Located adjacent to Gendarmenmarkt, at Mohrenstraße 49, “das Englische Haus” was a very fashionable private dining establishment in Berlin. It was originally owned and operated by Adolf Huster, who held the title of “‘Hof-Traiteur Seiner Majestät des Kaisers und Königs’ [Cook to his Majesty the Kaiser and King], an official title granted by the Kaiser” (Rabelais Inc. 15). After Huster's retirement, ownership changed into the hands of Max Huster and Ernst Brandt.

<blockquote>
Das Englische Haus became the premier private dining establishment of Berlin: „Die besten Kreise Berlins feierten bei Huster, dessen auf große Gesellschaften eingerichtete „Stadtküche” zur unentbehrlichen Einrichtung selbst des Hofes geworden war; in Seinem „Englischen Haus” in der Mohrenstraße feierte die „gute Gesellschaft” und gab sich die Hautevolee von Industrie und Börse glänzende Feste.” [The best social circles of Berlin celebrated at Huster. Huster’s city kitchen was arranged for large parties and even became an indispensible accommodation to the King’s Court. Englisches Haus at the Mohrenstraße is where the “high society” had their festivals and where the upper crust from industry and the stock market gave themselves magnificent feasts.] Annemarie Lange, ''Berlin zur Zeit Bebels und Bismarcks'' (Dietz Verlag, Berlin 1976, pages 507-508).
