Seminars and company events
Privathotel Alte Mühle hosts meetings, training days, conferences and company parties for up to 220 participants, with 80 bedrooms in the same building. The four-star superior hotel stands in Weyhausen, in Lower Saxony, about 10 minutes by car from the center of Wolfsburg and from Gifhorn, and it presents its event wing as a conference center for the Wolfsburg area.
The two main meeting rooms, Phaeton and Continental, are each made of smaller column-free sections that can be opened into one space. The hotel shows them set up in U-shape, classroom and round-table layouts. Day and half-day meeting packages include a projector and screen, a flip chart, a pinboard and Wi-Fi, mineral water and apple juice in the room, specialty coffee in the foyer and a tea buffet. The full-day package adds two coffee breaks and a business lunch, served as a two-course meal or a buffet. An events team helps plan the program, and a meet and sleep arrangement combines the meeting with an overnight stay. A fitness room and a sauna are open to guests.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells private parties, weddings, annual company celebrations and Christmas parties for up to 90 guests. The Mühlenstube, with direct access to the atrium, takes up to 60 people. Two half-timbered rooms, the Kornkammer and the Altes Restaurant, each seat up to 22 for a family dinner or a small gathering before the main day. For a larger party, the Phaeton rooms open straight onto the terrace.
Rooms and capacities
Raum Phaeton covers up to 120 square meters across five combinable sections and takes up to 130 people for a meeting or 90 for a celebration. Raum Continental covers up to 138 square meters in three sections and holds up to 90. Both are step-free, bright and fitted with individually adjustable air conditioning. Phaeton also has an automatic fresh-air supply at room temperature. The Mühlenstube measures 130 square meters, the Kornkammer 44 and the Altes Restaurant 32.
Accommodation
The hotel has 80 air-conditioned rooms and suites in five categories: Standard, Business, Deluxe, Junior Suite and First-Class Suite. Speakers and whole delegations can sleep on site, which makes two-day seminars simple to organize.
Catering
All food comes from the hotel kitchen. Restaurant Esszimmer serves a seasonal menu built on fresh produce, and event catering runs from light snacks to a full gala dinner. Breakfast is served in the hotel each morning.
History and setting
In the 16th and 17th centuries the building was a stop for carters on the salt road between Hamburg and Magdeburg, and part of its half-timbered structure survives in the restaurant. In the 1950s locals knew it as the Sommersche Burg, and from 1960 as the house of a thousand schnapps. The Schrader family bought it in 1976 and opened a restaurant. The hotel itself was built and opened in 1983, when it took the name Alte Mühle after the Weyhausen mill that stood opposite. The current partners, led by managing partner Wolfgang Heitmann, took over in 2001.
Getting there
The address is Wolfsburger Straße 72 in Weyhausen, between Wolfsburg and Gifhorn. Wolfsburg main station is the nearest long-distance rail stop, and Hannover Airport is the closest major airport. Most participants arrive by car.
