Gasthof Traube, Traditional guesthouse in Bad Rappenau, Germany

Gasthof Traube is a guesthouse in Bad Rappenau offering rooms equipped with modern facilities. The building includes a restaurant that serves regional specialties.

A two-storey first-class customs office was built in 1812 outside Fürfeld on the Sinsheimer Straße, at what was then the Württemberg border with Baden, and housed the border official. After the German Customs Union removed the border in 1834, innkeeper Johann Dietrich Müller bought the building in 1836 and turned it into a restaurant. Arson destroyed it in 1852; Adolph Stecher reopened a tavern in 1877, and butcher Gustav Mayer, who bought the property in 1922, gave it the name Traube.

The name Traube (grape) was given by butcher Gustav Mayer after he bought the property in 1922 from Adolph Stecher and his brothers. Adolph Stecher had run a tavern here from 1877, the seventh in Fürfeld, and held a brewing licence from 1877 and a lodging licence from 1878.

The Gasthof Traube stands outside Fürfeld on the Sinsheimer Straße, the road that carried the Württemberg state highway 122 and later the B 39 toward Speyer. Guests arriving by car reach it from this road; the building itself is a two-storey former customs house with the inn on site.

The name Traube was given by butcher Gustav Mayer, who bought the property from Adolph Stecher and his two brothers in 1922. Adolph Stecher had obtained a brewing licence in 1877 and a licence to lodge overnight guests in 1878.
