Hotel Geiger, Former architectural monument in Bischofswiesen, Germany.
The Hotel Geiger complex consisted of two substantial buildings positioned on rising land, approximately 50 meters from the former Bundesstrasse 20.
Hugo Geiger, a retired customs inspector, established the hotel in 1866 by converting a small farmhouse into a guesthouse that expanded over subsequent decades.
During the nineteenth century, the hotel attracted numerous middle-class German travelers who sought refuge from industrial cities in the Bavarian Alps.
The establishment added the first local gas station in 1924 under Rudolf Geiger's management to accommodate the increasing number of motorized visitors.
After World War II, when the hotel served as a rest center for military personnel, future United States President John F. Kennedy stayed at the property.
