The German Hotel, operated by John Marsch & Fred Gothe, in 1892, boasted "Good accommodations by the day or week. A fine bar of wines and liquors in connection." Both of the proprietors resided in the hotel at that time. In addition, Chris Gothe, who worked at a brewery, and Peter Marsch, a laborer, both boarded at the German Hotel.
The German Hotel was listed at 407 Merritt Avenue in 1902, but there was no record of proprietors.
Fred Gothe's name was not found in the directory and John Marsch worked in railroad construction
and had a sales stable at 220 East Hughitt Street in Iron Mountain. Anton Loverich purchased the American Hotel, formerly the German Hotel, from Reinhart for $8,5000, taking possession of Dec. 1, 1920 at 1 p.m. Within 3 hours of possession Loverich was arrested on a charge of violation of the liquor law. The police & sheriff's department raided the American Hotel, confiscating 3 cases of bitters and 6 quart-bottles of some kind of wine.
George Meyers, Louis Osborn & Louis Mellis were also taken into custody on a charge of gambling during the raid. (Dickinson County Historical Society).
