The Sauerhof in Baden near Vienna is a former residence and was used as a grand hotel until 2014 .

history

The building was first mentioned in a document in the 12th century.

In 1412 Hans der Flens was named the owner of the tower courtyard, and in 1467 Hans Röttinger was given the court.

Emperor Maximilian II bought the property as a residence for his son, the later Emperor Rudolf II. In 1583 it was sold to Georg Saurer von Sauerburg, treasurer and chief silver treasurer of the High and German Masters . In the purchase letter, the building [the Sauerhof] is also called Mayrhof or Rättingerhof. In the garden of the house there was a small game bath made of wood. In 1594 the farm was rebuilt and was called "Sauerhof" from then on.  

In 1683 the residence was completely destroyed during the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna . In 1697 the estate came into the possession of Bernadin Paselli von Siesberg. In 1713 Salomon bought Edler von Piazzoni, court chamber councilor under Charles VI. , the good. After his death in 1741, the widow married Carl Hieronymus Holler Edlen von Doblhoff (1697–1760) that same year. After the death of Anton (I) von Dobelhoff-Dier (1733-1810), who emerged from this connection, his sons Carl ("Charles") Doblhoff-Dier (1762-1837) and Ignaz Doblhoff (1776-1856) took over the property . 

The Sauerhof was built in 1820–1822 by Joseph Kornhäusel for Carl Freiherrn von Doblhoff-Dier as a hotel with a bathroom, restaurant and chapel, surrounded by an English garden. 

Ludwig van Beethoven , Carl Maria von Weber and Antonio Salieri, among others, were guests at the Sauerhof, where they ate lunch in the "Sauerhof Traiterie". Archduke Albrecht bought the building in 1863 and made it available to the Austrian officer corps as a military spa with 90 beds and 12 apartments .

During the First World War, the military hospital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Sauerhof was merged with the nearby Peterhof to form a medium-sized sanatorium in the years after 1918 .

After being used again as a military hospital, this time for the benefit of members of the German armed forces , the house came under Soviet occupation in spring 1945 and was devastated after its end in 1955 .

In 1960 the Main Association of Austrian Social Insurance Institutions (HVB) acquired the entire Sauerhof area with the intention of building a rheumatism center with around 300 beds. In 1964 the foundation stone was laid, but construction did not begin. Around 1968 HVB left the property to the Nö. Regional health insurance fund, which wanted to realize a smaller construction project and in this context submitted an application to the responsible ministry for the demolition of the Sauerhof, which was neither approved by the municipality nor by the Federal Monuments Office . As a result, a study by Professor Roland Rainer was supposed to open up various possibilities for new purposes, but none of the proposals made were implemented.

On June 23, 1972, the municipality of Baden decided to remove the building with the associated 18,900 m² from the Nö. Acquire regional health insurance. In mid-December of the same year, the house was sold to Willi and Roswitha Schorn, owners of the Würzburg travel agency Klinger, through the mediation of an architect from Baden. The new owners designed in 1976 to build a hotel at which the (partial) operations resumed on 1 May 1978, and on February 1, 1980 as "Grand Hotel Sauerhof" in the presence of the Federal Minister Hertha Firnberg and Josef Staribacher was inaugurated .

In 1984 the Schorn family   went bankrupt through no fault of their own and the company went with it. The adviser to the Sultan of Oman heard about it and acquired the ensemble. Originally the Sauerhof was supposed to be a music conservatory for students from Oman. These plans were never realized, so that the building will continue to be run as a hotel under different owners.

In February 2014 bankruptcy proceedings were opened and the hotel closed due to insufficient occupancy. After no new investor was found by November 2014, the furniture was auctioned at an online auction in December 2014. However, no buyer was found for the building itself by July 2015, so that the property with a plot of 8,000 m² was also threatened with an auction. The dedication should remain on hotel operation for the time being. In October 2015 the sale to the KYATT Group was announced, the Sauerhof was to be renovated and reopened as a five-star health hotel in August 2017. According to the current status (end of December 2018) the building rights negotiations will take place on February 27, 2019, the planned start of construction is in mid-April 2019. The five-star health hotel Sauerhof is to be reopened in autumn 2020.
