Becoming hoteliers - out of the blue
In 2020 we took over the courtyard from its previous owners, and with it, an already existing concept of a classical countryside hotel. Initally we had been looking for a house in Brandenburg, when all of a sudden we turned into hoteliers. Soon after opening, Corona arrived as our first guest. During lockdowns we went wild on renovations: the rooms needed a touch-up, new Internet enclosure, facades, seminarrooms, sheets, towels, pipes, antennas, Tvs – you name it. Also we went for the reconstruction of the entire seminarhaus. Not to forget the 5000 guest, we welcomed inbetween lockdowns.
Trying out, sensing the place and growing into it
Eager to try out the concept of our predecessors, we wanted to sense how it would suit our family and then (maybe) develop it further. We had some ambitious ideas which did’t work out and- of course a few things turned out completely different than expected. There were highs and quite some lows. Joy and doubt but always an immense faith into this incredibly, beautiful and magical place, which often jangeled our nerves. And – there was our life and work in Berlin.
Progressing in 2022
“Plat-form” is a strange word. And yet exactly what came to our mind, when we first discovered the courtyard in April 2019. Now, after two intensive years with many new experiences it is clear to us which direction is ours to head: we aim to create a place where all sorts of people come together, create together, energize, work, mingle, experience and bond together.
Bringing all sorts of people to one table is something that has always played an important role in our life. Now it is a much bigger table that we can invite people to. And we are happily looking forward to it – to those who will join!
