House CORFU, street Lesní 82/8

Sources from Felbinger's chronicle.
Construction history in more detail.

The CORFU house was built in 1844 by the Marienbad city on the monastery grounds as a building for storing fire props and tools, including fire hoses.

This was so-called "Feuerlösch-Requisiten - Magazin".

Next to it, the Jewish community built in 1861 the JEWISH SPA HOSPITAL (dn.Sion, no. 102) with a prayer house.

1870 Extension of a floor and establishment of a city hospital (Plan zum Aufbau eines I.Stockwerkes auf Das Feuer).

1893 Reconstruction and partial extension of the southern wing (Plan zum Anbau Wohn und Geschafshaus mit Remise und Stallgebaude).

Sometime in 1893, the house passed from the city property to: Hugo Fleischner 27.4.1841 (VI, Drmoul, Drmoul, Karlovy Vary Region) - 1922 (Mariánské Lázně).


The house was converted into an apartment building.
Hugo and Lola Fleischner had a butcher shop in the house, and Robert Fleischner, a merchant, lived there.

1895 Extension of the 2nd floor in the front wing.

1899 Extension of the rear wing (Plan zur Herstellung zwei Lader und einen Wagenschupfe).

1930 Bay window in the south facade.

In the 1920s, it no longer served this purpose and the building was used for some time as a private real grammar school.

The first house in Lesní Street is Villa GÖDÖLLÖ (now Ulrika, formerly Odessa, No. 139), but originally Villa Dobierschewský.

The famous virtuoso violinist Jan Kubelík lived here. During the war, the villa was a military infirmary.

Up on the slope stands the hotel ROYAL (No. 345). It was built in 1910. Before that, however, there used to be Mr. Weixelmann's gardening.

Before the Second War, the hotel was owned by Anna Thummerer and Luisa Fürst. During the war, Royal served as part of the hospital.

In 1920, a lower (4 class) real grammar school was established in Mariánské Lázně. 2 classes were located in the CORFU house and in the Jewish prayer house in Lesní street.


The photo shows the first version of the Corfu house. In the foreground is the Jewish hospital with a prayer room, which was opened in 1861. The photo is a maximum of a few years after 1861.

Year 1868

The fire brigade was founded in Mariánské Lázně in 1868. The original fire station was extended by an extension to the south facade and covered with a gabled roof. In 1870, the front (western) wing has been already built.
