Kitzmann Brauschanke
About
Nestled in the heart of Erlangen, the Kitzmann Brauschänke is a living tribute to Franconia’s rich brewing tradition. From the moment you step inside, the rustic charm of its timber‑laden interior and the familiar scent of freshly tapped lager greet you. The restaurant serves classic Franconian specialties—such as smoked Schäufele and creamy Käsespätzle—paired with a curated selection of local beers, while the adjacent beer garden offers a sunny spot for leisurely afternoons. The venue celebrates its heritage through the vivid murals painted by local artist Hildegard Heidecker, depicting 27 personalities from the brewing industry, politics, and culture. With seasonal menus, a welcoming atmosphere, and family‑friendly spaces, the Brauschänke invites travelers to experience authentic Franconian hospitality and gastronomy in a relaxed setting.
