Four people were rescued hours after the incident in Kröv, a picturesque town on the Moselle river, when a storey of the Reichsschenke Zum Ritter Götz hotel collapsed at about 11pm local time yesterday.
Fourteen people were in the hotel at the time. Police said five were able to get out of the building unhurt, but another nine were trapped.
By early this morning, emergency services established that one person had died but they were not immediately able to recover the body. German media were later reporting that a second person had died.
