History - Stadthof

The Stadthof is mentionned for the very first time in history. A certain Hugo Kolahüsern makes his house a legacy to the St Leonard monastery - probably to escape the purgatory!

The Stadthof is owned by a drapery trader named Johann von Betwiler who probably came from Bättwil, a village 10 miles from Basel.

The city of Basel introduces road numbers. Before, addresses were described in complicated ways: The Stadthof was situated "on the Barefoot square, the old street of the beef market and the little road leading towards St Leonard".

Karl Lindemayer opens a wine saloon. It starts as a little pub, but over the years becomes a well known tavern (with the right to accommodate people).

Opening of the Brötli-Bar at the Stadthof. The place becomes an instant success because of its healthy, delicious and quick food.
