Tips from the Community

Kristian
December 11, 2025, Hotel Alte Post, Nagold

The “Posthotel zur Sonne” (Post Hotel at the Sun) was built in 1697 as one of the first larger buildings outside the Upper Gate on the Vorstadtplatz (Suburb Square) by butcher, innkeeper, and mayor Johann Philipp Deublin. In the 18th century, there was already a royal route for coaches that led from Stuttgart via Nagold to Freudenstadt and Strasbourg. In 1807, King Frederick established a post office in the Gasthaus zur Sonne. A stable for changing horses was added in 1812. At times, up to 50 animals were housed there. In 1898, the business moved to a new post office building on Leonhardstraße. Under Paul and Emma Luz, the post office was transformed into a hotel. During renovations in 1906, running water and electricity were installed. Professor Robert Nachbauer from Stuttgart had the magnificent half-timbering in the Franconian style uncovered and designed the artistically significant inn sign. `` . ... . After taking over the hotel in 1950, Karl-Friedrich and Lore Scholl had it modernized. Until its sale in 1984, the Hotel Post remained in the possession and management of the same family for generations, although the names changed: Deublin, Gschwindt, Luz, and Scholl.

The cathedral is the most dominant building along with the fountain in front of it on the market square.
