Erfurt and Thuringia will hence become even more a center of attraction for companies, conference providers, and tourists. To utilize this potential, the LEG Thüringen is developing a new quarter, the ICE City, in which people can work, attend conventions, live, and spend their leisure time on an area of around 30 hectares surrounding the main station.
The first attractive “building block” in this quarter will be the “prizeotel Erfurt-City” an economy-design hotel with 208 rooms in direct proximity to the main station, designed by the New York star designer Karim Rashid. The official groundbreaking ceremony for the building, that is due to open its doors at the end of 2019, took place at the end of June. Maximilian May from the investor May & Co. and Marco Nussbaum, founder and CEO of prizeotel, had words of praise for the location. “Erfurt is a great city, and Thuringia is simply a wonderful Federal State,” said Marco Nussbaum. “There is enormous performance here every day, and I am personally happy that this is our first location in the new Federal States!” (hw)
