On postcards the Mönchsbräu brewery was advertised at the beginning of the 20th century for its “Special Tavern” on the Klosterplatz.

The inn “Bayerischer Hof” was built on the Klosterplatz in 1831 where the post house at the Hotel Adler was relocated in the upper city.  Already shortly after the opening, the widowed Queen Mathilde Karoline of Bavaria had spent the night on the premises.  In 1834 part of the building burned down, and on August 12, 1837 it was completely destroyed in the city fire. The reconstruction happened relatively quickly and in 1844 the district administration office reported about a post house in Münchberg, which was equipped with 24 to 28 horses.  After the construction of the Ludwig-South-North train, the building lost its importance and when a special post office was opened in the neighborhood of the train station they converted the Bayerischer Hof to a pure guesthouse.  In 1911 the “Special Tavern” (photo above right) belonged to the Holper and Langheinrich Brewery (Mönchsbräu).  The owners themselves, Karl Langheinrich and Fritz Holper, lived in the building at that time.

Since the end of WWII a butcher shop, a brewery and a sales outlet for ice had been housed there.  From the 1960’s there was only a restaurant.  At the end of the 1970’s the restaurant became an erotic bar “La Luna”.  In the last decades it developed into a cult bar for high school and college students to meet.

In many houses in the upper city there are still old cellar passages. These rock cellars also still exist under the Bayerischer Hof (photo right). The building has new windows on the street front. The round arches dominate the ground floor. The entry way is formed this way as well as the windows. Over the entry and next to the two windows to the left and right is a wrought iron balcony, which can be entered through a rectangular door in the upper floor. On both sides are attached rectangular windows, which rest on belt strap circular. The trapezoid roof boasts three gables on the street side, each with two windows, with two smaller gables on the left and right which frame one window each.
