The Kayser's Hof (also: Kaysers Hof) is a hotel building from the middle of the 19th century, registered as a cultural monument in the city center of Flensburg .

The name refers to the original Kayser family. At the end of the 20th century, the building with the address Schiffbrücke 32 was an attraction as an Eroscenter in the historic red-light district of Flensburg between Oluf-Samson-Gang and Herrenstall . After extensive renovations, the Hotel Hafen Flensburg opened there on December 1, 2016 .

history

Hotel Kaysers Hof

The late Classicist house was built around 1850, probably 1852/53. The Kayser family opened a hotel there on May 1, 1853. During this time Frederick VII is said to have moved into rooms there together with his third wife Louise Countess Danner . Friedrich VII visited Flensburg several times and spent the night in various places in the city, including the Borgerforeningen . The innkeeper Marcus Hinrich Kayser, who ran the hotel for almost four years, then sold the building to the “royal military budget”. From 1857 the Kaysers Hof was the seat of the second Danish General Command . After the German-Danish War of 1864, the building initially served as a military hospital , similar to the government courtyard on Holm . Wilhelm II , who inaugurated the Mürwik Naval School on November 21, 1910 , did not spend the night in the building. What was in the building at that time is unclear.

Eroscenter

From 1981 there was a brothel in the former hotel , which by 1983 was converted into an Eroscenter with an attached "Kontakthof". In the 1990s, when the building slowly fell into disrepair, the Eroscenter ceased operations and the Sunny discotheque (later referred to as Speicher until it was closed ) opened. The monument conservationist Lutz Wilde assessed the building in 2001 with the wording: "Today disfigured by renovations".

At the request of Flensburg City Hall began preparations to build a 4-star - hotels in the old red light district . The first thing involved was the demolition of the Speicher discotheque in the backyard, which had a positive image. During the reconstruction, the clients decided that a large part of the dilapidated building would have to be rebuilt. In the front area, where the actual, former Kaysers Hof and the former Eroscenter stood, the construction process envisaged a complete gutting, held by a 50-ton steel corset, and a deep foundation . This was followed by the conversion to hotel rooms; in addition, buildings for the administration and common rooms were built.

At the beginning of 2016, after a naming competition, the future operators decided that the new hotel should open with the new name “Hotel Hafen Flensburg”. A group of investors from Flensburg, consisting of the building contractor Hermann Höft , the businessman Norbert Erichsen from FFG and the building materials dealer Boy Meesenburg , celebrated the rebuilding of a “modern hotel with a historical core” with a topping-out ceremony on April 14, 2016, five months after the foundation stone was laid took place on December 1, 2016. The hotel has 69 rooms available for guests who are looked after by 28 hotel employees. The new hotel restaurant , which was initially to bear the historical name of Kaysers Hof , was given the name Columbus , just like an inn in the Herrenstall , whose building had been demolished as part of the renovation and replaced by a modern building.
