Welcome to the Swiss Lodge Garni Terminus business hotel in Brugg
Our hotel can look back on over 150 years of tradition. In 1871, the hotel was opened as Hotel Bahnhof. Around 24 years later, in 1895, the business became the property of the Lang family and is now run by the fifth generation.
Over the years, the business has been expanded, rebuilt and modernized several times. In 2006, the catering operations were discontinued and the business concentrated on a pure business hotel garni (rooms & breakfast).
Since 2010, we have been continuously upgrading our rooms to the latest standards of a good mid-range business hotel garni. All of our 31 hotel rooms are equipped with a private shower or bath and WC. All rooms have soundproof windows, free internet from Swisscom, digital TV and a small fridge stocked with a welcome drink offered by us!
A personal welcome and farewell to guests by the host is still a matter of course for us in the 5th generation.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Your family Alfred & Rosmarie Lang
and staff
The author is the historian Dr. Andreas Petersen (born 1961 in Cologne) and is head of the zeit&zeugen history agency in Berlin and Zurich. He has also lectured on contemporary history with his students at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland in Brugg and has stayed at our hotel on these occasions.
In passing, he has taken our family and hotel history of the last 150 years under his “sharp pen” … and wrote this delightful article in fall 2019.
The author and photographer Mr. Stephan Kraus, born in 1962 in Tübingen, is editor-in-chief of the magazine “Modellbahn Schweiz” and lives at Schlesienstrasse 21 in 74189 Weinsberg, Germany.
He was in our house for a few days at the end of February 2024 and took photos of our 1-gauge model railroad collection – mainly Märklin pre-war TIN PLATE and my father Friedrich Lang’s own models – and wrote an informative text about it.
