Welcome to
Hotel Fregehaus
in Leipzig

The Hotel Fregehaus is located at Katharinenstraße 11 in the heart of Leipzig’s Old Town, just 50 meters from the Museum of Fine Arts. Leipzig Central Station is about a 650-meter walk away, and the Markt S-Bahn station (City Tunnel) is right outside the door, as is the Markt bus stop for line 89.

The Fregehaus is a historic, listed merchant’s house built around 1535 in the heart of Leipzig. Unlike modern design hotels, it combines historic architectural features—stucco ceilings, old wooden floors, and a 16th-century courtyard garden—with contemporary amenities. The 20 individually furnished rooms and apartments were personally designed by architect and host Sabine Fuchshuber; many of the details were sourced from flea markets and antique shops.

The hotel has 17 double rooms and 3 apartments, spread over three floors around the historic courtyard. Each room is individually decorated and varies in size, view, and character.

No, breakfast is not automatically included in the room rate. Guests can book the regional breakfast buffet for €18 per person per day, subject to availability; hot drinks such as coffee and tea are included. Breakfast is served in the historic salon, featuring homemade jams and regional produce.

The hotel itself does not have its own parking lot, but there are several parking garages in the immediate vicinity. The front desk will be happy to provide details about the nearest option upon request.

Both. The rooms and apartments can be booked for a single night or for stays lasting several weeks—the apartments with their own kitchenettes are particularly well-suited for longer stays in Leipzig.

The Museum of Fine Arts is 50 meters away, and St. Thomas Church is about 450 meters away. Numerous restaurants, cafés, and bars in downtown Leipzig are within a 5-minute walk.

No, the Hotel Fregehaus does not allow pets.
