Hotel Carmelites
.JPG)
The large, multi-storey Hotel Karmeliten stood in the old town of Regensburg until 2012 , northwest on Dachauplatz , with facades facing the southern Drei-Kronen-Gasse and Dachauplatz, western Speichergasse (extension of Maximilianstrasse ) and eastern Adolph-Kolping-Strasse.
In place of some buildings of the Carmelite Monastery and the later Carmelite Hotel with its own brewery, a building complex of 7,500 square meters was built there after 2012, called the "Palais Karmeliten am Dom" with a supermarket, a bakery and almost 180 apartments. The new building is slightly higher than the previous building and has one floor more.
The demolition of the old Hotel Karmeliten was initially only permitted on condition of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation that the façades with round arches that had existed since 1932 should be preserved. Since there was a risk that the new foundation needed to stabilize the old building facades could damage the Regensburg Roman Wall monument located in the ground , in the end approval was given to demolish the facades, since priority had to be given to the protection of the Roman ground monuments. The old and the new building stand on historically sensitive terrain, namely on the east wall of the Roman fort " Castra Regina ". The site of the old Carmelite brewery had already been the place where the 5 m long stone tablet with the founding inscription of the Roman legionary camp Castra Regina was found in 1873. This stone tablet was part of the east gate of the Roman camp, the Porta principalis dextra , and indicates the year 179 AD as the year the camp was founded. The plaque is one of the most important exhibits in the Regensburg Historical Museum and one of the most important Roman inscriptions north of the Danube.
During the construction work for the new “Palais Karmeliten am Dom”, archaeological excavations were carried out in January 2013 on a small area that was still relevant in spite of all previous measures and resulted in a surprise find. What was found was a fully plastic, high-quality, largely intact figure of a bronze horse, a find that attracted a great deal of public attention.
The friends of the old town of Regensburg criticized the demolition of the old Hotel Karmeliten and the new building project as "maximizing profit with the lowest possible investment volume".
history
In 1858 the brewer Franz Josef Bergmüller (1833–1890) became the new owner of the former Carmelite monastery brewery and expanded the brewery into a hotel. As the successor to his father, who also built the Parkhotel in Maximilianstrasse in 1888, his son Ludwig Bergmüller (1871–1930) took over the hotel after his father's death.
The Carmelite Hotel was sold in 2012 to the Regensburg real estate center, which had the traditional hotel, in which Marlene Dietrich , Ivan Rebroff and Gunther Sachs had stayed, demolished in favor of apartments and luxury apartments.
