Die Gaststätte mag auf den ersten Blick wie ein gewöhnlicher Treffpunkt wirken, allerdings wird sie…read moredurch die Ausrichtung rechtsextremer ("brauner") Veranstaltungen zu einem Ort, den ich nicht guten Gewissens empfehlen kann. Die Atmosphäre wirkt dadurch belastet, und man bekommt den Eindruck, dass hier ein Klima der Ausgrenzung und Intoleranz geduldet oder sogar gefördert wird. Gastronomiebetriebe tragen Verantwortung für das Umfeld, das sie schaffen. Wenn Räume für ideologische Veranstaltungen bereitgestellt werden, die für viele Menschen Angst, Ausgrenzung oder Bedrohung bedeuten, wirft das unweigerlich ein schlechtes Licht auf das gesamte Haus. Für Gäste, die Wert auf ein respektvolles, weltoffenes Miteinander legen, ist dieser Ort daher kaum geeignet. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass die Betreiber überdenken, welche Signale sie mit solchen Vermietungen senden - denn Gastfreundschaft sollte immer Menschen verbinden und nicht trennen.

Brought me tea and schnitzel as requested. Including a change from the standard menu :) Food was excellent. Nothing fancy. But, well executed. Real gravy. The schnitzel just beaten, and served piping hot. Checkout the photo. NOTE: the salad is half eaten. I could not wait :)

I think it is a good place to go but if you only have a day, there are other places that are higher on my list of recommendations. The atmosphere outdoors is great. You can people watch as you eat and drink German beer. I am always on the hunt for a good käsespätzel and theirs was decent, nothing to write home about but definitely not bad.

All food seems to be made fresh. This is the kind of spot one could get stuck at hanging out at for hours and hours and forget the time. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

To me it was the sort of place that once you were done with your food you'd still want to linger a while. The schnitzel with fries was always my favorite, and I seem to recall that it was reasonably priced. For gourmet food and upscale ambiance, you'd want to go elsewhere. But if you want some place that has sort of that neighborhood feel (although it's basically in downtown Mannheim), I can recommend Zentrale.

As the name suggests, the place is an old ruin, dating back to the 12th century, which gives the…read moreplace a unique atmosphere. It's possible to climb up the stairs of the old tower to an unrivalled view that - weather permitting - reaches from Weinheim's old town centre to the hills of the Pfälzer Wald. A long, long time ago I went there regularly with my dad - no wonder the place is filled with nostalgia for me. However, times have changed, and in case of the Windeck, definitely for the better. Since Rolf Pflästerer has taken over (now a few good years) it's more than a great place to end a Sunday stroll or a longer hike through the forests of the Odenwald by sitting in the shades of some large chestnut trees and sipping on a cool beer. The outside area is a beergarden that can rival the best. The cellar is a restaurant with a delicious, occasionally daring, menu. A tented area is perfect for weddings and other parties. It takes about 20 minutes to to take the direct yet rather steep path from the Gerberbachviertel up to the old ruin. A slightly longer and gentler way starts at the bottom of the crossing between "Grundelbachstraße" and "Dürrestraße". Or alternatively, you can take the car up the Wachenberg ("Am Schloßberg") and turn right into "Neuer Burgweg" once you passed the built-up area. Behind the ruin lies an adequately sized parking area.
