July 12, 1624 – A milestone in the history of the Romantik Hotel Zum Klosterbräu in Bergen
When Prince Ottheinrich of Neuburg converted to the Lutheran faith in 1542, the monastery was dissolved and the nuns were forced to leave Bergen in 1544.
This meant a huge economic and social upheaval for Bergen.
The village lost its importance and with it many institutions:
The monastery’s bakery and brewery went under, tailors, weavers and a furrier lost their jobs and the monastery ceased to be an employer.
The Tafernwirtschaft (now the monastery brewery) hardly had any more guests.
However, Wolfgang Wilhelm of Palatinate-Neuburg (reigned 1614-1653) was sympathetic to the people of Bergen: He granted the Tafernwirt real brewing rights to replace the lost monastery brewery.
According to the contents of the document (document in the family archive, see illustration), which was issued on July 12, 1624 for the Bergen Tafernwirt, the intention was to supply the community of Bergen, travelers, but above all the princely hunters and fishermen with good beer.
