In 1951 the only surviving grandchild of the Kempinski family laid the foundation stone for a new hotel. It was one of the first major investments in post-War Berlin. In doing so, he breathed new life into his family’s property at Kurfürstendamm 27. In 1952 at the hotel opening, a local newspaper printed the headline, “Kempinski means Berlin is returning.”
