The Hotel Zum Riesen still stands in Germany today. The photo and text below were originally printed in 1910 when it was labelled as the oldest hotel in Germany.
The text below the photo reads:
“In Miltenberg on the Main stands what is believed to be the oldest hostelry in Germany, the Hotel Zum Riesen. The date of its building is not known, but in 1158 the Emperor Frederick I. lodged there, and in the many years of its existence it has sheltered numerous other princes. In 1518 Martin Luther was a guest of the hotel when on his way to Heidelberg. The inn, still occupied, is a great attraction for tourists.”
