Romantik Hotel zur Post
Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany · Independent · Near Luxury
In 1617 Michael Weiß, from a family of fishers on the Starnberger See, bought the market-square house in Fürstenfeldbruck where his descendants still keep a hotel. An inn is recorded from 1620, and from 1681 to 1923 the Weißes held the Thurn and Taxis post station. The building you see, a late-classical corner block with an oriel, went up in 1872 over cellars that survived a fire in 1704. On 18 March 1810 Marie Louise, riding to marry Napoleon, arrived by torchlight. One of the forty rooms is still named for her.

About Romantik Hotel zur Post
- At the 400-year mark in 2017, Ludwig Michael Weiß was the thirteenth generation. The family arms carry a fish, from a fishing lease at Ambach on the Starnberger See that is on record from 1280.
- In 1628 Elector Maximilian I ruled that Michael Weiß could pour wine only, after the older innkeepers of Bruck complained. The Romantik name dates from 2001. The rusticated ground floor of the facade was redone in 1965.
- The last post coach for Maisach left on Holy Saturday 1923. The post office stayed in the Weiß house until 1931, then moved to its own building. A garage was dug under the hotel at the start of 2021.
History
Michael Weiß bought the Moosmüller merchant house on the market square in 1617 and added four neighboring houses. An inn is documented from 1620. The family held the Thurn and Taxis post from 1681 to 1923. Austrian troops burned the building in 1704, during the War of the Spanish Succession, and the family rebuilt. The present late-classical block went up in 1872 over the old cellars and became a Gasthof. The Romantik name dates from 2001. The hotel counts 40 rooms and is still in the Weiß family.
