Struwwelpeter

What Struwwelpeter does

Struwwelpeter is a traditional German Apfelweinwirtschaft (apple wine tavern) operating a single restaurant at Neuer Wall 3 in the Sachsenhausen district of Frankfurt am Main. The business, legally registered under the name Apfelweinwirtschaft Struwwelpeter (VAT ID: DE113147366), is privately owned and managed by Fouad Badreddine. It serves Hessian regional cuisine including signature dishes such as Hausgemachte Grüne Soße with eggs and potatoes, Handkäs' mit Musik, Frankfurter Schnitzel, Schlachtplatte, and Struwwel's Flammkuchen, complemented by traditional Apfelwein (apple wine) served in Bembel jugs, regional beers, wines, and a house-produced fruit spirit branded Struwwelgeist. Menu prices range from €1.80 for sparkling water to €20.90 for Cordon Bleu, with signature dishes clustered in the €10.80–€16.90 range.

The business model is direct-to-consumer on-premise dining only, with no delivery, takeout, online ordering, or branded app. Reservations are accepted via phone (+49 69 61 12 97) and email ([email protected]). Operating hours are deliberately limited: closed Monday and Tuesday, Wed–Thu from 17:00, and Fri–Sun from 12:00. The establishment serves two customer segments — German locals (Einheimische) seeking authentic Hessian fare and tourists visiting Frankfurt for cultural dining experiences — with a thematic brand identity tied to the famous Frankfurt children's book character Struwwelpeter.

The company operates with approximately 5 employees and no institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or external funding. There is no proprietary technology platform, no API, and no disclosed revenue. Marketing is conducted organically through Facebook, Instagram, and TripAdvisor, supplemented by word-of-mouth and foot traffic in the central Sachsenhausen Apfelwein quarter. The business structure appears to be a sole proprietorship or small family-run operation, consistent with the typical German Apfelweinwirtschaft model.
