Family-run since 1898
DIEDRICH Wellness Hotel & Spa
Our hotel was founded and built over 120 years ago by Anton and Ida Diedrich. It is still run by the Diedrich family today - now in its fourth generation.
We have always pursued one goal: to turn guests into friends - friends of our hotel and of each other. That's why we keep a close eye on what people really need.
If we had offered in 1898 what we offer today, we would have failed miserably. If we offered today what we had back then, we would have done the same. Fortunately, we understood this well.
The well-being of our guests is always our top priority. That's why we work tirelessly to constantly develop and enrich our place of refuge to recharge our batteries with new ideas. We are driven by our passion for hospitality and quality - so that every stay becomes a special memory.
The Diedrich family
1898 until today
Our hotel was already a place to refuel in 1898, the year it was founded. Back then, as a post station, we accommodated many people passing through. They could eat well here, have interesting conversations and let us support them on their long journeys.
Today - more than 120 years later - we ourselves have become the destination of the journey: a place of refuge, an oasis of calm with plenty of space to recharge.
We have created a place that meets the longingsand needs of our time - a place of well-being, artistic enjoyment and holistic "wellbeing". But not just any place, but a very special place with a very special offer. A place to fall in love with and to remember.
Clear skies ahead
How did we achieve this? Not through superlatives or gimmicky bells and whistles, but through attentive listening. We deliberately left out everything superfluous and concentrated on the essentials:
- The proverbial Diedrich hospitality that has been anchored in our genes for generations.
- A unique concept that leads you back to peace, balance and inner center.
The words "See land again" always make us think - to reflect, to pause. What do you associate with these words? Perhaps the feeling of clarifying your own view, coming back to yourself or discovering new perspectives?
