About our house
The villa built in 1903 was – until the World War II, used as the Swedish consulate by the grandfather and was also the birthplace of the present owner. After 1945 the house was occupied by the communists, then expropriated by the GDR and restituted in 1991 to the Joop-family.
Ursula and Bernd Joop converted the old villa into a small luxury hotel, putting in lots of ideas and efforts to restore, extend and equip the property.
By opening 1993 they both - with no experience in the hotel business but with management background in industries – made a dream come true to design and run a little hotel according to own imaginations.
