Die Goldene Bar

The Goldene Bar was originally designed by the architect of the building, Paul Ludwig Troost, as an artists' festival room and turned 75 in 2012. When the Haus der Deutschen Kunst was opened in 1937 as the first monumental representative building of National Socialist cultural policy, a gastronomic concept was also offered in addition to the annual Great German Art Exhibitions. A leaflet from 1938 lists the restaurants of the Haus der Deutschen Kunst. The wall paintings in the Golden Bar, painted by Karl Heinz Dallinger with a brush on gold leaf, show maps of Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Italy and Dalmatia, South Tyrol, Champagne, Bourdeaux, Portugal, Spain, England, Ireland, Hungary and Germany. Figurative representations show among other things - tobacconist and canoe transport of sugar cane. The current drinks menu continues the aesthetic break between then and now by giving classic drinks a modern twist. The drink Blood & Sand, popular in the 1930s, originally consisted of equal parts 3 Scotch whisky, red vermouth, cherry liqueur and orange juice. Instead of orange juice, this drink is served in the Golden Bar with a crown of orange foam - a molecular change that creates a new drinking experience.
