Schulenburg Hattingen, Restaurant and event venue in Hattingen, Germany
Schulenburg is an architectural structure in Hattingen that combines dining areas and a large Baroque hall. The property includes an interior restaurant space and an outdoor beer garden on its southern side.
The Hattingen city council decided in 1902 to build a forest restaurant on the Schulenberg, and mayor Carl Eigen opened the Schulenburg on 22 May 1903 after a year of construction. A Baroque hall about 10 metres high was added in 1906. The building was recognised as a monument in February 1987 and has been privately owned since 2001.
The name Schulenburg comes from the Schulenberg forest hill where the city council built the restaurant in 1903. From 1956 the Mann couple ran it as Hotel-Restaurant Haus Schulenburg and the large hall was used intensively for weddings. Since spring 2020 the restaurant has operated under the name "Zwölf Apostel".
The Schulenburg stands on the Schulenberg in the city forest south of Hattingen's old town, a short distance from the Bismarckturm. It is reached on foot through the forest; the site has no dedicated car park of its own. The restaurant has operated since spring 2020 under the name "Zwölf Apostel" with a new tenant, so opening times should be checked before setting out.
In 2015 the restaurant appeared on the Kabel1 show Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal and finished joint last with 27 of 40 points; the week's winner was André's 1726 in Witten with full marks. Since spring 2020 the kitchen has operated under a new tenant as "Zwölf Apostel".
