History

The “Chemitzer Hof” hotel was opened on 7th October 1930. The hotel built by the graduate engineer Prof. Dr. Heinrich Straumer in Bauhaus style was only available again to guests though after the Second World War in 1948. In 1954 it came under direction of the state trade organisation and in 1965 it was elected as an Interhotel (DDR hotel chain).
Since 1992 the hotel belongs to the Günnewig Hotels && Restaurants group, which renovated the building over a period of nine months.
The restaurant, ballrooms and attractive lobby were resurrected according to original building plans. What remains is everything that has always defined the nobility and uniqueness of the hotel: the breath of magnificent architecture in marble, brass and sandstone.

Bauhaus, renaissance, Jugendstil and industrial architecture are all united in the new city centre.
