Schelling-Salon, Historic inn and architectural monument in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany.
The Schelling-Salon is an inn located at Schellingstrasse 54 with dark wood paneling, traditional newspaper stands, and several billiard rooms distributed across its spacious interior. Its rooms feature classic wooden furnishings that maintain the appearance from earlier periods.
The inn was founded in 1872 and survived both World Wars under the management of Engelbert Mehr, son of founder Silvester Mehr. It has remained in family ownership and operation for generations since its opening.
The salon served as a meeting place for Munich's intellectuals and artists who gathered to discuss ideas and play billiards in its wood-paneled rooms. Its intimate dark interior and traditional furnishings created a backdrop for creative exchange.
The establishment is open Thursday through Monday from 10 AM and serves Bavarian and Tyrolean cuisine at moderate prices. Visitors should note that multiple rooms and billiard spaces are available to explore throughout the venue.
A young Adolf Hitler was once removed from the premises due to unpaid bills and subsequently moved his meetings elsewhere. This incident reveals that even figures who would later become famous were not exempt from the establishment's standards.
