Beer garden and terrace

This oldest copper beech in Westerstede with its massive trunk is a legacy from when the Koch’schen schnapps distillery was founded. It can be found in the middle of our cosy beer garden, providing both strength and protection at the same time. To sit and unwind under the beautiful crown of this old tree is a very special feeling. Enjoy a fresh draught Stadthaus Bräu beer or our popular house wine. What a beautiful time out!

Feel-good breakfast

The healthy and extensive breakfast buffet is lovingly served to our guests in the wine cellar each morning. In addition to breakfast classics such as cereals, dairy products, eggs, cold cuts and fruit, our breakfast buffet also offers numerous homemade specialities, homemade jams and freshly baked rolls. Coffee and tea specialities contribute to a good start to the day.
