Did the name “Zum treuen Hunde” ever catch your ear before? Right here in Seifersdorf, stands this historic inn. It’s not just any old building. Zum treuen Hunde holds a special place in the hearts of locals. It’s a landmark steeped in memories and good times. The inn has witnessed decades of celebrations. It has endured periods of closure and transformation. Zum treuen Hunde was lovingly restored by Sandro Böhm. He acquired the dilapidated building over a decade ago. He envisioned breathing new life into this beloved gathering spot.
Zum treuen Hunde, or “The Faithful Dog,” has been a cornerstone of Seifersdorf’s social scene for generations. Up until 1970, the inn thrived as a bustling hub. Locals gathered here to share stories, enjoy good company, and celebrate life’s milestones. The spacious 150-square-meter hall upstairs hosted countless weddings, birthdays, and festive gatherings. The laughter and music echoed through the village. The scent of delicious food filled the air. The spirit of community was palpable within these walls.
But time took its toll on Zum treuen Hunde. After it closed its doors in 1970, the building fell into disrepair. It was used as storage space by Robotron and IfA-Ersatzteilhandel. For a while, it seemed as if the Faithful Dog’s days were over. Then, a glimmer of hope appeared. Sandro Böhm, a local businessman, purchased the building from the municipality. He was determined to restore Zum treuen Hunde to its former glory.
The restoration was a labor of love. It took years of painstaking work. Böhm collaborated closely with preservationists. He meticulously rebuilt the roof, ceilings, and walls. The interior layout was redesigned. The exterior was carefully restored. The Faithful Dog once again stands proud. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of Seifersdorf.
Today, Zum treuen Hunde is open for business once more. Its doors are welcoming guests. The renovated hall is ready to host celebrations. Böhm has further plans for the future. He envisions an ice cream parlor within the inn. He also plans to create apartments on the upper floors. Zum treuen Hunde continues to evolve. Yet it remains true to its roots as a place of gathering and celebration.
