Abstract
This essay surveys the pictorial evidence relating to inns, taverns and beerhouses in German-speaking Europe between c. 1400 and 1800. Following remarks on the potential and methodical difficulties of visual sources for historical analysis, the material is tentatively categorized into generic and symbolic representations. Among the former, subdivisions include images produced for identification, orientation, promotion and description; among the latter, those with moral, political and religious connotations. The overview suggests that the complexity of the pictorial record reflects the dynamic versatility of early modern public houses and the highly ambivalent way in which they were perceived at the time.
