The two Patrician houses now the Hotel Kaiserhof were built parallel in 1898.
Each of these houses contained 3 flats each approximately 295sqm in size. The attic was used as servant quarters, the cellar was used for storage. Until World War II, it was occupied by Senators and people of high standing with their families. These houses were built on the way to the village Kronsforde, hence the name Kronsforder Allee.
During the chaos of post World War II and the following refugee crisis, these houses were confiscated and changed into smaller flats to house as many refugees as possible. In 1964, the last refugees were leaving the now neglected buildings. One year later, Mr. Helmut Klemm, a refugee from East Prussia himself, bought No. 13 Kronsforder Allee, which is now the "West Wing" of the Hotel Kaiserhof.
Mr. Klemm was at the time working as in der a Croupier in Travemünder at the Casino.
Searching for a use of their newly acquired property, the got the idea after a visitor to Lübeck asked Mrs. Klemm in town for a hotel. Ruth Klemm, having worked as a secretary on a big estate, was very well able to take care of all work related to this kind of business. After many month of renovating, the Hotel Kaiserhof was finally opened in Spring 1967. Where the name "Kaiserhof" came from, is not entirely clear. I have heard of two possible explanations.
