A German History
Schloss Elmau is a uniquely innovative Leading Hotel of the World celebrating an inimitable tradition of Well-Being for Body, Mind & Soul. The hotel was built from 1914 to 1916 by the philosopher Dr. Johannes Müller as a cultural retreat, destroyed by a fire in 2005, and rebuilt from 2007 to 2015 by his grandson Dietmar Mueller-Elmau in new grandeur as a Luxury Spa Retreat and Cultural Hideaway. Schloss Elmau has hosted the G7 Summits in 2015 with Angela Merkel and Barack Obama, and again in 2022 with Olaf Scholz and Joe Biden.
A Germany History
My heart and thoughts are with Israel. I share the pain and sorrow of all who lost loved ones in the genocidal massacre carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The relentless pursuit of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime to annihilate Israel is also responsible for the horrible suffering in Gaza and Lebanon. I pray for the release of the hostages and an end to the war. I am confident that Israel will emerge from this horror more united and secure than ever before, which will be for the sake of all yearning for peace and liberty.
