Forsthaus Heiligenberg hosts residential seminars, strategy meetings, training days and private celebrations, with four meeting rooms that take from 10 to 60 people and 41 bedrooms on site. The hotel stands in the forest on the Heiligenberg, a hill above Bruchhausen-Vilsen in Lower Saxony, inside a protected landscape area.
Seminars and company events
The house names strategy meetings, external training, creative workshops and company anniversaries among the events it plans with clients. All four meeting rooms share the same core equipment: a projector, a fixed 3.5 m screen, a moderator case, HDMI connections, a phone line, a wireless handheld microphone, speakers and satellite TV. Flipcharts and pinboards come on request, and a Poly system can be set up for hybrid meetings. The Alte Scheune also has a Crestron touch control panel. Wi-Fi is free in the meeting rooms, the restaurant and every bedroom. The grounds can be used for group work and outdoor breaks. The hotel is listed in the TOP 250 guide to the best conference hotels in Germany published by Max Schimmel Verlag.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, family gatherings and anniversaries take place in the Fasanenzimmer, Haus Ringwall, the historic main house and the outdoor grounds. A free ceremony can be held outside on the grounds. A civil registry ceremony is not possible on the premises, so couples marry at the registry office first. Menu and buffet proposals are sent on request, and an optional service package covers all or part of the planning.
Rooms and capacities
The Alte Scheune is a separate meeting house of about 130 m², set slightly apart from the other buildings, for up to 60 in theater style, 35 in a U-shape or 30 around a block table. It has its own anteroom with a coffee machine and an adjoining terrace. Haus Ringwall measures about 110 m² and takes 30 in parliamentary style, 20 around a block table or 15 in a U-shape, with plenty of daylight, a wide view and direct access to the garden. The Tagungsraum Klostermühle seats up to 20 in a layout chosen by the group, with an anteroom, a coffee machine and a terrace on the mill pond. The Fasanenzimmer, in the main house next to the restaurant and reception, has a fixed conference table for up to 10 and opens onto a small garden.
Accommodation
The hotel has 37 rooms and four suites in Standard, Comfort, Deluxe and Suite categories, spread across the main house and the guest houses Finkenschlag, Ringwall, Rosenquartier and Klostermühle. Guests have a Finnish sauna, a bio sauna with light and aroma elements and rest areas, with massages on request. A Kneipp water-treading spot in the spring water of the Eyter is a few steps from the house.
Catering
The restaurant occupies the historic main house, with a fireplace for winter, a bright bay window and a terrace in summer. The kitchen cooks classic dishes with a modern touch from regional, seasonal produce, and the à la carte menu changes every two months. A meeting day includes a morning snack, a lunch of soup and a choice of fish, meat or vegetarian main course, an afternoon cake break and a three-course dinner. Groups of 30 or more can have a buffet instead.
History and setting
The buildings form a half-timbered ensemble on a quiet hill with wide views, surrounded by woodland. The names Klostermühle and Ringwall point to the past of the Heiligenberg, which the hotel itself calls eventful. Hiking, cycling, riding and the Syke golf club are close by.
Getting there
The address is Heiligenberg 3, 27305 Bruchhausen-Vilsen. Bremen and its airport lie about 45 km to the north.
