Regina Palace Hotel
The Regina-Palast-Hotel was a luxury hotel in Munich , Maximiliansplatz 5 / Max-Joseph-Straße, which existed from 1908 to 1975. It was then converted into Haus Regina , an office building with a restaurant .
history
The hotelier Alois Seethaler, owner of the luxury hotel Axelmannstein in Bad Reichenhall , planned a hotel in Munich from 1906 . The hotel was built - partly as a new building, partly as a conversion of an existing building - for A. Seethaler GmbH in 1907 according to plans by the architect Franz Lukas as an employee of the construction company by Karl Stöhr .
Hermann Volkhardt took over the hotel around 1908. The jeweler Karl Rothmüller had a jewelery shop there . The balls and dance teas were soon known in Munich. In April 1924, the first jazz broadcast came from here on a German radio station. In the 1920s and 1930s the dance sport club Gelb-Schwarz-Casino Munich had its events in the hotel. The chrysanthemum ball also took place here for a number of years. Jacques Rosenthal stayed in the hotel from 1935 to 1937 , Arthur Eichengrün from 1939 to 1940. The building was hit by bombs in 1944 during World War II .
After the war, the damaged facade was removed, only the porch to the entrance remained. In April 1946, the hotel was brought forward during the urban rubble clearance in order to get the hotel business going faster, and it was rebuilt with a new facade. Shortly afterwards, parts of the film Between Yesterday and Tomorrow with Hildegard Knef were filmed in the hotel .
From 1949 the carnival balls in the hotel were again an attraction and remained so until the 1970s. Celebrities like Henry Kissinger were guests at the hotel. A meeting of the Spanish opposition took place here in 1962. In 1971, an episode of the crime series Der Kommissar was filmed at this hotel ( episode 34 "The Dead of Room 17" ). By 1975 the hotel was run down by poor management.
House Regina (since 1975)
The LV 1871 bought the hotel in 1975 for 23 million DM and left it as a house Regina for 45 million DM converted to headquarters. Parts of the Regina house are rented out. Eckart Witzigmann had his restaurant “Aubergine” here from 1978 to the end of 1994 , which was the first German restaurant to be awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide . Today there are several bars and clubs next to the LV-1871 headquarters .
