Certifications

In 2001, we were first certified according to DIN ISO 14001 / EMAS, which allowed us to not only focus on environmental protection but also to test and review our own operational structures. Much has happened since then.

In the "Environmental Pact Bavaria", we have been committed since 2013, together with the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection, to environmentally friendly economic growth.

In addition to DIN certification, we have also been pleased to hold Greensign Hotel certification since 2022. This is the sustainability certification for the hotel industry in Europe.

Photovoltaic

In 2012, we commissioned our first photovoltaic system. In the summer of 2022, the second system also went online, which, together with our combined heat and power plant, enables us to cover around half of our electricity consumption from our own renewable sources.

We purchase the remaining energy we need from renewable sources, thus operating with 100% green electricity. This means you can charge your vehicle at our EV charging stations with 100% renewable energy.

7100 sq m wildflower meadow

Since 2021, we have been delighted to make another contribution to environmental protection – 7100 square meters of pure nature. On an area roughly the size of a football field, native flora and fauna are allowed to thrive as they please. No fertilizer, no pesticides, no agricultural use.

Completely undisturbed, this creates an incredibly valuable habitat for a multitude of animal and plant species. Birds, frogs, and insects such as bees, bumblebees, beetles, grasshoppers, and butterflies feel right at home here among daisies, clover, and buttercups.

Reusable tableware

We exclusively use porcelain tableware and no disposable tableware for our catering and events. In addition, we offer our guests reusable containers from Vytal for takeaway food, contributing to a more environmentally friendly future. This sustainable tableware is made from high-quality, recyclable materials and can therefore be used again and again.

Not only the environment, but also our guests benefit from our sustainable tableware; it is hygienic and safe for use in the food sector.

We are consistently committed to reducing the use of disposable tableware and thus contributing to environmental protection. We hope that our example will inspire others to take similar measures and create a greener future together.

CHP plants

Our sustainable combined heat and power (CHP) plants are a revolutionary solution for energy generation. They perfectly combine efficiency and sustainability. The CHP plant generates electricity and heat simultaneously. This means it is more environmentally friendly than conventional energy generation methods, as it produces fewer CO₂ emissions.

By using modern technology, the combined heat and power plant achieves high efficiency and delivers electricity and heat with minimal losses. This means it generates more energy while wasting less, resulting in lower overall energy costs.

Overall, our sustainable combined heat and power plants are an excellent solution for energy generation. They offer efficiency, sustainability, and reliability in one package and contribute to creating a greener and more sustainable future.

Charging stations

We offer charging stations at various parking levels to make your stay with your electric vehicle even more comfortable and to contribute to protecting the environment.

With 14 charging points, we ensure that our guests can quickly and easily charge their electric vehicles while on the go. The charging stations use renewable energy sources to provide electricity, resulting in a reduction of CO₂ emissions. Not only the environment, but also our guests benefit from our charging stations.

They offer a convenient and reliable way to charge your electric vehicle, thus helping to make electromobility accessible to more and more people.

Sustainable forestry

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." The wisdom contained in this well-known Chinese proverb cannot be overstated today: According to a research team led by Thomas Crowther (ETH Zurich), reforestation is considered the most efficient measure in the fight against climate change.

In our forestry practices in the region, we take care to plant more trees than we harvest for our needs, while simultaneously maintaining or improving the regeneration capacity and vitality of the forest.

Regional & seasonal products

A key element in our efforts to reduce emissions is using regional products whenever possible to keep transport distances short. For example, we have been sourcing our potatoes for many years from the Glöckler family farm in Burlafingen, just six kilometers away, where they are now in their third generation of farming. Our organic asparagus is grown in Langenau.

Short transport routes are not only good for the climate, but also good for the taste – because what could be more natural than processing products from the neighborhood and thus bringing the special aroma of these high-quality products to the plate in an unadulterated and fresh way?

Other regional products we offer include our organic apple juice from Burkhardt in Laichingen. We also serve "Ulm's liquid gold," beer from the Gold Ochsen brewery, and even regional gin specialties from the Château Steinle distillery in Neu-Ulm.

We also pay attention to environmentally friendly standards for the cosmetic products in our hotel rooms: ADA Cosmetics products are fair trade and vegan.

Step by step towards greater sustainability

Our roots and our future lie in what nature gives us - that's why sustainability, protecting our environment and acting responsibly are extremely important to us.

We are aware of our responsibility for nature and the environment and understand sustainability as a continuous process that we drive forward anew every day - because sustainable business practices don't happen overnight.

Furthermore, we recognize that environmental protection is most successful when everyone works together and shares this shared understanding of values ​​as part of a global community. That's precisely why we want to publicly document and share our measures and sustainability achievements with you here. This also gives you the opportunity to keep track of your personal or business footprint when you book with us.
