Hotel Adlon: Deadline for Adlon sale expires today – What happens now?
After decades, Anno August Jagdfeld wants to dissolve the Adlon-Fonds and sell the famous hotel. This can only happen if around 4000 investors agree with a large majority. This is not certain.
Düsseldorf - If Anno August Jagdfeld's plan to sell the Hotel Adlon succeeds, it could mark the end of a significant chapter in Berlin's real estate history on this Thursday, August 16th. The 79-year-old entrepreneur constructed the iconic hotel adjacent to the Brandenburg Gate, the very site where the remnants of the old Adlon stood along the Berlin Wall for decades.
Jagdfeld's venture was not alone, as he successfully raised over €200 million from more than 4,000 investors through two stages. This capital is held in a fund called "Fundus-Fonds Nr. 31." The fund's prospectus proudly states that only a few hotels in the world can compare to the Adlon. Even former German President Roman Herzog attended the hotel's grand opening in 1997.
The prospectus promises a four percent return on the invested capital, but payouts have often fallen short of this expectation in subsequent years.
