Fritz am Brunnen in Schwelm takes workshops from four people, seminars and team days, conferences of up to 120 seated and receptions or weddings of up to 300 guests. The house combines a hotel, a park and a set of event rooms on Brunnenstraße, between Wuppertal and Hagen.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers nine room variants for meetings. The Fritz-Saal is the plenary room, with 120 seats in parliament rows, 60 in a U-shape or 40 around a block table, used for conferences, plenaries and evening events. The Glashaus is formed by joining Raum F and Raum G: it seats 110 in rows and looks onto the park, which makes it a bright room for presentations and receptions. On their own, Raum F and Raum G each take 40 in rows, 30 in a U-shape or 20 at a block table, a size for workshops, trainings and team days.
Smaller groups can use Raum A and Raum B for 12 to 14 people, with Raum B divisible into three for parallel breakouts, and Raum 5 and Raum 6 for 12 to 14 people for coaching, interviews or project work. The Business Lounge, for up to 10, suits a board meeting or a confidential discussion. Day packages cover a half day, a full working day, or a full day with dinner, each with the room, basic technology, drinks, breaks and lunch. Projectors, sound systems, microphones, pinboards and video technology can be added.
Weddings and receptions
The house is set up for weddings from ceremony to late party. Couples can hold a free ceremony under the old trees of the Fritz Park, for 100 guests or more, then move to the Fritz-Saal in the historic half-timbered building for a dinner of up to 120. The Glashaus takes an aperitif or a larger reception of up to 300 guests, and the Dot.Bar, for up to 100, turns into a club for the evening. The lobby and the terrace serve for welcome drinks and breaks.
Rooms and capacities
The largest configuration is the Glashaus for receptions of up to 300, followed by the Fritz-Saal (120), the Dot.Bar (100), Raum F and Raum G (40 each), Raum A, Raum B, Raum 5 and Raum 6 (12 to 14 each) and the Business Lounge (10). The park adds an outdoor area for ceremonies and summer events.
Accommodation
The hotel has seven room categories, from Fritzchen, Fritz and Friedrich to studio singles and doubles, a duplex and a loft, split between an older building with a half-timbered part and a newer wing. Breakfast is served each morning in the breakfast room, a fitness room is free for overnight guests, and hotel guests park free of charge.
Catering
Breaks, lunches and dinners come from the in-house kitchen and are timed to the meeting agenda. For weddings the same kitchen covers the day from the reception to the midnight snack.
