Several mistakes

I'm afraid some of the given information in this article is not correct or at least not historically confirmed:

  • "Barbarossa Hotel is the oldest hotel in Konstanz" - that's possible and even probable, but not proved. We know, it was a tavern with dancing floor in 1419 already and it is converted into a hotel after 1874.
  • "In 19th century the hotel walls were decorated with paintings" - no, these are the walls of the house "Zum hohen Hafen" next to the main Barbarossa building "Zum Kemli(n)". The hotel walls are light yellow without any pictures.
  • "Key people: Florian Mehle (manager)" - the family name is Miehle.
  • "Clock on the hotel wall" (picture 1) - the clock is on a small tower on the roof of the hotel.
  • "Painting in the hotel" (picture 2) - no, this is a part of the wall decoration of the house "Zum hohen Hafen" (see above) - actually there is a picture on the wall inside the hotel, but that one is a sgraffito about the Peace of Constance (created by late Constance artist Hans Sauerbruch).
