The Hôtel de Bavière at Petersstrasse 25 was one of the largest and most comfortable hotels in Leipzig from 1768 to 1912 .

history

The property at Petersstrasse No. 25 belonged to the Preusser family from Leipzig from the 15th century until 1555 . An inn was operated here at that time, but no name has been passed down. In 1720 Geissler's court is mentioned .

In 1768, the landlord Reißing received the electoral approval for the house to be allowed to use the name Hôtel de Bavière ( i.e. Bayrischer Hof). There was no special relationship with Bavaria. In addition to de Bavière, de Trèves (Trier) and de Pologne had also been proposed in the motion , and the elector had chosen de Bavière. In 1772 a Johann Sebastian Müller advertised his Hôtel de Bavière. Later it was owned by Julius Kistner, who sold it to Wilhelm Redslob in 1838, who ran it until his death.

The hotel was developing well. With its 120 rooms, bathrooms, halls and the restaurant, it was one of the top class in Leipzig.

The Central Hotel before its demolition in 1912

Carl Weidinger wrote in Leipzig in 1860 - A guide through the city :

“ Of the large hotels, we have to call the Hotel de Bavière or the Bayrischer Hof (in Petersstrasse) the one that is most frequented by princely people and other distinguished travelers who find elegant furnishings and well-chosen hospitality here. "

On June 29, 1858, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV stayed at the hotel with the Queen and his entourage on a trip to a mountain cure. Here he also met the Saxon King Johann .

In November 1887 the house was renamed Hotel Central . In 1912 it was demolished because the Althoff department store was built on the property and the two neighboring ones to the south from 1912 to 1914 . After the damage from the Second World War was repaired, it became a Centrum department store , and since 1991 it has been a Karstadt department store .

A plaque at the Karstadt department store on Neumarkt announces that in 1801 Friedrich Schiller lived in the Hotel de Bavière.
