development

In 1959 Werner Dornieden founded a hotel in Mönchengladbach as a “model house for hotel interior design” under the brand “Dorint” (short for DORnieden INTernational). From the end of the 1960s, Dorint AG expanded, and in 1981 a first store was opened abroad. The Dorint hotels served the upper market segment and were awarded four or five stars. They were in newly built, high-quality properties, for example in Mainz in a large property developed and built by Hochtief above the city with historical casemates that served as a restaurant.

At the end of the 1990s, the Dorint Group fell into a crisis in an environment that was generally difficult for the hotel industry. According to reports in the press, the simultaneous function of the fund initiator Herbert Ebertz as a real estate developer and financier of the real estate on the one hand and the main shareholder of Dorint AG as the operator of the houses on the other was a reason for the crisis.

After the French Accor Group took part in 2002, the properties were split up between Accor (52 hotels) and the previously founded Neue Dorint GmbH (then 40 hotels) at the beginning of 2007.

The sole shareholder of the new GmbH is HONESTIS AG, based in Cologne, which is led by Dirk Iserlohe (board member). Since the end of 2007, the former co-shareholders of the previous initiator company, Karl Bartel and Herbert Ebertz, who died in 2013, have no longer been actively involved in the business and have no longer joined the company holding company that was founded on January 1, 2008.

In 2017 Neue Dorint GmbH was renamed Dorint GmbH .
