SCHLOSS ELMAU has always been honored and grateful to host numerous guests, artists, and writers from Israel. My thoughts and heart go out to Israel. I share the pain and sorrow of all families who lost loved ones on Oct.7 and I pray for the safe liberation of the hostages. I am deeply shaken by the unfathomable atrocities in the genocidal massacre carried out by Hamas. Their relentless pursuit to annihilate Israel is also responsible for the suffering in Gaza, which only they can stop by releasing all hostages and ending their war against Israel. I hope that Israel will emerge from this incredible tragedy more united and secure than ever before, which would be for the sake of all Israelis and Palestinians yearning for peace and liberty.

A German History

SCHLOSS ELMAU has been built from 1914-1916 by the philosopher Dr. Johannes Müller, as a cultural hideaway for his readers. A major fire destroyed the building in 2005. His grandson Dietmar Mueller-Elmau rebuilt Schloss Elmau from 2006 2007 as a Luxury Spa & Cultural Hideaway and Member of the Leading Hotels of the World. The Retreat was built from 2013-2015 and served as the residence for the Heads of State and Government during the G7 summits with Angela Merkel and Barack Obama in 2015 and with Olaf Scholz and Joe Biden in 2022.
