View of Drachenfels, Drachenburg Castle, and the Rhine from Petersberg

Those who enjoy the great view of the Rhine and the Siebengebirge can truly sniff historical air. History was made here for over 100 years. The 4711 perfume manufacturer Ferdinand Mülhens had this magnificent building built at the end of the 19th century. The house achieved its historic significance in the autumn of 1949 when Chancellor Konrad Adenauer negotiated the Petersberg Agreement with the Allied High Commission. In April 1954 the hotel reopened its doors. The federal government rented it during state visits (until 1973); the first official guest was Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia in November 1954. After Leonid Brezhnev's visit, the hotel closed for a long time in 1973. In 1985 it was extensively modernized for around 70 million euros and reopened in 1990 by the Steigenberger hotel chain. Since then, US President Bill Clinton has been a guest, Michael Schumacher married his Corinna there.
