Quartier Wieck

The Quartier Wieck holiday home is located in the fishing village of Wieck on the Darß peninsula off Germany’s Baltic coast, just 300 metres from the Bodden lagoon. With its sleek architecture, the house sets a counterpoint to the traditional thatched houses typical of the Darß – but with its barn-like shape, it nevertheless references its surroundings. Every detail displays the owners’ penchant for Japanese and Scandinavian design.

Hotel Röhrl – Hotel in the old brewhouse

A rundown old brewery in the village of Eilsbrunn near Regensburg, Germany, has been transformed into an absolute gem. An impressive building at the village centre, the brewery had stood empty for more than 50 years – long enough to fall into complete ruin – until Andreas and Katharina Röhrl rescued it from demolition, renovated it and converted it into a beautiful hotel.

Faktorenhaus

The Faktorenhaus is a historic half-timbered house (Umgebindehaus) in the Upper Lusatia region of eastern Germany. This type of half-timbered house reflects the cultural landscape of the border triangle between Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Situated in the village of Ebersbach/Sachs near Görlitz, the heritage-listed building was built in 1831 by a local cloth merchant. Today, this beautifully restored house offers enough space for large families or groups – with a floorspace of 260 square metres – and a very special ambience.
