Welcome to the Buntes Haus Seiffen – Hotel Erbgericht!

The Hotel Buntes Haus is the oldest hotel in Seiffen. It was founded 480 years ago as a inheritance court. Originally court processes took place here – with the judge also being a fully licensed innkeeper at the same time! A tradition that was handed over from generation to generation. And so it happened that Seiffen residents have been gathering within these venerable walls for hundreds of years. The 1920’s an increasing number of summer visitors and winter athletes discovered this beautiful health resort. The buses stopped right up in front of the probate hotel court – and the guests loved to stay here. Even today, all vacationers take benefit of the hotel’s central location at the heart of this resort town. The Hotel Buntes Haus is still a popular meeting place for residents and visitors from near and far – you never know whom in the world you’ll meet here.

The history of the court of inheritance

raute

1553

the court of inheritance was mentioned for the first time. The inheritance of the judge of Seiffen is located directly in the village center on the crossroad of the two main traffic routes between Olbernhau – Deutscheinsiedel and Neuhausen – Deutschneudorf.

The owner was endowed with the lower jurisdiction as well as the brewing and serving rights. This was tied on the house and ground. A new owner needed al conformation from the landlord. The court of inheritance developed into the center of political life in the village. The oldest court book dates back to 1545 and records contracts retrospectively.
1542

The first judge known by name is Lorenz Steffen.

He was holding the position from 1542 (or earlier) until 1552. He presumably took over the inheritance court property a few years earlier.

In der Vorweihnachtszeit waren direkt vor dem Hotel ein Glühweinstand und Imbissstände aufgebaut. Somit sind wir direkt aus der Haustür in den Weihnachtstrubel gekommen.
