A special place

We wanted to create something exceptional with the Hotel Zur Post. A place of inspiration and pleasure alike. That’s why we build a bridge between a traditional Westphalian Restaurant and a modern boutique hotel. Art plays an important role for us. Because, according to Picasso, art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. We maintain hospitality and cuisine at a high level without losing our down-to-earth attitude. Your well-being is most important. That’s what we stand for, that’s what the Hotel Zur Post stands for. Thus we created a special place, that is worth visiting.

History

The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1752. The name Hotel Zur Post goes back to that time. The Prussian Post already used the building as a station for horse-drawn stagecoaches. A post horn from this period 1758 can be viewed in our lobby. Until the 1980s, a branch of the German Federal Post Office was located in one wing of our building. Long-term owners Anna and Bernhard Kerkhoff, who made the hotel a focal point in Riesenbeck from 1933 to 1976, shaped the expansion of the hotel. A comprehensive renovation took place in 1980. After a fundamental expansion of the building, the Hotel Zur Post was opened in 2019 with an upgraded standard as a 4-star hotel. It is now run as an exclusive boutique hotel dedicated to the subject of art and letters.

Letters and postcards

The Hotel Zur Post lives up to its name. In the time of emails and WhatsApp, letters and postcards are in danger of disappearing. That is why we show the imperishable beauty of real mail in our rooms. Letters from people are presented, who have something to say. They are among the most famous personalities in history. The range is wide. It expands from Goethe to Elvis and from Lady Diana to Picasso. Probably a unique collection. Reading them and learning the story behind, is a special pleasure. It quickly becomes clear that letters are an important cultural asset, that must be preserved. You can discover 60 letters and postcards in the Hotel Zur Post, that are so fascinating, astonishing, funny, dazzling, strange or sad that you can hardly get rid of them.
