Christinenhof & Spa takes seminars and training days for 6 to 100 participants, company parties and banquets for up to 150 guests seated, and receptions for up to 200, with 41 rooms on site for groups that stay overnight. The four-star hotel stands on Hauptstraße in Tauer, a village in Brandenburg on the edge of the Spreewald, surrounded by open meadows.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms are flexible and hold groups from 6 to 100 people. They have daylight and can be fully darkened on request. Screens, fixed or mobile, projectors, flipcharts and pinboards are available on request, and further technology comes through an external event-technology partner. Meeting days can be booked with conference drinks, break catering, lunch and dinner, so a group can run a full program without leaving the hotel. The spa gives a training day a quiet end, with massages, a hammam and treatments that can be added to a stay. For company parties, the events team builds the program with the client, from a DJ or live music to a horse-drawn carriage ride or fireworks, and helps with planning for small and large groups.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts private parties, company celebrations and club events. The Wenden Saal takes receptions of up to 200 guests standing, with high tables and stools, and banquets of up to 150 at round or long tables. The site does not present wedding packages, so couples should ask the hotel directly.
Rooms and capacities
The Wenden Saal is the main event room: 200 square meters with daylight, its own bar, a stage, a 40 square meter gallery, a dividing wall, a parquet dance floor and ceilings of up to 6.50 meters. Its lighting can be adjusted and includes a starry-sky effect in the ceiling. The Glasmacher Salon takes up to 45 guests at round tables, at a long table or in a U-shape. It has a fireplace, views over the meadows and the hotel's water lily pond, and sits a few steps from the restaurant's sun terrace.
Accommodation
The hotel has 41 rooms. Categories range from compact double rooms of about 16 square meters to Deluxe doubles with a panoramic view, Boutique doubles in the spa building, a Wellness Suite of about 50 square meters with bathtub and balcony, and a Family Suite with a garden view. Nineteen rooms were fully renovated in 2021, some with freestanding bathtubs or private saunas.
Catering
The restaurant cooks modern versions of regional recipes with seasonal produce, mostly from local suppliers, and adds some international influences. On Thursdays it runs a buffet: a grill evening in summer and a regional buffet in the colder months. For events, the team coordinates the kitchen as part of the planning, from coffee breaks to the dinner.
History and setting
Lothar Wenke built the hotel in 2001 on the site of a former village inn that had a traditional festival hall, and named it after his wife Christine, its first owner. It grew in 2004 and 2006 with a spa area and more rooms. A renovation in 2021 drew on regional crafts and Sorbian and Wendish design, and added the restaurant, the multipurpose event room and new spa areas with panoramic rest rooms. The second generation of the family has owned the hotel since 2019.
Getting there
The address is Hauptstraße 39, 03185 Tauer, in the Spreewald region of southern Brandenburg, north-east of Cottbus.
