In Dortmund, Germany, the city is gearing up for the Euro 2024 semi-final match between England and the Netherlands. As fans prepare to flock to the city’s bars and pubs, one particular establishment stands out – The New Crown, owned by Paul Moss.
What makes The New Crown unique is the fact that it is a British pub located in the heart of Germany. Originally from Bridlington, East Yorkshire, the pub was transported to Dortmund in 2019, complete with all its original fixtures and fittings. Paul Moss, the pub’s owner, decided to make this bold move due to his distaste for the typical aesthetic of German bars, which he describes as “sterile, shiny, and covered in chrome.”
Despite facing challenges during the pandemic, The New Crown has managed to survive and thrive, attracting both English expats and locals alike. Moss welcomes England fans with open arms, inviting them to come and experience a taste of home in the heart of Germany. He hopes that the pub will serve as a gathering place for fans during the tournament, offering a familiar atmosphere and plenty of beer.
With its old mahogany bar and English flags decorating the beer garden, The New Crown offers a unique experience for those looking to support the Three Lions in style. Moss is excited about the prospect of hosting English supporters, both visitors and residents, and is looking forward to creating a lively and festive atmosphere for the matches.
As England prepares to take on the Netherlands, fans can rest assured that they have a home away from home at The New Crown. Whether you’re craving a pint of beer or a lively atmosphere to cheer on your team, this British pub in the heart of Germany has got you covered. So come on down, grab a drink, and soak in the unique charm of The New Crown during the Euro 2024 semi-final.
