the history of “Mittmann's"

Our History

Beer and grain have been flowing in the pub on the corner of Brückenstraße and today's Rungestraße since 1899 and hearty meals have been served here for just as long. The name of the restaurant, however, has changed several times over the years. It all began with the “Café Metropol”, which even back then served more than just coffee, then the “Restauration Freudenberg” and finally the Berlin corner pub “Zur Sonne”. The pub existed under this name until 1981, almost 50 years. After it was handed over to its new owner, the “Eintopf-Eck” became widely known. It was not until 10 years later, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the GDR, that the decision was made to advertise under a new name and the restaurant was renamed “Mittmann's”. Mittmann's is a rock in the surf of a constantly changing city and stands out from the advancing modernity. And that is exactly what is important here. Unchanged original coziness, traditional Berlin dishes and hospitality invite you to linger a little longer. In the past, personalities such as Tamara Danz, singer of the East German rock band “Silly”, presenter and singer Helga Hahnemann and politicians such as Wolfgang Thierse, Thilo Sarrazin and Renate Künast have also stayed here.
