The year 1900: population growth and the dawn of new transportation technologies rendered the old medieval cores of European cities too small. The old city walls were mostly pulled down, large boulevards and whole new city quarters were built just outside the historical towns. Railway networks started to connect the major cities and the railway stations were built right in the middle of the new and developing quarters.
The building that today hosts the Adlerhof is a nice testimonial of these exciting times. Its architecture and interior design, from the inner courtyard to the beautifully decorated facade or the ornamented café/breakfast room still reflect the turn of the century spirit.
