The traditional Erlangen pub Kaiser Wilhelm is closing after nine years. The landlord's new contract conditions are cited as the reason.
The rent should be increased by almost double, as documents available to our editorial team show. The landlords explained that the percentage increase in the price of a pork schnitzel (2016: 8.50 euros, 2024: 13 euros) is part of the reason for the closure. The pub will close at the end of the month, but the Dartverein Erlangin eV will stay open until 2016. It is the second pub in the city to close in the last few months. The first one closed in February after a professional darts player left the pub. The owners of that pub are still looking for a new venue for the next year.
