Not only the hotel but also our family can look back on a long history and tradition in the hotel
business of Kiel. Everything began over 100 years ago The story begins in the year of 1902. In this year the head waiter Heinrich Hamann established the European Hof in Sophienblatt 38 near the central station in Kiel. This hotel distinguished itself through noble elegance by the understanding of the imperial times. The interior was decorated for both comfort and style. The hotel;s reputation was further enhanced by the number of guests including military officials, private scholars, gentry and merchants from every corner of the world. Therefore, an additional wing was planned in 1904. Thanks to his flourishing
business, Hamann was able to purchase the neighboring lot, Sophienblatt 40, in 1906 and a year later another, Ringstrasse 6. Due to difficulties arising with the Kieler authorities, Hamann;s plans for the new hotel development in the Ringstrasse 6 were slowed down. On May 5, 1911 the Hotel Berliner Hof was finally opened. The new hotel was greatly praised and limitlessly recommended to Kiel;s public. The following years until the beginning of the 30;s were a stagnant time for the hotel. With the troubles of World War 1 and the resulting financial problems, no further expansions were undertaken. Finally, in 1935, Hamann was able to put imperative improvements in both the Europaeischer Hof and the Berliner Hof into effect. By 1940 a generation change started to become evident for the hotel. Hamann and his wife slowly pulled out of the hotel
business and let daughter Kaethe, one of their 5 children, take over more and more of the
business. Hamann died on May 2nd, 1942 at the age of 70 and his wife followed him on October 18, 1943. From then on their daughter Kaethe took over the whole
business, the first years of which stood under the mark of WW1. On April 5, 1944 an air raid hit the Berliner Hof destroying most of it. And on the 26th of April 1945 the Europaeischer Hof was also his by several bombs. After the end of the war, the reconstruction of both hotels progressed slowly, due to financial and raw material limitations, and could only partially be opened. During the course of the following years the rebuilding of both houses advanced until in 1950 the Europaeischer Hof was reopened in new design. The constructions on the Berliner Hof were finished in October of 1953. After Kaethe;s death her sister Marie, who had stood by her side for the past 6 months, took over the
business. Unfortunately, during the market boom in the 60s, the hotel Europaeischer Hof had to be given up in 1965. As a consequence, the Berliner Hof advanced to the main building and key
business for the family. In the trend of the days it became a hotel garni, serving only
breakfast.
