All historical data was selected and assembled within the course of the research according to generally valid criteria. The declared aim of the book was to provide a general historical overview with the highest entertainment value. This undertaking thus makes no claim to completion. In this context, we owe the entire management of the hotel our thanks for the way in which they never let the allure of legend overcome the reality of the historical facts.
