Welcome to Hotel Sachsenhof Berlin

We welcome you to our traditional Berlin residence built in the 20th century, near the subway station Nollendorfplatz.

Four different subway lines will bring you to the main sights of Berlin.

In less than 10 minutes you can walk to the famous department store KaDeWe and the shopping mile Tauentzienstraße/Kurfürstendamm.

Centrally situated, but peaceful, Hotel Sachsenhof is more than just a typical city hotel.

60 rooms with modern facilities await you and your guests.

Check-in:

The rooms are available from 3pm.
If the room has already been cleaned, an earlier check-in is possible.

Check-out:

Guests are asked to vacate their rooms by 12.00pm. For a late check-out please contact the reception. Guests have the possibility of storing their luggage at the hotel.

History:

At the beginning of the 20th Century the hotel, under the name „Hotel Koschel“, was purchased by Heinrich Münch and was soon renamed the Hotel Sachsenhof.

Heinrich Münch was a close friend of the brother of the poet Else Lasker-Schüler and so she moved to the hotel in 1918.

In a letter she described her room as „the first stroke of luck with living places“, but in another as an „ice chamber in the winter“.

Else Lasker-Schüler		   I live in Sachsenhof
In the most beautiful hotel in Berlin
And read about the disaster
Namely, of my ruin.
That I sell envelopes
for 5 Marks –well after all
My dear friend, don’t you know
What and who I am?

In those years the hotel was very popular with artists and writers. Whilst the poet was in residence the writers Walter Hasenclever, Theodor Däubler and the artist Oskar Kokoschka lived here too.

From here Ernst Rohwolt prepared the foundation of his world famous publishing house in Potsdamer Straße.

Emil’s Detectives pursue a thief into a hotel at Nollendorfplatz.
The hotel had served the near resident Erich Kästner as a template.

The past is kept alive.
The Hotel Sachsenhof is a station on many literary city tours.
Children on the traces of „Emil and the Detectives“ come in the hotel to ask for the thief Mr. Grundeis. 		  Erich Kästner

And perhaps you too can imagine Else Lasker-Schüler or one of the other former residents walking up the beautiful old stairway towards their rooms.
