The Guest House of the Senate of Hamburg (German: Gästehaus des Hamburger Senats) is a villa on the Außenalster in the Hamburg borough of Uhlenhorst. It was built in 1868 as a residence for building materials trader Johann Friedrich Krogmann. Designed by Martin Haller, the villa has two and a half floors and white plaster facades.[1] After Krogmann's death it was sold to merchant Adolf Oetling in 1880.[2]
The building was designated a Kulturdenkmal (cultural heritage site) by the city of Hamburg in 1958.[3] In 1965 it became the guest house for "high-ranking and highest-ranking" guests of Hamburg, first accommodating Elizabeth II and her husband. Other notable guests include Leonid Brezhnev, the Dalai Lama, Jassir Arafat, Henry Kissinger and Donald Trump.[4]
The building was renovated in 1986 for 2.5 million mark. The internal decor was influenced by Christa von Dohnanyi, the wife of then-mayor Klaus von Dohnanyi, and features bright colors, mostly white, with rich stucco ornaments.[5]
