Changing tides! Saxony's higher-than-the-sky property - the legendary Fichtelberg plateau and summit house - is now under a private grip. Investor Rainer Gläß, age 66, inked the deal officially this week, as announced by Erzgebirgskreis.
In a Nutshell
- Deal of the Century: Rainer Gläß, an ambitious investor from Vogtland, Saxony, snags the Fichtelberg plateau, lift company, cable car, and the iconic Fichtelberghaus hotel for around two million euros.
- City Wins Too: Oberwiesenthal clinches a chunk of the adjacent land, including the breathtaking viewing platform and the tranquil Peace Bell, ensuring public access to these tourist attractions.
The Notarized SaleLandrat Rico Anton, a 47-year-old CDU member, expressed delight over this change, emphasizing that the deal is essential for making required investments for the Fichtelberg house's future. However, the transfer of ownership takes some time due to land registry procedures associated with the property division[1].
