Our story
In the spirit of Anna Stanscheck, the “stout landlady”
In the middle of Charlottenburg sits a genuine piece of Berlin history. The imposing Anna Stanscheck – the “Dicke Wirtin” – was famous for her big heart, her stews, her love for the students of the nearby art academy, and her gruff sympathy for artists, writers, actors and all the other eccentrics.
The crowd she served was always just as mixed and interesting. The city has been through turbulent times, and Dicke Wirtin with it. But every turbulence was met here with great calm and a properly poured beer.
And so Dicke Wirtin has remained what it always was and always will be: a true Berlin pub with a kitchen, charm and character.
At Savignyplatz for decades
9 draught beers
Home-made liqueurs & schnapps
Food & Drinks
“Rather a bit more – but proper good food!”
Old Berlin cooking stands for hearty flavours, regional ingredients and generous portions. Much has changed over the years – but Berliners always come back to Eisbein (pork knuckle) with sauerkraut or Boulette (meatball) with fried potatoes. The classics never go out of style.
Nine draught beers
Well poured is half drunk: nine varieties fresh from the tap, served with Berlin calm.
Liqueurs & schnapps
Home-made and high-proof – our own liqueurs and schnapps, also available to take home.
Selected wines
A carefully chosen selection of wines – for everyone who prefers the cork to the tap.
From our own butcher. Quality, freshness and flavour are our butcher's golden rules – this is where our own sausage and meat creations are made, at consistently top quality.
