Deutsche Eiche is a historic restaurant in Munich’s Gärtnerplatzviertel, with roots reaching back to its founding in 1862.

Theodor Gößling founded the restaurant there in 1862.

After the Second World War, the venue became a meeting place for LGBTQ+ people, artists, dancers, and other communities.

Munich’s first gay group began here in 1971.

Its cultural history also includes associations with artists and performers such as Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Freddie Mercury.

The restaurant serves Bavarian classics alongside lighter international dishes.

The menu reflects changes over time while retaining traditional fare, including Schweinebraten, beside contemporary culinary creations.

A renovated hotel forms part of the site.

Its rooftop terrace adds a city view to a place known for food, community, and Munich’s cultural life.

The name Deutsche Eiche means German Oak in English.

The building was among the area’s early structures and has witnessed the development of Munich around Gärtnerplatz.

Its traditional character remains part of the restaurant.
