The annual flooding of the Zauchbach river caused massive damage over the years, so that the building <strong>had to be completely rebuilt in 1652. <\/strong>In addition three further snugs were panelled and next to the existing stable a second riding stable for a further 12 horses was built.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With the rebuilding of the tavern the floodwater from the&#8221;Zauch&#8221; couldn&#8217;t be totally eliminated, but the sturdier building withheld smaller natural catastrophes.<\/li>\n<li>The basis (<strong>cellar vaults, the vaulted ceiling in the entrance hall<\/strong>) have <strong>remained until today.<\/strong> In addition to general maintenance work, <strong>renovation work<\/strong> was undertaken in <strong>1704<\/strong> and <strong>1705<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The economic situation was difficult for many years: The troubles of the Napoleonic War in the 19th century were also felt at the Markterwirt in Altenmarkt.
