Hector Berlioz Room – Park-Hotel Erbprinz in Weimar

The German text on this postcard gives the dates of performances of Berlioz's works in Weimar between 1843 and 1863, conducted either by Berlioz himself or by Liszt. In his visits to Weimar from 1843 to 1863 Berlioz stayed at the Hotel zum Erbprinzen, the predecessor of the Park-Hotel Erbprinz. The original hotel dates back to 1737. It was rebuilt in the 20th century and demolished in 1989. See Berlioz in Weimar for a detailed account of Berlioz and his relationship with Weiamr.
