    Friedrichshof Palace was built from 1889 to 1893/94 as a widow's seat for the former German Empress Victoria (Kaiserin Friedrich) in the neo-Gothic Tudor style, who built it in honor of her late husband Friedrich III. "Friedrichshof" called. The Empress left the palace with the entire inventory, the various art collections and her written legacy to her youngest daughter, Landgravine Margarethe von Hessen, with the condition that Friedrichshof Palace and the parks be left unchanged. After the occupation of Kronberg on March 29, 1945, the castle was confiscated by the US Army and used initially as troop accommodation, later as an officers' club and temporarily as the residence of the US commander-in-chief in Europe, General Dwight D. Eisenhower. After necessary alterations and renovations made necessary by the US occupation, Schloss Friedrichshof was opened in 1954 as the "Schlosshotel Kronberg - Hotel Frankfurt". It is operated by Haus Hessen and is now one of the "Small Luxury Hotels of the World" and is categorized as a 5-star hotel. Large parts of the original furniture and works of art from the collection of Empress Friedrich can still be found in the rooms of the hotel. Their extensive library has also largely been preserved.
