Seminars of up to 112 participants, training days in small groups and company celebrations can be held at the Ringhotel Bundschu, a family-run hotel with seven meeting rooms and 60 guest rooms in Bad Mergentheim, the spa town of the Tauber valley in northern Baden-Württemberg. The combined function hall seats 112, and four smaller rooms take up to 19 people each.
Seminars and company events
Meetings are a core business here. The hotel publishes a room overview, conference packages and its own conference request form. Small rooms of 45 to 60 square meters suit workshops and board meetings, the Galerie takes 40, and the function hall can be used as two halves or as one space. A seminar garden lets groups work outdoors in good weather. Free Wi-Fi covers the whole building, and outdoor parking is free, with a paid underground garage and one space for a coach. Company parties, Christmas dinners and anniversaries are also organised in the restaurant areas.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel lists eight bookable configurations. Raum I covers 55 square meters for up to 19 people, Raum II 50 square meters for 16, Raum III 60 square meters for 19 and Raum IV 45 square meters for 18. The Galerie measures 85 square meters for 40 people. The function hall divides into VA rechts, 70 to 100 square meters for 50, and VA links, 60 to 90 square meters for 48. Opened as one room, VA gesamt covers 160 square meters for 112 people. For dinners and parties, the restaurant, the garden terrace, the Galerie and Oskars Bar take groups from 13 to 110 guests.
Accommodation
The hotel has 60 guest rooms in single, double, family and multi-bed categories, so a full seminar group can stay on site. A wellness floor with a sauna area and massage treatments is open to guests after the working day.
Catering
The kitchen works with seasonal regional produce and international dishes. For celebrations it prepares set menus to order, from cold buffets to hot dinners, with Mediterranean, hearty, vegetarian and vegan options. An outside catering service delivers for groups from a few people up to 400 guests, which helps when a company event takes place away from the hotel.
History and setting
Oskar and Maria Bundschu opened the business on March 29, 1958, as a spa establishment called Kuranstalt Bundschu, on the grounds of a former nursery. Their son Hansjörg took over at 17 after his father died in 1967 and guided the house through the reforms of the German spa system. In 2007 the third generation joined, and the family is still present in the hotel day to day. The hotel is part of the Ringhotels group of independent hotels.
Getting there
Bad Mergentheim lies where the Romantic Road meets the Württemberg Wine Route, beside a castle and spa park of 224,000 square meters. The hotel's address is Milchlingstraße 24, 97980 Bad Mergentheim. The town has its own railway station, and Frankfurt and Stuttgart are the nearest large airports, both reached by road or rail in under two hours.
