History
9 dates, written by Grand Hotels of the World from the sources below.
Count Kraft of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein creates a fenced hunting reserve with a pleasure lodge; the Thirty Years’ War later destroys it.
Count Johann Friedrich II, later Prince of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein, builds the new hunting lodge, used as a guesthouse for the princely family.
The village of Tiergarten is renamed Friedrichsruhe; a pleasure garden is laid out in 1783.
The House of Hohenlohe-Oehringen moves its seat to Silesia and visits Friedrichsruhe only occasionally.
The lodge is sold to the Deutsche Arbeitsfront; during the war it serves as a warehouse and arms depot but survives undamaged.
Having returned from Neuenstein around 1950, the princely family opens a small hotel in the lodge and its outbuildings; an annex follows in 1963.
The gourmet restaurant wins a Michelin star, then two stars from 1979 to 1983 under chef Lothar Eiermann.
The Würth Group buys the estate; a spa opens at the end of 2008.
Chef Boris Rommel takes charge of the gourmet restaurant.
