Seminars of up to 320 people, company parties and weddings of up to 100 guests can be held at martas Hotel Lutherstadt Wittenberg, a 158-room hotel in the old town of Lutherstadt Wittenberg, in Saxony-Anhalt. Eight meeting rooms with daylight sit under one roof, and a coffee roastery run by the hotel adds a ninth space for workshops.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells day meetings, residential seminars, company and private parties, and Christmas parties. Five of the rooms open into one space of 352 square meters for up to 320 people, which suits a plenary session with breakouts in the smaller rooms nearby. Rooms 4 and 5 combine into 184 square meters for up to 150 people. Standard equipment includes a projector, a flipchart and a moderation case. On request the team adds a second projector, a 75-inch 4K screen, a conference camera, a PA system and microphones. Wi-Fi is included. A courtyard with an event hut gives a place for breaks and evening gatherings.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings use combinable rooms for up to 100 guests. The ceremony can take place in the Hofgarten, the courtyard garden, followed by a sparkling wine reception. An all-inclusive package covers the table setting, a three-course menu or a buffet, a drinks package and a contact person on site, with a minimum of 20 guests. A children's package is offered for ages 3 to 11, and the couple receives the Tower Suite when it is free.
Rooms and capacities
The rooms are named after figures of the Reformation. Lucas Cranach, Philipp Melanchthon and Martin Luther 1 each take up to 40 people on 54 to 59 square meters. Martin Luther 2 takes 70 and Martin Luther 3 takes 80, the latter with access to the courtyard. Johann H. Wichern and Paul Gerhardt, 32 square meters each, take 30 and can be joined. The Wittenberg room, overlooking the pedestrian street, suits 20. The Kaffeerösterei, at 170 square meters, takes 40.
Accommodation
There are 158 rooms on site, from business and family rooms to accessible rooms, apartments with their own kitchen and a Tower Suite. Sauna access is included for guests, so a large group can sleep in the same building as the meeting and avoid transfers.
Catering
The hotel kitchen covers coffee breaks, snacks, lunch and dinner, with an optional catering service. The von Bora restaurant, led by chef Christian Hirsch, serves modern cooking with Mediterranean influences, while the hotel restaurant and bar handle breakfast and simpler meals. Outside guests are welcome in both.
History and setting
The building is a former Lutherhotel in the historic center of Wittenberg, the town where Martin Luther lived and taught. The streets around it hold the main Reformation sites, which makes a guided walk an easy addition to a seminar program or a free afternoon for wedding guests.
Getting there
The hotel stands at Neustraße 7-10, 06886 Lutherstadt Wittenberg. The town is about 40 minutes by train from both Berlin and Leipzig, so teams from either city can arrive without a car.
