The spacious Room No. 305 comprises a seating and reception space and a sleeping area. The precious, restored original furniture from the old Hotel Greif complete the works by the artist Brigitte Mahlknecht.

Both in her oil and egg tempera paintings, as well as in her sketches the artist brings to life for the most part cosmic spaces in which she narrates something similar to the creation story, simultaneously and on various levels. In Mahlknecht’s work exuberantly flourishing constructs and figure constellations, lines, ciphers and symbols populate utopian maps in which everything appears to be in a flux of change, of being and becoming.

On her two canvases above the seating group and the bed and in her photograph of a half-shelled egg (for her the picture of a short-lived sculpture) she attempts, in her own words, to ‘scrutinise the visible and the world of the familiar with forms and symbols which I myself have still not discovered’. In an individual, humorous manner, as an artist she fathoms the latitude between one’s own existence and the challenges imposed by the world, constantly anew.

Added luxuries include the private sauna in the bathroom and the inspiring view of the bustling Walther-Platz.
