On the market square for generations · Würzburg
Breakfast, homemade cakes and fresh cuisine – overlooking the Falkenhaus and the Marienkapelle.
Right on the market square · since 1952
On one of the most beautiful squares in town, overlooking the Marienkapelle and the Falkenhaus, we have been a favourite meeting place for decades. A short journey through our history – click through:
In 1952, hotelier Anton Englert built the house right on the market square and opened a hotel with a restaurant and café. Guests have been welcomed here ever since – more than 70 years of Würzburg hospitality.
Our café bears the name of Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn – one of the defining figures in Würzburg's history. A name that stands for tradition, continuity and the city's baroque heritage.
We are right on the Upper Market, with a panoramic view of the late-Gothic Marienkapelle and the richly decorated Falkenhaus. From our large windows and the terrace you experience the heart of Würzburg up close.
Today we welcome you on two floors and our large terrace: from the first cappuccino at 8:30 am to homemade cake and fresh cuisine, all the way to a cocktail late in the evening. We have room for more than 270 guests.
In the middle of the historic centre, surrounded by Würzburg's finest buildings:
