Gasthof Zum Mohr, Historic inn in Giebichenstein, Halle (Saale), Germany.
Gasthof Zum Mohr sits at the corner of Burgstrasse and Faehrstrasse in the Giebichenstein quarter. The building features a mansard roof dating to the 18th century and stands near Burg Giebichenstein castle.
The present building dates from the 16th century and was first recorded in 1536 as the inn "Zum schwarzen Mohren"; it also served as a customs house where travelling merchants paid tolls and the castle's tenant farmers their hereditary rent. After a partial fire in 1743 it was rebuilt by 1749 on the old cellars, and by 1767 it had gained its two-storey form with mansard roof and sandstone portal. From 1919 to 2009 it belonged to the Richter/Mohr family.
The establishment served as a gathering place for local organizations and associations until 1907. After that year, most of these groups moved their activities to the newly built Volkspark in the area.
The inn stands at the corner of Burgstraße and Fährstraße, beside Burg Giebichenstein. The building is a protected monument and was closed in 2022; it was later offered at auction with a minimum bid above 1 million euros and remained unsold. As of 2025 it is listed for sale at 1.3 million euros.
Three generations of the Richter/Mohr family operated this property for over 90 years. This long ownership created a continuity that made the place a landmark of stable local presence across multiple decades.
