Pipeline Cycle Path Bregenz–Lindau

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In May 2023, the final construction phase of the “pipeline” was opened to traffic as a bicycle route with a separate footpath, green spaces and improved public lake access. The bicycle road presents itself as a flawless asphalt carpet. The name comes from a “pipeline” through which oil was transported here until the 1990s.

Kaiser Beach

Highlight • Beach

In 1905, the “Edelsitz Maihof” was acquired by the later operator of the hotel, Georg Hauber († July 28, 1918)[2], from Baron von Pöllnitz-Frankenstein and the “Zum Anker” inn was acquired from Josef and Theresia Hutter. [3] In 1910, the north-west side wing was built according to the plans of the Bregenz master builder Otto Mallaun and the opening took place on July 22, 1910. The first expansion to include the south-facing wing was carried out in 1912 according to the plans of the architect Willibald Braun. The naming as “Kaiser-Strand-Palast-Hotel” was approved by Emperor Franz Joseph I himself.[4] In 1917, Emperor Charles I and his wife Zita visited the hotel. In 1917 Georg Hauber went bankrupt, the hotel was closed and reopened in 1918 with new participation. In 1919 it was expanded and operated as a Kurheim Strandhotel Lochau.

In 1925 it was sold to the Association of Municipal Officials in Baden for 600,000 marks[5] in order to set up a rest home for its members. From 1938, the hotel briefly served as emergency accommodation for refugees from the Sudetenland and in 1939 it was acquired by the German customs administration and converted into the Reich Customs School by 1940. From 1942 to 1945 the house served as a reserve hospital for the German Wehrmacht and from 1945 to 1953 for the French occupation troops stationed in Vorarlberg. From 1953 to 1997, the Austrian Federal Army was in the complex, now known as the “Rhomberg Kaserne” since 1967. (The landammann and captain Thomas Rhomberg (1572/74–1647) from Dornbirn fought against the Swedes at the Klause in Lochau in the Thirty Years' War and was killed.)

In 2005, the barracks were sold to private investors, renovated for around 45 million euros and expanded with additions such as a modern bathhouse (based on one from the hotel's early days). In 2010, hotel operations resumed as the “Seehotel am Kaiserstrand”.[6] On November 2, 2021, the bankruptcy of the operating company was announced in the media, and the hotel has been closed since then.[7] After redesigning the ground floor and the guest garden, the hotel was reopened in 2023.[8]
