Hotel Petersberg (Germany)

The Hotel Petersberg is a former hotel in the Siebengebirge. It was opened in 1892. Although it was visited by the higher European nobility, it did not have economic success. In 1911 the ownership changed and between 1912 and 1914 the hotel was rebuilt at the behest of the the new owner. 

After World War II the Hotel Petersberg housed the Allied High Commission for Germany. In September 1949 the Occupation Statute was issued there and later that year Chancellor Konrad Adenauer signed there the Petersberg Agreement, which extended the rights of the Federal Government of Germany. Later the hotel was used as Federal Guest House of the German Federal Government.
