Wald Hotel

Front and back, winter and summer, images from the past

The century old Wald Hotel and last remaining original Sommerberg building will soon be a distant memory. Bulldozers and diggers have moved in to demolish the old wooden building to make way for a new restaurant and hotel.

Demolition Day 1

Today the empty hotel silently succumbs to the mechanical arms of noisy demolition tractors.

Hotel interior (lower restaurant)

This recent photo shows the lower restaurant area of the Sommerberg hotel. Although the restaurant is not in use and has hardly seen a customer in the last 10 years the exotic décor has survived largely intact.

The ceiling is particularly impressive with an art deco influenced relief pattern based on a foliage motive.
