Zum Schwarzen Bären, Historic restaurant in Market Square, Weimar, Germany
The Zum Schwarzen Bären building stands at Markt 20 with a red-painted Renaissance arch made of Weimar travertine and a bear symbol above the entrance.
Founded in 1540, the establishment operated continuously until 1945 when bombing raids during World War II forced its closure, resuming operations only in 1999.
The building features traditional Germanic architectural elements, including half-timbered walls, antique wind catches, and a decorative tiled stove from the 19th century.
The restaurant opens daily from 12:00 to 22:00, offering seasonal menus and traditional German cuisine in the heart of Weimar's market district.
An inscription above the former archway reads 'Das Haus steht in Gottes Hand, zum schwartzen Beren es genant' with 'V.D.M.I.AE' underneath the bear symbol.
