Our history, a long tradition
The history of the Haus Vier Jahreszeiten in Wiesbaden goes back to the 19th century.
The "Hotel und Kurhaus Vier Jahreszeiten" was built by the famous town planner and architect Christian Zais in 1818. At that time there was nothing comparable in Wiesbaden. The house was large, elegantly built and furnished and had an unprecedented standard of luxury. Great personalities of the highest stayed in the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. From the Austrian Empress "Sissi" to the Tsar of Russia to German Emperor Wilhelm I.With the construction of the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten and the completely new city design for Wiesbaden, Christian Zais was establishing Wiesbaden as a spa city with an international reputation.
Unfortunately, many of his buildings were severely damaged or completely destroyed during the Second World War. In the “bombing night” February 2, 1945, the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten was unfortunately also irretrievably destroyed. However, after the war, a new visionary should let his plans become reality at the place of the former Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. Dr. Rudolf Herrmann had the unique idea to build an apartment house directly in the city centre in the Hessian state capital. The guests should live in luxuriously furnished apartments, in their "own four walls" but like in a hotel. This concept, which had previously been almost unknown in Germany, was a complete success. Television and major magazines reported throughout Germany on the new “Vier Jahreszeiten” luxury Boardinghouse in Wiesbaden
The Vier Jahreszeiten apartment building has a long tradition and is still owned by the same owners today. It has of course been modernized and extended over the years, so that it can still offer a unique range of furnished and unfurnished, luxurious apartments in a prime location by the Kurpark in Wiesbaden. The building is also registered as a cultural monument, which means that it is a listed building due to its historical and cultural significance. This status protects the architectural and cultural heritage of the building and ensures that changes are made with the utmost care. In addition, the Vier Jahreszeiten is generally accessible for scientific research, so that historians, architects and other interested parties have access to the history and architecture of the building and can contribute to its preservation and understanding.
