Hotel Post

The Hotel Post is a monument on the town square of Burghausen in Upper Bavaria .

history

The house from the 16th century was stormed on October 16, 1742 by free corps fighter Franz Carl Cura during the War of the Austrian Succession . He and his followers had previously attacked an enemy officer patrol in Neuötting , swam through the Alz , and forcibly entered the city. Burghausen was then temporarily back in Bavarian hands.

For a long time, the building was home to the Zur Krone wine tavern , now the Hotel Post with 24 rooms, an inn and a beer garden .

building

The building is a four-story gable roof construction with an advance wall. The core of the surrounding walls is partly from the 2nd half of the 16th century. A barrel vault spans the dining room on the ground floor . In the rear building there is a groin vault in the hallway and in some rooms on the ground floor , probably from the beginning of the 16th century. In a room on the west wall, two round pillars made of tuff are walled in. A column on the first floor bears the date 1587. In 1945 the inn was badly damaged by aerial bombs and restored the following year. In 1965 the building was extended. A portrait of the Virgin Mary is attached to sheet metal in an oval niche on the facade . Above the ground floor there is a red marble slab with an inscription, which commemorates the events of 1742. The facade paintings, which were created in 1996 based on designs by Christian Goller , also have this theme.
