Stock exchange garden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Börsengarten was a club-based beer garden in Königsberg . Since 1830 the Börsenhalle Society has given regular concerts in the “Jardin de Berlin”. In 1833 the property was purchased and inaugurated as a stock exchange garden in 1855. The Börsengarten portal and building were built in 1880. For decades, the stock exchange garden was the meeting place and center of high society in Königsberg. Even Wilhelm I gave a reception in the Börsengarten the evening before his coronation. However, due to the German inflation from 1914 to 1923 , the merchants were no longer able to bear the costs of the property and sold the property in 1929. In 1930, the Park Hotel by architect Hanns Hopp was built on the same site. The modern building still exists and is to be run as a hotel again.
