Gerbermuhle

The Hotel Gerbermühle is a logical extension of the concept devised by tenants Micky Rosen and Alex Urseanu that envisages service on an individual and personal basis in place of large-scale servicing. The rooms have all those facilities that the discerning guests expect of a modern hotel.

Johann Jakob von Willemer was a Frankfurt banker and author. As a patron of the Frankfurt theatre, Goethe was his greatest role model and a close friendship soon developed. He was already a wealthy man at the age of 24 and leased the Gerbermühle as his country residence on the River Main. After two marriages and 4 children he met his third wife, Marianne Jung. Von Willemer paid 2000 guilders so that the 16 years old Viennese dancer and actress could leave the stage and go and live in his household as his foster daughter. Goethe was a frequent guest at the Gerbermühle and worked closely with Marianne on literary texts. He wrote rapturously of “moonlight and sunsets….on Willemer’s mill…. infinitely beautiful”. The 18 year old Marianne presumably became the lover of the 42 year old Willemer and the childless liaison was legalised after 12 years. When Willemer suffered a stroke at the age of 77, Marianne looked after him. She survived him by 22 years.
