Hospitality Industry (Restaurant/Lodging)

In April 1946, the Jewish Committee Munich opened the first kosher kitchen in the city in Victor-Scheffel-Strasse. As up to 8,000 Jews were living in Munich, what it could produce was not enough by any means. Additional kitchens were opened so that, at times, five such canteens existed in the municipal area: in Möhlstrasse, Frauenstrasse, and Zweibrückenstrasse, as well as in Hauptstrasse, as it was then called, in the suburb of Feldmoching.

A canteen was set up at Möhlstrasse 39 in 1949 for employees of Jewish institutions in the neighborhood, and in April 1950 it was turned into a restaurant. In addition to this, the garden behind the building was also used commercially and a dance floor added. Following complaints from residents, however, the Café Amoria was only allowed to operate as a regular public house and restaurant from May 1950 onward.

The institution, centrally located at the old Hanau railroad station/east station, advertised with moderate overnight prices, home-style and kosher cuisine "Polish and Romanian style". It was sometimes noted in the press that the majority of guests had an Eastern European, i.e. migrant, rather than a "Western" biographical history. When it was founded - the date is not known - the establishment first traded as Hotel Ostbahnhof, then as Hotel Diehl and finally - completely renovated - as Hotel Löwenhof; until the end of 1923 under owner or director Adolf Mangel.

From the middle of the 19th century, after the gradual demolition of the Judengasse, the former ghetto, Wilhelminian-style residential and commercial buildings were built on the demolition sites. One of the new buildings was the well-known Café Goldschmidt, prominently located in the immediate vicinity of the main synagogue, which was inaugurated in 1860.

Jenny Schlüsselburg, née Neiovetz, born on December 1, 1881 in Marmaros-Sziget, Hungary, owned the house Hinter den Höfen 4, where she and her non-Jewish husband Heinrich lived and ran a brothel. On November 15, 1938, they were banned from renting out any rooms to women, with the justification: "With regard to your Jewish descent, your business represents a danger to public safety and order."

The Hotel Esplanade was built in 1896 as ‚Schloss Dorothea‘ and renamed ‚Schloss Bruck‘ in 1910.
