After 7 years of being a well established member of Heidelberg's social life the Brass Monkey has been ordered to close due to noise complaints from the former tenants in the apartment upstairs, even though they moved in years after the Brass Monkey was already up and running. This begs the question as to how one of the quietest bars in the area can be ordered to close like this.

Not only would the closure of Brass Monkey deprive Heidelberg of one of its most iconic establishments, but it could also pave the way for similar complaints of pollution agsinst other bars and restaurants. This could eventually threaten the long standing culture of Heidelberg Altstadt's social life.

Update to avoid confusion: The aforementioned neighbors have moved out and the current neighbors are actually nice!

We the undersigned speak out against the closure of Brass Monkey.


Nach 7 Jahren als fest etabliertes Mitglied des Heidelberger Stadtlebens wurde nun die Schließung des Brass Monkey angeordnet. Der Grund hierfür sind Lärmbeschwerden der ehemaligen Mieter in der Wohnung über der Gaststätte, obwohl diese erst eingezogen waren, als das Brass Monkey bereits Jahre erfolgreich lief. Dies wirft die Frage auf, wie eine der ruhigsten Kneipen in der Gegend auf diese Art geschlossen werden kann.

Die Schließung des Brass Monkey würde Heidelberg nicht nur eines seiner charakteristischsten Lokale kosten, sondern auch ähnlichen Vorwürfen gegenüber anderen Bars, Restaurants und Kneipen den Weg ebnen. Letztendlich könnte dies die schon lange bestehende Altstadt-Kultur Heidelbergs bedrohen.

Update um Verwirrungen vorzubeugen: Die genannten Nachbarn sind mittlerweile ausgezogen und die jetzigen Nachbarn sind nett!

Mit meiner Unterschrift spreche ich mich gegen die Schließung des Brass Monkey aus.

Als Englischlehrerin weiß ich, dass meine Schüler durch die direkte Kommunikation mit britischen Muttersprachlern enorm motiviert und bereichert werden. Brass Monkey ist eine ideale Begenungsstätte für eben diesen Austausch und muss bleiben!

I enjoyed the Brass Monkey while I lived around the corner (Obere Neckarstrasse 10) from Sept 2011 - Apr 2014. We played darts and met many cool German American and other folks. This Establishment should be protected as a unique relic of the HD Society!

in Ziegelhausen soll es ruhig sein, ist aber wohl nicht hipp genug für die neureichen, die erst unsere studentischen viertel verteuern und uns dann auch noch vertreiben, nur um uns dann nachzuziehen, wenns daheim langweilig geworden ist, weil alle weg sind

I have so many awesome memories with my friends from my Erasmus year there! The place was always crowded, yes (because it is great!) but why would you rent/ buy a place when very well aware of the fact it is above a pub in the first place?!

Brass Monkey is one of the most wonderful places in all of Heidelberg. It's a place for newcomers to the city, especially Erasmus and international students to find new friends and potentially a second home. Don't let that be destroyed, please!!!
