history

Beginnings as Hotel Hailmann

The property was built around 1830/40 as a three-storey classical building by Adam Hailmann, who gave the local tourism and spa industry important impulses. The Collard house , together with the Kaiserhof Victoria Am Kurgarten , the Westendhaus in Bismarckstraße , the Ballinghaus in Martin-Luther-Straße and the Boxberger house in Untere Marktstraße, are among the spa town's distinctive Biedermeier buildings.

In July 1856, the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini completed a spa stay in Hailmann's property, although the entry in the spa list included a wrong first name ("Joachim"), a wrong job title ("Knight of several high orders") and Rome instead of Paris is called. A owned by York New Carnegie Hall befindliches album page , an Italian dedicatory poem and a letter of thanks to the Head of Rossini Kurmusik for its support of Rossini's music reminiscent of the residence of the composer in Bad Kissingen. In 1993 a memorial plaque was placed on the property.

In 1857, Hailmann commissioned the sculptor Michael Arnold to set up the Hygieia sculpture group . With the sculpture, Hailmann wanted to create a traffic-calmed zone in front of the property. When Arnold was commissioned to create a statue of the king at the same location on the occasion of the death of King Maximilian II Joseph in 1864 (the later Maximilian II Joseph monument ), the Hygieia was built in front of the later location of the 1910 / 11 erected foyer . After it was put into storage during the Second World War , the Hygieia was initially set up in Hausen (now part of Bad Kissingen) and later at its current location on Lindesmühlpromenade in Luitpoldpark .

The property on the side facing Ludwigstrasse housed a bakery run by the Zoll family. Adam Zoll took over the bakery on December 16, 1893 from his father Hermann Zoll, who had previously opened a bakery in Schloßstraße on May 16, 1863. The ancestors of the Zoll family once worked as millers in Westheim and later in the Fuchsmühle in Arnshausen (now part of Bad Kissingen); a street in the Kissingen district is now called Oberer Zollweg after the Zoll family .

The estate under Gustav Collard

In 1884 , Gustav Collard from Venlo , the Netherlands , became the new owner of the Hotel Hailmann . Before that he was a partner in the Russian Court (today Kurhausstrasse 9 ); after leaving there in 1883, he has now acquired the property that is now named after him. The purchase price was 565,000 marks after Hailmann's widow Anna Dempster Gorden had initially asked for 600,000 marks.

Around 1900 the property became a Grand Hotel under Gustav Collard . During the Biedermeier period , it housed C. Jügels literary magazine, a branch of Carl Christian Jügels bookstore in Frankfurt. Before the construction of the Regentenbau opposite , one had a direct view of the Franconian Saale from the main front .

In addition to the Kissingen bakers Memmel and Messerschmitt , the writer Theodor Fontane also mentioned the Zoll baker family in a poem that he entered in the city's Golden Book in 1890 .

From 1907, the Munich-based architect Max Littmann tried to acquire the Collard House . The state of Bavaria wanted to acquire the property in order to round off the area in connection with the regent building that was still to be built, but this project failed due to lack of money; it was not acquired by Littmann. Possibly Littmann wanted to include the Collard house in a larger overall concept, which he later implemented when building the house at Ludwigstrasse 93 .
