Brauhaus Wiesenmühle hosts meetings for 12 to 60 people, seminars, company parties and family celebrations, with 27 hotel rooms and a working brewery on the same site. The brewpub hotel stands at Wiesenmühlenstraße 13 in Fulda, a few minutes' walk from the city center, in a mill whose oldest building dates from the 13th century.
Seminars and company events
Two rooms serve meetings. The Gobelinzimmer, inside the hotel, takes 12 to 15 people for a board meeting or a workshop. The Schafstall, a separate building behind the mill on the far bank of the Fulda river, takes 25 to 60 people over two levels: the seminar room upstairs, a bar and a small lounge on the ground floor, and a large lawn in front for sessions outdoors. Both rooms have current meeting equipment. Several meeting packages are offered, and room hire is waived when a meeting is booked with 10 or more hotel nights. A brewery tour with a tasting can close the day.
Weddings and receptions
The Schafstall is also rented for family celebrations, birthdays and presentations, with its own bar for the reception. The house lists weddings and company parties among the uses of its event spaces, and the team sets the format and menu with each host.
Rooms and capacities
The Gobelinzimmer measures 29 square meters. The Schafstall measures 110 square meters, was fully renovated between November 2019 and May 2020, and can be arranged for a seminar, a presentation or a private party.
Accommodation
The three-star hotel has 27 rooms with 52 beds, in single, double, premium double and triple categories. Each room has a shower and toilet, a TV and a telephone, and cots for toddlers are free. The rooms lie away from the restaurant and the brewery, so guests sleep undisturbed, and parking is free for the stay.
Catering
Food and drink come from the house. The Brauhaus and its beer garden pour the beer brewed on site, the Restaurant Mühlenstube has a terrace, and a pizzeria bakes in a wood-fired oven. The brewery makes 10 to 20 beers a year in a new brew house, with the kettles beside the bar and a window from the beer garden onto the tanks. A small hop garden grows on the grounds.
History and setting
In 1986 the architect Wilfried Renner drew up the plan for a brewpub with a hotel in the run-down mill, and in 1987 he and his friend Willi Heurich won the city's award for the property. Guests have come since 1990. The mill wheel still turns: 44 buckets, 6.90 meters across, 6.50 meters wide and 55 tonnes. The house describes it as the largest working undershot mill wheel in Europe, and it supplies most of the building's power.
Getting there
The hotel sits in a green setting near Fulda's cathedral and palace. Fulda station is a stop on the ICE high-speed network, and Frankfurt Airport is the nearest international airport.
