1866
The railway came to Fredericia, and the railway station in Oldenborggade was put into use in 1869. Together with the ferry port, it became the city's lifeblood.
1869
Fredericia Jernbanehotel was, until the old Lillebæltsbro and the new railway station were inaugurated in 1935, one of the country's best-known and most visited hotels. The railway station was the country's absolute largest meeting place for travelers between the regions.
1939
In 1939, the hotel was given a new name, Ny Missionshotel, and a new host. The hotel advertised with 30 well-appointed rooms, a cozy family hotel, reasonable prices and no tips.
During the occupation, the buildings were taken over by the Germans and used by the Gestapo.
The mission hotel remained intact.
1950
New Mission Hotel v. Ingeborg Schriver
After renovation and installation of a new heating system, Ny Missionshotel, opposite the old railway station, has once again become the place for large and small gatherings. The price of the rooms was still the same as before, although there was now heating, hot and cold water and bathrooms in the corridors.
1981
New Mission Hotel becomes Hotel Postgaarden. Hotel name secularized.
Ny Missionshotel in Oldenborggade 4 no longer exists. At least not the name. It was replaced with the more worldly name Hotel Postgaarden.
1979
In 1979, the owners of Hotel Landsoldaten, Erik Skree and Gunnar Lund, took over Ny Missionshotel, and the latter told about the name change: "Some foreigners, especially Swedes, have an antipathy towards mission hotels. They believe that liquor is not served and that the conditions in other areas are very missionary. With the name change, we hope that the pavement will be even better here in the summer months."
The hotel currently has 44 rooms.
1982
New extension to the hotel
Hotel Postgaarden in Oldenborggade, the former Railway Hotel and later Missionshotel, is getting an extension to the west, which increases the number of rooms to 48.
2021
Danske Hoteller A/S buys Hotel Postgaarden, which thus becomes the 24th hotel in the hotel chain.
