Like several other hotels, the "Red Bear" claims to be the "oldest in Germany," but this one has authenticated documentation going back 700 years to prove its heritage. The inn dates from 1311 and retains its individual character, with very comfortable lodgings and excellent dining choices. The party preparations are already underway to celebrate the hotel's 700th birthday in 2011. On request, you may tour the two-story wine cellar dating from the 12th century. Pros: dripping with history, great location. Con: some rooms quite small.
