The traditional pub on the historic central island of Luebeck

Our interior

P lease come in and take a break in our original interior. How about a fresh beer and a hearty delicious meal? Need a breath of fresh air? Our expansive terrace has got you covered.

In the beginning the tollkeeper lived in the gate from the 16^th century on forward. The inner Muehlengate was still there during that time, visible in the picture. The first recorded mentioning of the Zolln was written 1589 in the Niederstadtbuch, an ancient collection of records from the various arms of the system of law in Luebeck. It was mentioned under the name “De olde Tollbude”.

Today the Muehlenstreet looks entirely different. The Zolln is the last remaining building of the big Muehlenconstruction with several huge gates, which were removed in 1861. It reminds us of the golden age of Luebeck; the former queen of the Hanseatic League. If you look closely you can see the Zolln hiding in the left corner behind the trees.

Im alten Zolln is still a social staple. Newcomers and natives alike develop interesting topics over a delicious beer. Even without beer the mood is always lively. Hence, the Zolln has never become something new, neither inside nor outside. Instead it continues to be a melting pot of intellectuality and culture. It has always been more than just an ordinary pub. We are a part of living history, continuing the tradition started so many years ago.
