Kutscherstube, former inn in Mägdesprung, Harzgerode, Germany

The Kutscherstube was a half-timbered inn at the southern end of Mägdesprung, part of Harzgerode, first mentioned in 1710. It stood on Untere Kreisstraße opposite the Hüttenplatz, where the Kunstgussgruppen sculptures now stand. A three-story half-timbered annex with Harz-style loggias was added to the south side in the 19th century. The building was destroyed by fire on July 2, 2018.

The house began as a foundry inn in the early 1700s, serving visitors and workers of the iron works established in the 17th century. Around the mid-1800s, a new wing was added, transforming it into a small hotel with guest rooms.

The building served as a gathering place for workers and travelers connected to the nearby iron foundry. Its name reflects its purpose: a spot where coachmen, laborers, and visitors would meet, eat, and share stories.

Only the outer walls remain from the original building following the 2018 fire. Access to the site is limited since the grounds are abandoned and vegetation covers the ruins.

The building was later called a health house and in the 1970s served as lodging for students from Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg. This unexpected function shows how the old structure adapted to new times before eventually being abandoned.
