Hotel Dorfmühle in Lehrberg, near Ansbach, hosts company events for up to 200 guests in a former mill estate, plus workshops for 40 or 10 people in two smaller buildings. The estate can be booked for one group only, park included, and has 19 double rooms on site. It also hosts weddings and private celebrations.
Seminars and company events
The main space is the Kornspeicher, a granary used as an event barn. It covers more than 400 square meters on three levels and has a bar. The hotel proposes it for in-house trade shows, product presentations and company parties for up to 200 guests. The German pages state 199. A large Gothic window, open beams, candelabras and a concert organ shape the room.
Two smaller buildings suit working sessions. The Große Remise, a former farm building of the mill, covers about 65 square meters with natural stone walls and holds about 40 people. The hotel recommends it for workshops and company anniversaries. The Kleine Remise is a pavilion of about 25 square meters directly on the Franconian Rezat. It holds about 10 people and is meant for coaching and small team meetings.
Power and three-phase current are available inside and outside, Wi-Fi covers the whole estate, and trucks can drive onto the grounds for larger equipment.
Weddings and receptions
Hosts of weddings and private celebrations can book the Kornspeicher, which the hotel describes as popular for these occasions. On request the estate belongs to one party only. No simultaneous events take place, only the space you book is used, and the park is reserved for your guests. The service team stays in the background and works for your group alone. A driving service, from a taxi to a limousine, can be arranged for guests going home or to the airport.
