history
prehistory
The history of the hotel property goes back to 1625. Documents show that a farmer named Heinrich Lüdemann sold the so-called "Kätner Hof" in 1648 to the Nienstedter pastor Tobias Fabricius Schmidt. After several intermediate owners, the house came into the possession of Margaretha Catharina Burmester in 1765. She bequeathed it to her son Nicolaus Paridom Burmester, a confectioner . He had the weakness to greet every incoming and outgoing ship from the banks of the Elbe with three gunfire from a specially made cannon. On June 18, 1790, the cannon backfired and killed Burmester.
From 1791 linden terrace
The French landscape gardener Daniel Louis Jacques, who later called himself Louis Jacob in German, came to Hamburg in 1791 due to the turmoil of the French Revolution . He bought the property from the widow Burmester and married her in 1791.
On July 1, 1791, the house opened directly on the Elbe for the first time as an accommodation business with an attached wine bar. In addition, the landscape gardener Jacob is considered to be the founder of the park-like green spaces on the Nienstedtener Elbe slope and the famous linden terrace. Jacob was also friends with the champagne widow Cliquot-Ponsardin . He got an official license for the house from Copenhagen in 1802 , because the Holstein "Landgemeinde Nienstedten" (today Hamburg-Nienstedten ) was under the Danish crown like the city of Altona.
From the 1850s, the Jacob was mentioned as a sight in travel guides.
From 1900 hotel
There was talk of a hotel from the end of the 19th century. Well-known guests at this time were Carl Laeisz , Salomon Heine , Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm and the Imperial Chancellor Wilhelm Cuno . In 1902 the painter Max Liebermann stayed in the hotel for a longer period of time and painted views of the (even then) famous linden terrace. (Today you can see more than 500 originals by painters and graphic artists of the 19th and 20th centuries in the entire Hotel Louis C. Jacob.)
In 1922 the house was passed on to Louis Carl Matthias Jacob in the fifth generation. He was the first of the family who did not run the house himself, but left the management to Louis Jacob GmbH . There have been various tenants since 1925.
After the Second World War , the house became a transit hotel for officers and then a children's home . From 1949 the house was used as a hotel again.
With the tenant Jürgen Parbs the hotel found its old splendor again. Celebrities like Erich Kästner , Henry Miller , Zarah Leander , Maria Callas and Sepp Herberger were guests of the house. In 1956 the building, including the garden, was entered on the Hamburg list of monuments. Several scandals broke out in the 1960s and tenant Parbs gave up the hotel shortly afterwards.
In 1970 the inventory of the house was auctioned off, most of the objects were bought by the new tenant Armin Gustav and the Jacobs heirs with the right of first refusal. In 1975 Armin Gustav retired. The subsequent tenants changed quickly and the house soon showed signs of deterioration.
From 1992 luxury hotel
In 1992 the Hamburg entrepreneur Horst Rahe bought the house and developed the "old Jacob" into a modern luxury hotel . With the acquisition of further buildings on the opposite side of the Elbchaussee and the tunneling under the Elbchaussee, a building complex was created that met monument protection as well as modern requirements. During the renovation, hidden wall paintings were found under the plaster, which were exposed and restored. A historic ice cellar was also discovered, which had been used to store fresh goods from 1866. In 1996 the ice cellar was added to the list of monuments under number 433.
The hotel has been a member of The Leading Small Hotels of the World since 2002 .
The Hotel Louis C. Jacob has over 85 rooms and suites . The Jacobs Restaurant under head chef Thomas Martin was awarded two Michelin stars and 18 Gault Millau points . There is the linden terrace, the Kleines Jacob wine tavern , a bar , various event rooms and the historic ice cellar for events.
In 2008 the hotel opened the CARLS, a gastronomic offshoot in Hamburg's HafenCity across from the Elbphilharmonie . The concept includes a bistro , a brasserie - Northern German cuisine with a French accent - and the Louis - Restaurant & Bar , which can also be rented for events.
In July 2009, Robert Redford and Sybille Szaggars were married in the hotel Louis C. Jacob .
