"A truly welcoming place in a historic location"

This mission statement of Barbarossa's founder Martin Miehle is still filled with life every day by great-great-grandson Florian Miehle, his wife Christiane and their daughters Katharina, Klara and Karlotta and the entire Barbarossa team. 

 We hope that you feel comfortable in our house. In every corner of the hotel you still sense the moving Constance history because of many historic details and decorations. You can easily explore the city on foot thanks to our perfect location in heart of the old town.  The "Obermarkt" used to be an important trading and transit centre.

Whilst the Middle Ages saw wood and wine being traded here as well as the execution of sentendes for breaking the law. In 1183 emperor Friedrich I., also known as Barbarossa, negotiated the peace contract with the lombardian cities around Milan at the Obermarkt.
