The Klostermühle takes seminars and training days for up to 70 participants, company dinners and private parties for up to 100 guests, and incentive programs indoors and outdoors. The hotel and restaurant occupy a former mill and its barn on the banks of the Alsenz at Münchweiler an der Alsenz, at the foot of the Donnersberg in the North Palatinate, with 28 bedrooms on site. It belongs to the Landidyll label of rural hotels.
Seminars and company events
Three bright meeting rooms can be used alone or combined. Raum Conrad and Raum Thomas open into a single room of 135 square meters for 70 people in parliamentary rows or 40 in a U-shape, and the smaller Raum Mühlenspeicher suits a group of 12 to 15. The rooms have current presentation technology, and a dedicated team supports organizers before and during the event. Day packages start at 10 participants and include a room sized to the group, a two-course lunch and two breaks; a second package adds a two-course dinner for groups that stay overnight. The park around the mill and the forest nearby serve for team activities, with indoor and outdoor programs offered by the hotel. Company parties range from a small coffee gathering to a gala for 100.
Rooms and capacities
Raum Conrad covers 70 square meters and takes 22 people in a U-shape or 32 in rows. Raum Thomas covers 65 square meters, for 20 or 28. Combined, the two form the banquet hall, which takes up to 90 guests for a dinner and opens through two doors onto a sheltered inner courtyard that guests can use during the event. Raum Mühlenspeicher measures 55 square meters. All meeting rooms have 3-meter ceilings. The restaurant seats up to 50 and opens onto the garden terrace and grounds with a pond. The rustic barn, with exposed beams and old walls, takes up to 95 guests from May to September.
Accommodation
The hotel has 28 rooms in Classic, Komfort and Premium categories: singles, doubles, family rooms and a Komfort apartment, which lets a seminar group sleep under one roof. The sandstone vaults of the mill house a sauna and a relaxation room. During a stay, guests receive the PFALZCARD, which gives free use of buses and regional trains in the Palatinate and entry to more than 130 leisure sites.
Catering
The in-house restaurant cooks for seminars, dinners and parties, and is also open to the public. Herbs and vegetables come from Fräulein Lenz, a small family farm run alongside the hotel by Carla Jennewein and her partner Catie.
History and setting
The mill has belonged to the same family since the 1920s. Erik Jennewein runs the hotel together with the farm, and Violaine Jennewein shares the management of the business. The property is rated three-star superior. It sits in the North Palatinate Forest, a quiet rural setting away from towns, which helps a group stay focused over two or three days.
Getting there
Münchweiler an der Alsenz lies in the Donnersberg district of Rhineland-Palatinate, within reach of Kaiserslautern, Mainz and Mannheim. Guests staying at the hotel can use regional trains and buses for free with the PFALZCARD. Ask the hotel for directions and parking details when you book.
