This brewery and inn, established in 1752, was the home of the village storyteller Dorothea Viehmann, who supplied the Grimms with some of their best stories, including Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and Rumpelstiltskin. If you're planning on visiting on the weekend, it's best to book ahead or call to arrange a tour of the brewery.
This café has the most spectacular view in town—and Marburg is famous for its panoramas. Both an outdoor terrace and a glassed-in terrace take full advantage of the site. It's all very \"Viennese coffeehouse traditional\" here, with piano music on weekends. The house-made cakes and chocolate creams are hard to resist.
