Heidelberg - summer 2010

The Hackteufel is a restaurant with a long tradition located in the Steingasse; it was mentioned in a document for the first time in the 16th century and renamed the Gasthof Grüner Baum (Green Tree Inn) in 1836.

In 1954 it was acquired by the Scholl family and completely renovated. The following year the restaurant was reopened, and in 1959 the Hotel of the "Hackteufel" Inn opened its doors to the public.
