Barbarossa Hotel is the oldest hotel in Konstanz, Germany located on the historic Obermarkt square, where two old taverns, "Haus zum Egli" and "Haus zum Kemlin", were first documented in 1419. The later hotel name was after the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who concluded the Peace of Constance.[1]
In 19th century the hotel walls were decorated with paintings and today visitors can use the restaurant with seats also outside on the square.[2]
