Der Postwirt hosts seminars, workshops and team-building days for up to 100 participants, along with weddings and family celebrations. The family-run 4-star hotel stands in Kipfenberg, in the Altmühl Valley Nature Park in Bavaria, and holds four meeting rooms of very different character, from an eight-seat lounge to a daylight hall for 100.
Seminars and company events
The hotel appears in the Top 250 Tagungshotels listing for Germany and is a BDVT hotel and location partner. Meeting packages include conference drinks and snacks, with half board or full board for residential groups. If a team arrives without its own facilitator, the hotel can arrange coaches, trainers and moderators.
The activity list is long. Within reach of the hotel are guided torch hikes to Kipfenberg castle or to the geographic center of Bavaria, a tour of the Roman and Bavarii museum in the castle, beer tastings with Tucher beers, gin, rum or whisky tastings, archery, canoe tours on the Altmühl, alpaca hikes, sheep-herding team exercises, yoga, crime or comedy dinners, and modules at the Altmühltal adventure park. Go-karting, laser tag and escape rooms are available at FunArena in Ingolstadt.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel organizes weddings, birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, company parties and Christmas parties. Larger groups gather in the Spiegelsaal or the Posthütte, smaller ones in the restaurant's Gaststube. A member of the owning family plans and decorates events, so menu, setup and decoration come from one team.
Rooms and capacities
The Spiegelsaal, in the newer building, is the largest room: up to 100 people, with daylight, a parquet floor and a reclaimed-wood wall that works as a pinboard. It seats 40 in a circle, 29 in a U-shape and 34 in classroom style, and has a projector and adjustable lighting. The Posthütte, styled as an alpine lodge, takes up to 20, with a 75-inch screen, air conditioning and its own roof terrace facing the castle. Oma Frieda, decorated with local history, also takes 20, with projector and screen. The Boxerstadel seats eight around a 75-inch digital whiteboard and opens straight onto the hotel gym, which suits walking or active meetings.
Accommodation
Participants stay on site in the hotel, which also has a fitness studio and a roof terrace with a barrel sauna. Check-in runs from 3 pm, with a key safe for late arrivals. Dogs are welcome.
Catering
The kitchen focuses on Bavarian cooking and holds the Ausgezeichnete Bayerische Küche label. For groups it offers formats such as a mini-burger night served as a flying buffet, polenta brought to the table with meat, seafood or vegetarian toppings, and a burger grill event that guests can cook themselves or watch as a show kitchen. There is also a pizza kitchen and a beer garden.
History and setting
The Treffer family runs the house in its second generation. Kipfenberg lies on the line of the Roman Limes, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the geographic center of Bavaria is about 500 meters east of the town.
Getting there
From the A9 motorway, take the Denkendorf exit coming from the south or the Kinding exit from the north, then drive about 5 km. Rail travelers arrive at Kinding station, and the hotel can arrange a shuttle on request. A large free car park is about 100 meters away.
