The History of the Domhaus and the Brewhouse in Röglitz
Domhaus and Brauhaus
THE HISTORY OF THE DOMHAUS
You will find the Domholzschänke situated within Germany’s largest contiguous floodplain forest landscape. This traditional inn, known for its hearty, home-style cuisine, has been satisfying guests and filling bellies since 1928. Over the years, the Domholzschänke evolved into a highly popular excursion destination in the Leipzig region.
The name of this bustling inn traces back to the cathedral chapter’s ownership of the floodplain forest—an area originally known as "Dömerey-Holz" and later simply as "Domholz."
The cozy forest tavern quickly grew in popularity. Whether among nature lovers, hikers, or cyclists, the inn in the Domholz forest became a household name for day trips—a status that remains unchanged to this day.
Even during the GDR era, countless school outings and hikes led through the beautiful floodplain forest to the Domholzschänke for a *Bockwurst* sausage served with potato or pasta salad.
However, in 2002, an act of arson burned the popular inn to the ground—ironically, just a short time after the television movie *Marga Engel kocht vor Wut* had been filmed there. Thanks to great personal initiative and dedication, a modern, well-appointed forest tavern was successfully built on the same site in 2006.
THE HISTORY OF THE BRAUHAUS ZU RÖGLITZ
The Brauhaus zu Röglitz was established in 2010, growing out of the long-standing family business, the Koth beverage wholesale company. Years of experience handling beverages—and a particular fondness for beer among the men involved—led to the idea of brewing their own beer. Naturally, every beginning is difficult; however, after numerous visits to trade fairs and breweries—both large and small—and days spent poring over technical literature, the foundation was finally laid. In 2006, a small brewhouse was built through the team's own efforts, and brewing equipment was acquired. After a year spent brewing, fermenting, maturing, bottling, and tasting, the task was finally complete.
The first Röglitzer Pils and Röglitzer Schwarzbier were unveiled at a lively brewery festival. This small local brewery places great importance on quality ingredients and adherence to the German Purity Law. Röglitzer beer—crafted using traditional artisanal methods—is now enjoying growing popularity in our region.
