The Gidibauer Hof takes seminars, workshops and training days for up to 25 people at tables, talks for 50, and banquets, company dinners and wedding lunches for up to 80. It is a family-run nature hotel on the edge of Hauzenberg, in the Passau area of the Bavarian Forest in southeast Germany, with 18 guest rooms and its own restaurant on the same farmstead.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has one seminar room, with daylight and a door straight onto the garden. It seats 25 in a U-shape or around a block table, and 50 in rows. Fast Wi-Fi and current presentation equipment are included, and the team asks groups to send their requirements in advance. Meeting days follow a set rhythm: a morning break with fruit, yogurt and Bavarian butter pretzels, a lunch with a choice of two main courses, an afternoon coffee with cake, and a three-course dinner. The hotel can arrange leisure activities for team-building programs, and e-bikes and hiking and cycling routes start at the door.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant opens for private groups of 12 or more, including at lunchtime from Tuesday to Friday with at least two days' notice. The family lists civil wedding lunches, family celebrations, business dinners and company dinners among the occasions it hosts, and the seminar room takes a banquet of 80. Couples and their closest guests can stay in the 18 rooms.
Rooms and capacities
Seminar room: U-shape 25, block 25, theater 50, banquet 80. The restaurant is divided into five dining rooms, and there is a planted inner courtyard and a restaurant terrace for the summer months.
Accommodation
The 18 guest rooms are individually furnished and spread over three buildings. Each has a balcony or terrace, and the hotel describes them as quiet. One of them is a suite, and the house has a sauna. With 18 rooms, a small seminar group can stay together and have much of the place to itself.
Catering
The kitchen is the core of the house. The restaurant appears in the 2025 editions of the Michelin Guide, with a Bib Gourmand, and of Gault&Millau and Falstaff, among other guides. Menus for meeting groups range from a light lunch to a full gourmet dinner, and the hotel adapts them on request.
History and setting
The hotel occupies a listed granite four-sided farmstead, a traditional Bavarian layout of buildings around a central yard. It is run personally by the Ertl family. The setting is rural and quiet, outside the town and away from the main tourist routes, with woods and fields around it.
Getting there
The address is Grub 7, 94051 Hauzenberg. Passau is about 15 minutes away by car, and its main station has regional and long-distance trains. Munich Airport is the nearest large airport, roughly two hours by road. A car or a group transfer from Passau station is the easiest way to arrive.
