Can Spirit of Old Hotel Give Berlin New Life?
BERLIN — Talking to retired Kellermeister Lothar Wrosch, the grit, traffic and pardon-our-dust signs of modern Berlin slip out of mind and you can almost hear the clopping of horses’ hooves and feel the cool, damp air of a turn-of-the-century wine cellar.
Wrosch spent his youth tending the vintages in the vast cave of the Hotel Adlon, between-the-wars Berlin’s answer to the Ritz or the Plaza, and he is proud to tell of it.
To this day, he has kept his dogeared wine lists. He can sketch a floor plan of the Keller and is prepared to let a visitor in on the secrets of caring for wine in the days before wooden casks gave way to glass bottles and steel tanks: Remove the sediment by dissolving a sturgeon’s bladder in the barrel; get rid of a burgundy’s bite by whipping in egg whites.

The Adlon History
The Emperor and Empress strode through the grand ingång of this new building, followed by the princess, princes and the entire royal household. It was not simply the opening of a hotel; it was more like an act of state. It is hard to imagine a more grandiose opening ceremony. Wilhelm II, who was far ahead of his time when it came to media relations, inaugurated Berlin's most stately world-class hotel, his hotel, at what was prime time in those days. Perfect he barked enthusiastically in his usual Prussian manner, and who would dare argue? The Adlon was thus ennobled, and the over 100-year history begins.
Let us take you on a journey through the history of Hotel Adlon!
