Abstract

Taverns and inns were important public spaces in early modern German villages. Carefully regulated by the state, public houses served a wide local clientele, including women. Taverns were, however, problematic spaces for women, and their presence there usually led to questions about their honor. Men’s honor was also challenged in taverns, which were vital centers of village communication, gossip, and local politics. Taverns were locations for local conflict, but also for reconciliation and negotiation.
