GERMAN STATE MINISTRY FOR CHECH AND MORAV, PRAGUE (1906) 1939 - 1945 (1965), inv. 576, sig. 110-4/424
English Translation
- 4 - l. Indecent and challenging appearances of unaccompanied persons who no longer receive a room, often representing the so-called "master's rank" against the Czech hoteliers, and threats being ejected, 2. On the other hand, large amounts of unannounced foreign bribery attempts are made in order to obtain a room. 3. Nightly. Location in the hotel rooms with a lot of noise, which leads to a significant disturbance of the night's rest of the other tenants. 4. The grossly negligent and malicious damage to the hotel property is particularly worrying: many of the longer-lived hotel guests tend to cook. This often happens without any view: The walls (wallpapers) are sprayed with grease and the floors and tables are damaged by the heat of the stoves and overflowing water. For example, the Hotel Palace reports the total damage of a full table with inlays by boiling water. Glass plates are shattered; divan ceilings and curtains are used for cleaning boots and wiping dirty and greasy cookware. In carpets, tablecloths and duvets there are fire holes of cigars and cigarettes; intermediate doors are damaged by the fact that they are obviously always opened with a foot step, etc. This behaviour of German guests is, in my opinion, a cultural damage and is suitable to significantly damage the appearance of Germanism. It is particularly worrying that these complaints come exclusively from the A-hotels, in which the socially best-placed guests descend. The difficulties, which, as I would like to stress, were only hesitantly and extremely recklessly accused by the hoteliers, must be radically turned off.
