been listed as a monument since 1964.

The building was bought in 1996 by a company that fully restored it and added an apartment complex, so the former tavern now shares its grounds with flats. The pub itself was closed from January 2009 after insolvency proceedings and reopened in autumn 2011 as "Wiesenstein".
