"For years my attempts to eat at the Schillerhöhe have failed, for a wide variety of reasons: either rest day or lunch break, either because of overfilling or unfortunately because of the Corona lock and due to lack of personnel. The restaurant is so welcoming at the most prominent place in Marbach that you simply feel the need to return. Either after a visit to the Literature Museum of Modernism or the German Literature Archive or after a walk on the venerable hill or after a cross trip. Especially the terrace with a unique view from above to the Neckartal. Now there has clearly been a chance, and this cannot even be due to the fact that the place has been under new leadership for several months. After 13 years, the Pächter-Ehe pair has hunters (which also led to a small renaming of the restaurant and a new domain for the homepage), but the side bonus remains unchanged even under the aegis of Simone and Patrick Dietrich. My previous retirement in 1937, “because the restaurant is practically part of the town hall”. This circumstance comes to bear at this year’s “wine reading days”, a magnificent event with wine tasting, guided tours, music performances at the Schillerhöhe. And as drinking on a sober stomach does not get so good, the restaurant offers the culinary basis. Probably not 1 to 1 with the usual courts, but with a slightly modified, publicly accessible, hearty, weeping offer. And this means at this first weekend of March: melted mules, pork chips, potato salad, Swiss sausage salad, land hunters with bread, salad with falafel or dough bags, focaccia etc. If you get a place, you can appreciate it. The wine offering of the surrounding wine farmers from Marbach or the Bottwartal is great. The food supply is perfectly harmonized. We are delighted with the melted mules with potato salad (order with 1 mouth pocket 11,50 Euro/ with 2 mouth pockets 15,50 Euro). The powerful blows are filled with impact (precisely in the correct mixing ratio of broth, spinach and green), lying on a spicy roast sauce and being crowned by a topping of cloned onions. Great! There are potato salads that can also be ordered individually on request for 4.50 euros. Finally, once again according to my taste: as a basis a suitable potato variety, very tasty, poured with enormous broth and without otherwise often dominant maggi undertones. On the second day we get extra bread to apply the residues. The hearty sausage salad (10.50 euros) also shines through an aromatic dressage and is dusted with a lot of fresh green and powerful, acidic spice cucumber slices. A look at the regular menu of the Schillerhöhe restaurant shows that many of the dishes offered today are also available in regular operation at similar prices, as well as a daily changing lunch table for 12,00 euros. In the current week, for example, you will get a pork carving with roast or soaked mules with egg and potato salad. Another start would therefore definitely be rewarding. The service staff is quick, very strenuous and very friendly – and also under stressful, sharpened conditions like this weekend. As in 1937, numerous parking spaces are located on the square between Literaturmuseum and Deutsches Literaturmuseum. I can't say if they're free. Because it is a very special pleasure to travel with Öffis or even the ship to Marbach – not only at the time of winemaking."
