Hotel Empress Augusta

The house was built in 1867 opposite the town's train station and was expanded in 1889. The tenant at that time named it Hotel Kaiserin Augusta after Augusta, the daughter of Maria Pawlowna and her husband Carl Friedrich of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. Around the turn of the century, the hotel was among the leading establishments in Weimar. In 1908, it passed from the hands of tenant Ernst Reinhardt to Richard Langsdorf. Under Langsdorf, the building was expanded with a southern wing and a covered terrace, which now serves as a winter garden. In 1927, it was marketed as "the largest first-class house in the square." At that time, Hotel Kaiserin Augusta had a hundred guest beds, a good kitchen, and an extensive wine list.
During World War II, the building was only slightly damaged, which is why it was used as an officers' club in the post-war period - now under the name Augusta. From 1951, it was part of the HO restaurants and was named Hotel International. In 1991, it was converted into a city and conference hotel. It then had 134 rooms, two restaurants, and the usual facilities for conferences. Initially, it was operated as an InterCity Hotel in cooperation with Steigenberger Hotels. Since 2004, it has been privately run again and bears the name Hotel Kaiserin Augusta once more.
