About us
Welcome!
We will be telling you about the changes – some small, some not so small – that have been happening at our hotel as they happen. It’s always worth taking an occasional look.
May 2020
COVID-19 has not left us unscathed either. Hardly any turnover for two-and-a-half months, lots of rebookings and cancellations, and now that we’ve reached the end of May, we are finally allowed to take in guests from outside Saxony-Anhalt. Welcome. And thank you. Thank you also to our team for keeping loyal to us. Stay safe.
March 2019
Our breakfast buffet with its regional focus also features cheeses from the area. We have secured two local cheese makers as partners – Hof Pfaffendorf and Elbkäserei Vockerode. Both companies place high value on sustainable agriculture. The companies always use GMO-free feed for high-quality products from their own milk production facilities.
March 2018
We’ve expanded! After extensive rebuilding that took place during everyday hotel operation – a process involving our guests in a way, many thanks to you all! – our guests now have an additional breakfast room and lounge to enjoy at our hotel. This room is available in the evenings for a comfortable get-together over a glass of wine or beer.
Apart from that, we also have three more comfort double rooms equipped with a mini fridge and of course the same creature comforts as you would expect to find in other deluxe hotel rooms.
January 2017
We began renovating our standard single rooms in January 2017. We also repainted our double rooms and fitted them out with new carpets, curtains, mattresses and blankets. All the lighting is now LED. Room 7 now has new furniture as well. All the bathrooms have been fitted out with new taps, showers and air extractors, and some have new tiling.
January 2016
We have finally renovated our new standard double rooms too. This means new carpets, curtains, mattresses and blankets as well as new paint on the walls and a complete switch to LED lighting. Only the furniture has stayed the same. It may not be the newest, but local Dessau company Vetter was producing excellent quality back then too – twenty years ago.
February 2015
Regional products have always been a great gift idea; we have taken on distribution of Regio boxes from the local Regionalmarke Mittelelbe brand serving the Middle Elbe region. This gives you the opportunity to put together your own box in one of three different sizes from a wide range of products. We’d be happy to send it home to you by post if you’ve come by bike.
November 2014
Three nights next to the heating. That was more than enough. We’ve since switched to gas that we of course buy from the local utilities company, Stadtwerke Dessau, and we also have a state-of-the-art condensing boiler from Junkers. There is now a laundry room where the oil tank once was.
May 2014
We’ve now finished redesigning our “front garden”. Safety concerns meant that we had to have three red firs felled, the borders replanted, and the old white plastic fence replaced by a modern steel fence. We’ve had the garbage bins that used to greet our guests at the entrance put into their own enclosures and invested in new chairs and tables. Hope you like it!
January 2014
Our breakfast buffet is becoming even more regional. We purchase jam locally from the Düben market garden, Quetzer Manufaktur and Mosterei Fläminggarten in Zahna. Our juices come from Zahna and Libehna. We purchase sausage from Ogkler in Wörlitz, sheep’s cheese from the sheep dairy farm JAARE in Lindau, and bread and buns from Schieke virtually next door. We purchase wines from the Hanke vineyard on the Elbe near Jessen as well as selected liqueurs and spirits from the region for an ideal nightcap.
April 2013
We source our 100% natural electricity and water from the Dessau municipal utilities company as part of our commitment to promoting local business.
February 2013
We’ve finally done it. The first guests have arrived after seven weeks of reconstruction. We’ve redesigned an area of 450 m² with state-of-the-art fittings and furnishings. We hope you’ll like our four new comfort-class hotel rooms and new design theme in the rooms and the common areas.
