A weary door for the weary traveller in #Görlitz.

As you might guess, this hotel, Görlitzer Hof, has seen better days. Built in the late 1870s, it closed its #doors in 1992 and has been a lost place ever since. However, the #door to a brighter future may soon open again! A local investor has purchased the building and plans to restore it – just as they have successfully done with other buildings in Görlitz – though perhaps not as a hotel. Let's hope they preserve the marvellous door ornaments.
Until then, you might be able to explore the site on a Lost Places tour led by a local historian. According to a recent newspaper article, tours could include this building from March 2026, though I couldn't find any info on the tour operator's website. If it is included, it must be a stunning sight, with many of the #hotel rooms still featuring their original wallpapers and curtains.

A quirky spring window in #Görlitz for #FensterFreitag 🌻🌻🌻
I don't remember what the building was, but I think there was an office behind the #window.

Bei dieser #Goldschmiede in #NaumburgAnDerSaale fand ich schon das #Bogenfenster über der Tür sehr kunstvoll gearbeitet. ... Ganz schön viel Naumburg die letzten Tage, ist aber auch ein hübsches Städtchen.

I thought this #goldsmith's in #Naumburg had a very impressive arched #window above its entrance. ... I know, I've been posting about Naumburg rather a lot lately, but it really is a pretty little town.

Old #Hansa glory in #Bremen for #Doorsday 🚢

This #door is part of a gigantic building complex built in 1913, which combines multiple addresses. It is located on the #Schlachte embankment overlooking the river Weser. Today, the building belongs to the Handelskrankenkasse (HKK, a health insurance fund) and is also known under the name 𝘏𝘢𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦.

Previously it was known as the "𝘏𝘢𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘧𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘩𝘳𝘵𝘴-𝘎𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘧𝘵 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢" (DDG Hansa was a major German shipping company) and "𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘴". The DDG Hansa had it built as their main kontor, incorporating several old houses into one complex. This beautiful #Renaissance #portal was preserved and re-integrated by the company. The building was heavily damaged in WW2, but restored and modernized in the 1950s, when other companies moved in to use the office space. One of them was the #HKK, which later bought the whole building in the 1980s after DDG Hansa went bankrupt and was dissolved.

I assume the years in the inscription refer to the founding year of the HKK's predecessor (1760), the building of the kontor (1913), and the year the ownership of the building was transferred to the HKK (1982).
