The "Alte Schmiede" is located in the former village smithy, which was built in 1832 by Mr. Feddermann. That's how the street got its name.
The daughter of Feddermann married Wilke Ackermann who built the "Haus Ackermann" in 1862 next door. From 1862-1953 he and later his sons operated the village smithy. At this time the village smithy had up to 150 horses on "Hufbeschlag". In today's kitchen and dining area has been forged.
The forge fire was in the still existing, converted fireplace next to the kitchen. In the anteroom, the horses were harnessed.
In 1963, Karl Ackermann, grandson of Wilke Ackermann, built a restaurant in the forge, which was no longer in use. This remained until 1985 in the family business and was then sold to Kathe & Hans Ricks.
Since 2003, the family Ackermann manages the house independently and handed it over on 01. 01. 2007 to faithful hands to Susanna & Björn Lahmann. With the initially named Bar, the Cocktailschmiede and after specialization in the segment of Whiskeys, the Whiskeyplaza, led both to 2019 the catering trade. From 01. 03. 2020 it became the holiday apartment Alte Schmiede.
