Café Thiele in Fulda: Millions of renovation with tradition by 2026!
The Café Thiele in Fulda, an institution of the city, is currently being extensively renovated. Work on the building, which was built around 1919, is in full swing and require several million euros in investments. The demolition of the old structures is expected to begin in April 2025, since talks about the use of the parking lot with the neighboring Hotel Platzhirsch have not yet been completed. The road remains open during the renovation work, which ensures the accessibility of the environment.
It was originally planned to continue the café operation in an alternative accommodation, but this plan failed. Alternatives for a temporary solution could not be realized because no suitable rental areas were found and the costs for containers were too high. As a result, 20 employees receive terminations, but they are given the opportunity to return after the renovation. Support is offered in the job search.tradition and future of the café
The Café Thiele, known since its opening in 1892, is the oldest café in Fulda and has traditionally made a name for itself through excellent cakes and cakes. When the previous owners, the Young family, withdrew after 52 years for health reasons, the Büttner family took over the café on January 1, 2021. The new management has set itself the goal of continuing tradition and expanding the range.

Extended offers for breakfast, lunch and dinner are also planned, while popular specialties such as crème Giovanni and Swiss tarts will continue to be available.

renovation details and new building
In the case of the renovation work, the focus will be on the preservation of the character of the café. Only the foundations and facades of the buildings under ensemble protection should be preserved. A central element of the renovation is the equipment of the new bakery with modern technology, which is intended to reduce energy consumption by half. In addition to the Café, 20 new apartments are being built, which will be rented to tourists or craftsmen in the future, which should contribute to the resurrection of the location.

This extensive renovation and the planned new building show that despite the challenges of health processing and the necessary dismissals, the will to renew and preserve the traditional facility remains strong.
