Casual in Chiemgau: Matador Lodges

The Matador Lodges are an inspiring venue for cele­bra­tions in a relaxed atmo­sphere – in a quiet location, with views of Lake Chiemsee and the Chiemgau Alps.

The his­to­rical villa, once a girls’ boarding school and later the head­quarters of the brand Wind­surfing Chiemsee, con­tains four apart­ments con­nected by a double door on the ground floor. For com­munal dinners, guests gather at the long table in No. 1.

Up to 70 guests can cele­brate here, and 26 people can stay over­night. There are also four Tiny Houses near the villa, including a tree house. The parkland with its swimming pond offers ideal con­di­tions for summer parties; wooden sun loungers and parasols are scat­tered around the grounds, creating little islands of retreat. The hosts are available around the clock and, on request, can organise catering and a per­so­na­lised program of acti­vities on site and in the sur­rounding area.

Give socia­lizing a go: The Landl­mühle

Where old machines, mill­s­tones and boulders tell the story of the place, a model project for the sus­tainable deve­lo­pment of rural areas has been estab­lished: the Landl­mühle [Country Mill] – with the motto: ‘The Dorf [village (place)] to be’.

A com­munity works here in closed loop systems as far as pos­sible, reno­vating his­to­rical buil­dings and sup­ple­menting them with new buil­dings, which tog­ether form an exciting ensemble. This inspiring setting in the Bavarian Alpine foot­hills invites people to get tog­ether and cele­brate.

There is a sui­table setting for every occasion: a family cele­bration in the dining room or under blos­soming chestnut trees at the Landl restaurant, a cul­tural event in the old barn, or a private party in the Acht­punkt­sechs [8.6] bar in the former turbine room with its indus­trial cha­racter and 1970s lounge fur­niture.

Con­vi­viality by the lake: Kava­liershaus Schloss Blücher

The Kava­liershaus Schloss Blücher [Cavalier’s House, Blücher Castle] ori­gi­nally part of a castle complex dating from 1748, is located directly on Lake Fincken.

Here, you can not only cele­brate the silence – the hotel with twelve suites also includes a small brick barn where guests can dine and cele­brate at a long table. The patio offers a view across the lake, and the hotel’s own bathing jetty is just a few steps away through the park.

During the GDR era [East Germany], the building served as a school and then stood empty for a long time before being carefully reno­vated by the Nalbach family of archi­tects. School desks and old maps are reminders of its former use and lend the ‘Klas­sen­zimmer’ [Classroom] restaurant its special charm. Diners here enjoy creative slow food; for events, the kitchen can take care of all the catering on request.

A project with vision: Punkt.Raum in Kreuzberg

At the sou­thern end of Fried­rich­straße, where Schin­kel’s obser­vatory stood until 1912, is now Frizz23 – Ger­many’s first award-winning com­mercial building complex. Small creative busi­nesses, hotels and edu­ca­tional spaces are united here in a single complex.

On the ground floor are the Punkt.Raum [Point Space] and Café Null­punkt [Zero Point] which can be used indi­vi­dually or in com­bi­nation, depending on the occasion. Glass sur­faces, polished paving stones and exposed con­crete walls cha­rac­terise the urban ambience, while a golden bar and a fire­place provide warmth. In summer, the cosy garden extends the space out­doors – a shel­tered outdoor area in the middle of Berlin-Kreuzberg. The eastern end is formed by a six-storey tower with 14 mini-lofts, also designed by Deadline Archi­tekten.

A country estate in the Meck­lenburg Lakes Dis­trict: Lexow Manor

Lexow Manor is a won­derful place to get tog­ether. Located in the quiet village of Lexow, sur­rounded by meadows, fields and the many lakes of the Meck­lenburg Lakes Dis­trict, it offers spa­cious rooms and places to retreat.

The heritage listed building com­prises three sty­lishly reno­vated apart­ments on two floors and a separate double room for a total of 24 people. The entire group can gather, cook and eat in the 90-square-meter living and dining area of the Stell­ma­cherei apartment. A patio leads directly into the spa­cious garden.

The manor house also has a small guest room where breakfast, afternoon tea [Kaffee und Kuchen] and dinner are served for house and day guests. On request, the manor house kitchen can provide full catering for cele­bra­tions. For larger groups, a further 22 beds are available in the Alten Küchenhaus [Old Kitchen House] and the Stell­ma­cherei [Wheel­w­right’s Workshop].

The Klaus­meis­terhof, a heritage listed farm­house dating from 1740, is in a secluded location at the foot of the Unternberg, just an hour from Munich.

The Klaus­meis­terhof, a heritage listed farm­house dating from 1740, is in a secluded location at the foot of the Unternberg, just an hour from Munich.

On request, the hosts can organise an all-inclusive package with catering and chefs, making it easy to cele­brate over several days. Ten guest rooms are available for over­night stays.

Cele­brating? With pleasure: 1280 Die Krone

The hotel 1280 Die Krone [The Crown] in Gei­singen, Baden-Würt­temberg, is more than just a hotel: the restau­rant’s dining room can be trans­formed into a cosy banquet hall in no time at all, and the cocktail bar in the vaulted cellar is perfect for the finale.

Foun­dation walls that are almost 800 years old, exposed natural stone walls and rounded arches meet con­tem­porary archi­tecture here.
29 rooms and suites are dis­tri­buted across the former inn and several neigh­bouring buil­dings. The Spa Suite in the attic – with its open-plan design on two levels and a sauna – offers the perfect setting for special occa­sions or as a retreat after a cele­bration. On request, a tailor-made offer can be put tog­ether for events, including rooms, catering and accom­mo­dation.

‘We are a sur­prise package’: Das Raum­quartier in Bran­denburg

A cross sculpted into the façade gives the building a quiet monu­men­tality, behind which stands Das Raum­wunder [The Space Miracle]: an eight-meter-high hall with around 600 square meters of space that can be used fle­xibly for cele­bra­tions and events.

The project started in 2019 as a house for group and school excur­sions; today, the team fulfils almost every wish. ‘We learn from our guests. They show us what is pos­sible’, says founder Josef Grosse Wiesmann, who loves to organise parties with lots of addi­tional events – including stand-up paddle tours. The house is located in the city of Bran­denburg, just a few steps from the water.
On weekends, the building, including its 36 beds, is available for rent – among them two charming caravans from the early days. During the week, the hall with its stage, kitchen and viewing gal­leries can be used on a daily basis for smaller events.
