stuben
"Stuben" is the plural form of "Stube," meaning "rooms" or "parlors" in English, often referring to cozy living spaces.
Here, 'stuben' denotes a peculiar context where it suggests brushing or cleaning, probably influenced by the notion of tidying up a room (Stube).
Ich stubte den Teppich im Wohnzimmer, um ihn sauber zu machen.
I stubbed the carpet in the living room to clean it.
In this sentence, 'Stuben' refers to specific rooms (in this case sitting/dining rooms) suggesting areas within the restaurant.
Hunde dürfen nicht in die Stuben des Restaurants.
Dogs are not allowed in the sitting rooms of the restaurant.
The term is here part of a compound word 'Stubentiger,' meaning house cat, indicating a playful metaphor where 'Stuben' ties to the indoor ('Stube' as living room) habitat of the cats.
