oldest (around 1518, in the oldest parts around 1348?) and even today still
visible former inn in Rheinbreitbach - and also because of its visitors also the
most famous. It was used at least since the beginning of the nineteenth century
as an inn and existed until 1976. It had a large hall, where Carnival was still
celebrated in the 1970s and a large shaded garden and a bowling alley. Today,
the farm serves residential and business purposes.

After secularization, the later Clouth
court, like the rest of the country, was awarded to the Prince of
Nassau-Usingen. 1805 by Hen. Karst a mapping of all affected properties in
Rheinbreitbach was mapped. Houses, gardens, vineyards, landscapes, meadows,
cream hedges and heyden peaks are distinguished.On the map we see the still
existing main house (1) as well as the stables (3, 6) demolished in the
meantime and a semi-apartment (5). Where today the hall and the business
units are located, there is a part of the still stately garden, which the
Grimms have also come to know.The Rommerslandts Porte is still in the main
street at the height of today's footpath Am Rumersgraben.

On 27 December 1903 Paula Josephine
Hewig Wenslawiak was born in the Rheinbreitbacher Hof. In 1909, six years later,
she painted Heinrich Reifferscheid in oil on wood.Their parents, Julian Nicolaus
Conrad Wenslawiak from Danzig and Hedwig Catharina Friessen from Rheinbreitbach,
distrusted by Pastor Katterbach, operated the Clouths' court after the Clouths
and Wilhelm Friessem and before the Fritz Weyerstraß family, ie between 1900 and
1915.Heinrich Reifferscheid pointed out that the girl was from the café where
Karl Simrock and the brothers Grimm (Authors of the german fairy tale books)
met. At the time there was the Café Latz in the main street. The Latz family had
called a girl, Nettchen. That is why the portrait is also known as "Nettchenlatz".

Summary of
Hermann Ottendorf, 1911:
"Frequently the friends met at this time, either in Rolandseck, where
lunch was already at eleven o'clock, so that Simrock could be at home
before nightfall, or Simrock invited the friend with the painter
Schlickum from Menzenberg to Honnef for dinner , To which one or other
of his friends joined, such as the grandson of Goethe, who had been cut
off from the eyes of the old gentleman.
Even the old Clouth house in Rheinbreitbach was often the meeting place
for such gatherings, and was baptized by Simrock "To the Irritable",
since one of the daughters of the house had led the friends into the
upper storey, and with the perfectly serious words: Is not that one
Irritable area? The magnificent view of the Siebengebirge and the Rhine.
At times Simrock also appeared in Unkel, and there, on the way back to
Bonn, was a "night of the Strolchenfelser," a friend's journey with wine
and song, with cheerful and deepest conversations. Freiligrath also made
a few steps to the Menzenberg, where Simrock, as master of his vineyard,
combined his spiritual work with the care of the house and the court
with great pleasure and profound joy. "
[The irritable was Miss
Wilhelmine Clouth (1821-1897), who later took over the management of the
inn from her parents.]Spring 1853 - Karl Simrock recommends the Grimms
RheinbreitbachOn May 31, 1853 Karl Simrock wrote to Herman Grimm, the
eldest son of Wilhelm and Dorothea Grimm (1795-1867). In this letter, we
will consider where the Grimms are to relate to summer quarters.
Godesberg, Königswinter, Honnef are described with all the advantages
and disadvantages of the location and the district, but Rheinbreitbach
is recommended as a convenient location:
"At Alt-Tillmann in the Gasthaus Zum Siebengebirge [Honnef, Hauptstraße
42] one finds cheap and good food, Logis, of course, no longer ... But
now let me continue for half an hour until Rheinbreitbach, where Rudolf
himself
I remember, of course, the first house: at Clouth, or at the irritable
point, but I do not quite mind the suggestion that this place should be
proposed because of the proximity of Menzenberg, but Honnef is scarcely
further to us, and our predilection for
Breitbach is based on privileges, which would also recognize yours, it
is much more secret and dull, the idyll is not disturbed by fine staff,
no toilet is necessary, Gustelchen runs in the morning skirt on the
paddock or on the horn and beckons the
mother, who looks out to sleep, and what a focal point is Breitbach, how
close to Rolandseck, near Honnef, and Unkel, [...] we would be very much
interested, Si
Nowhere else than in the case of Clouths in Breitbach, to be accustomed
to the irritable [...] and the irritable and their mother must be told
that they are not living in the inn, but as if they were at home
would."
Ms Gertrud Ottendorf reports how the Grimms went to the Clouthschen Hof:
On
the plateau of the Zickelburg stood a half-timbered house, which
belonged to the host Wilhelm Clouth. He sold it to the daughter of
Wilhelm Grimm, Auguste Grimm. She never moved the house, because before
it was habitually made it was destroyed by fire. That is why Auguste
Grimm lived in the summer at the inn of the siblings Clouth, whose
entrance was from Rheinbreitbach. There we visited the Aunt Gustel -
only half an hour from the house "Parzival" to the aunt. We called the
Cloudian Inn "To the Irritable", because the Caroline Clouth in this way
praised: "Eg, my dear gentlemen, what do you say to something beautiful"
she said the beautiful view of the Siebengebirge. "Is not that an
irritable area?"
In the inn, Wilhelm used to dine
with his guests at the head of the table, while the two dachshunds, Tell and
Waldau, were allowed to sit on his knees and eat small treats. Frl Min'chen
Clouth was in the kitchen. She was already quite stooped; On her head she
wore a white bonnet that framed her whole face. Helpful was Johanna, her
niece; They were always seen with cheeks reddened by the fire. She prepared
the guests of the house delicious and plentiful meals. Here, too, the
gray-haired Fritz, who himself opened the door from the yard, came to
receive his piece of sugar.
A true paradise for children was the garden of Uncle Clouth. He was the
gardener of the house from whom we were given plenty of fruit.
Behind the inn was a faintly rippling fountain surrounded by a thousand
colorful flowers. There was a small aviary, populated by dwarf chickens and
chickens, and next to her the enclosure of a little fox. The best of all was
the pergola leading round, thickly covered with the most beautiful flowers
and grapes.

