The historic Adlerkeller is not really a cellar in a classical way. In the late Middle Ages the Adlerplatz (square) in front of the house was about three meters lower and bordered directly on the river. At that time you got straight from the house to the river Sitter. Over the centuries and with the new construction of Metzibrücke (stone bridge built in 1845) the Adlerplatz was “lifted”.

On August 1, 1957, our grandfather Johann Leu-Broger opened the garden terrace after he had “sunk” the Schwarzer Adler (Black Eagle).
