THE SCHNICK-SCHNACK HAS A LONG TRADITION
After the original building was burnt down in the revolutionary year of 1849, the beer innkeeper and baker Valentin Schmidt and his wife Elisabeth, née Müller, handed over the newly built house with stable, barn, shed and garden to their son Carl Schmidt in 1853. He married Karolina Dietrich in the same year.
WE GO TO THE "GROßE"
Carl Schmidt died in 1874. In 1888, Karolina Schmidt handed over the inn to their son Florian Schmidt, who had married Rosa Scharer in 1878. Florian Schmidt died in 1889 and his widow Rosa married Wilhelm Groß, the great-grandfather of the current owners, in 1891. It was Wilhelm Groß who gave the inn the name "Gasthaus Favorite", by which the house was known until 1999 (among the locals it was called "ins Große").
FRIDAYS WERE SINGING TIME AND LOTTO...
Rosa died in 1893, leaving her husband a daughter and two daughters from her first marriage. In the same year, Wilhelm married Anna Wagner. Two more daughters were born of this marriage. After Anna died in 1902, he married Pauline Herrmann and had two sons and two daughters with her. At the turn of the century, the Fideli (Wilhelm Groß) restaurant was one of the most popular pubs in Rastatt, where not only the students held their beer parties, but also the soldiers from the Rastatt barracks liked to stop in.
Wilhelm Groß died in 1925 and his wife Pauline passed the house on to their son Karl, the "Groß-Karl", in 1935. He married Gertrud Bergmann in 1934. After Karl Groß's death in 1969, his wife Gertrud passed the restaurant on to her daughter Christa, who had married Emil Hildenbrand in 1965, in 1970. Both ran the pub until 1999, when it was reopened as the rehearsal venue for the Niederbühl Singing Club. It was also the clubhouse of the Ulk Society.
1999 THE INN FAVORITE BECAME TODAY'S SCHNICK-SCHNACK
After an extensive conversion and renovation phase, the house has been run since 1999 under the name Schnick-Schnack by Axel (until 2016) and Frank Hildenbrand, the sons of Christa and Emil Hildenbrand, who have developed the restaurant into a gastronomic and cultural meeting place for young and old with a mixture of restaurant, café, culinary, cabaret and culture. Regular cabaret and live music events as well as changing art exhibitions are a trademark of the restaurant, along with its fine cuisine. In summer, guests can enjoy one of Rastatt's most beautiful beer gardens: Overgrown with greenery, idyllically situated by the stream, away from the street with a children's playground and covered terrace.
