The beginnings of the Bernese parlor company to the (medium) red lion are largely in the dark. According to the coat of arms (walking lion with a tanner knife), the room was founded to the red lion, in addition to the then existing Upper and Niedergerberstuben, as a crafted tanny room. A statement by the rebellious butcher and later Schultheissen Peter Kistler, however, is able to illuminate the reasons for the emergence of a third Gerberstube in Bern if he attacked the Bernese noble families in 1467 in the Grand Council. The nobles of Berns pushed into the craft Venner societies in order to get to the important offices of the city: Yes, a nüwe Stuben is thrown out, so that they belong to the master’s masters, and are still all junk. This is … to mines zyten … happened, as Kistler notes. In the oldest directories there are no tanks, but nobles, notes, large clerks, hosts and specialized professions such as writers, pharmacists and artists. This suggests a foundation of the room to the red lion as a patrician company around 1430/40. The earliest, well -known documentary mention of the parlor to the Red Lion can be found in the will of the jug of Kannengiesser Hans von Miltenberg from 1461. [3]

In 1722 Pierre Isaac Bouquet from Rolle acquired the Gasthof zum Goldenen Falken, today’s company house, around £ 32,000. [4] Before that, Mittellöwen owned the Kramgasse 81 house in Bern. The golden falcon was considered the most important inn in ancient Bern. Until the 19th century, large Dîner and balls took place almost exclusively in the Hotel Falken in honor of important personalities. Emperor Joseph II, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Giacomo Casanova and Empress Josephine are called the long list of illustrious hotel guests. In 1908 the house was converted into a commercial building.