Rheinbreitbacher Hof 1903 Garden |
A sensation - how modest we were
then - was a telescope with which we could observe the guests on the
Drachenfels.On the other side of the street stood the house, which Uncle
Karl inhabited, proudly called "Villa Karoline". The garden smelled of
flowers and wonderful fruits. Then we were able to have a heartbreak. Uncle
Karl Clouth watched us, with a pleasant smile behind his white beard and
bushy white brows and the still funny eyes under his velvet cap. From him we
heard the Schlagerliedchen: "Fruits at which the wasps gnaw ..."In this
rural area the Grimms felt at home. Hermann Grimm, the famous art historian
and professor at the University of Berlin, lived on the main street of the
village in a house with two corner towers, which still stands today
Quelle: Gertrud Ottendorf, Heimatkalender des Kreises Neuwied, 1957
(Unfortunately,
the house is no longer in use today (2012), the former house of Hubertus, also
known as the house with the two towers, Hauptstraße 45. It belonged to the
outstanding buildings of Rheinbreitbach, which shaped the village image In the
second half of the twentieth century, was sacrificed to the contemporary
Zeitgeist and Mammon, and today the Volksbank Rheinbreitbach stands in its
stead.
Autumn 1853, Wilhelm and Dorothea
Grimm, Cloudtscher Hof
In the autumn of 1853 Wilhelm Grimm and
his wife Dorothea, at the invitation of Karl Simrock, lived for a few weeks in
the Rheinbreitbach, not far from the Simrock family estate of Menzenberg. Jakob
Grimm, who was working in Berlin, wrote to his sister-in-law on 13 September
1853: "Dear village, I am glad that you are recovering more and more, and the
splendid autumn weather today and yesterday, where you can go for leisurely
walks. The views of the Rhine are a different thing to your Freienwalde,
Harzburg and Friedrichsrode. "
In the words of Jakob Grimm, something of
the enthusiasm which had sparked the Rhine experience many years before in his
heart. "The Rhine is something wonderful, which can not be described, but is so
entirely a part of the German nature that every heart beats its heart when it
sees it for the first time Then descends on its emerald water. "
On September 19, 1853, Dorothea Grimm, on her part, faithfully reported to his
brother-in-law Jacob the Ferientage on the banks of the Rhine. It mentions
Remagen and the Apollinaric Church. "This morning at nine o'clock," writes
Dorothea Grimm, "we went here with Simrocks, Professor Worner and his wife, and
a Catholic clergyman, a very pleasant man, to Unkel, took a boat there and drove
to Remagen The very beautiful church, walked about a little further, ate
something brought along, and drove with the brook to Rheinbreitbach, where we
had no more quarter of an hour to go, and at half-past eight we were here again:
the Rhine was so beautiful and splendid, The sun was almost too hot, the view on
the mountain, where the church stands, is indescribably beautiful. "Wilhelm
Grimm also mentions this excursion in a letter to the brother: "Yesterday we
were at the most glorious weather at Remagen and on the Apollinarisberg. At 9
o'clock we went out with a boat and were back at 3 o'clock. The good Mrs.
Simrock was in a thousand fears, when the bosom swayed a little".

To the table Dr. Menz and wife from Bonn. Walk through the vineyards. The yellow
leaves and the dark almost black grapes in between. Dortchen and Frau Schäfer
went to Clouth's "Weinland am Rhein". We went into the vineyard in Clouth's
house where the grapes were weighed and then pounded. We were also weighing, I
was 149 pounds heavier, Dortchen 110 and Gustchen 129.

December 1854 - Letter from
Gustel Grimm to Agnes Simrock on Breitbacher wine
"At the end of April
we received a barrel of red wine from Breitbach just as much as the Moselle
wine, it was very warm at the time, maybe I did not leave it long enough, he Had
not tasted very light, but after about sixteen, the Doctor forbade Wilhelm to
drink wine; he was only allowed to drink Bordeau because of his stomach, so he
stayed lying when we went to Kösen, we tried him, He did not taste good-he is
not bitter, but has a bite like beer, the red has sat down on the bottle and the
wine looks bright-I think we must bathe in it. "In the year 1855, the letter
also mentions wine. He was so good that he wanted to order it.
