Wettiner Hof (Bad Elster)
The Wettiner Hof was a former grand hotel in Bad Elster . It was built from 1907 to 1909, massive and partly in reinforced concrete.
history
Until the Second World War, the mighty Art Nouveau building was the first house on the square in which members of the Russian tsarist family are said to have stayed. After the Second World War , the house became the Karl Marx Sanatorium , which was closed in the 1980s. The roof was re-covered in the last few years of the GDR . In 2006 the city of Bad Elster bought the building in order to find a suitable investor itself.
After this did not succeed, the city council decided in January 2010 at the request of the FDP to demolish the building "if no sustainable concept for the revitalization of the ruin as a four-star hotel is found by December 31, 2010". After that, the hotel was demolished for € 625,000. 75% of the demolition was funded by state funds and met with strong national criticism, including the fact that security measures could have been carried out with less money.
