Herkules bierbrewery at the Karlsplatz
The large corner building Karlsplatz 1-2 / Obere Karlsstraße 18 is closely linked to the bourgeois history of Kassel. Erected by the manufactory owners Landré after 1714, master tailor Hermann Meyer took over the building complex in 1839; around 1860 he was bought by the brewer Sebastian Losch and set up the restaurant “Zum Carlsplatz”. The beer was then preferably cooled in cellars, which had been driven in the vineyard or on the Kölnische Straße in the rocks; The required ice cut in winter from the Fulda.
Losch had his beer cellar from 1860 on the present property Kölnische Straße 112 create. Later he also ran the popular garden bar “Stadtpark” (Wilhelmsstraße 6, see station 18).

In 1897 they merged with the breweries Wentzell (Gasthaus zur Pinne) and August Sumpf Söhne (in Greifswald): The Hercules Brewery was established, based in the Hafenstraße.

The wing of the building on Karlsstraße took up the motif of the three-winged house, but the top floor was from the outset constructed as a single storey (without gaps between the gables). The wall on the right belongs to the Rathaushof; the earlier building from the 18th century had been demolished in 1904 for the construction of the town hall.
