Our Bückingsgarten is one of the oldest and therefore most traditional restaurants in Marburg. The building is surrounded by a rich history. Therefore, we would of course like to share the most important milestones with you!
The house where the Bückingsgarten is located today is first mentioned in a deed, in a purchase contract.
Landgrave Karl of Hesse expands the fortifications of the Marburg Castle to "meet the requirements of the further developed artillery art." A 270-meter high plateau is placed in front of the castle, 120 meters long, large-caliber cannons are stationed. The "East Bastion" of the Marburg Castle is created.
In 1807, the bastion is blown up by the French.
G. Dietrich Bücking acquires the property and opens a "tavern" in his garden. Various tenants run the Bückingsgarten after Bücking's death in 1915, including the Marburg families Hebebrandt, Kessler, Trautsch, Brandt, and Hechtelberger. The student associations "Wingolf" and "Freischar" also used this place as a meeting room at that time.
Heinz Landstein leases the Bückingsgarten from the city of Marburg after a long vacancy and resumes operations.
Otto Dabsch takes over the Bückingsgarten as a tenant.
The Kuhl family succeeds Otto Dabsch and then acquires the Bückingsgarten from the city of Marburg in 2000.
The family of Prof. Dr. Reinfried Pohl ensures the continued existence of this traditional Marburg inn by taking over the Bückingsgarten. Today and always, the Bückingsgarten is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world and serves as a meeting place for many Marburg residents.
