Small seminars, workshops and team retreats for up to 50 people can be organised at Widmann's Alb.leben in Königsbronn-Zang, near Heidenheim an der Brenz on the Swabian Jura, a family-run hotel with a Michelin-starred restaurant, chalets and six meeting rooms. For larger groups, the team also runs events for up to 120 at the Alte Schule in nearby Söhnstetten.
Seminars and company events
The business offer is built for groups of 2 to 50 who want to work and eat well away from the city. Every room comes with a flipchart, two pinboards, a moderation case, Wi-Fi and HEPA air filters; a projector and a Samsung Flip digital screen can be added. Meeting packages are available, with lunch options ranging from a quick lunch break to a regional lunch. Evening programs and incentives include team dinners, pizza parties, cooking evenings in the Kochwerkstatt, outdoor programs, a guided evening hike of about 90 minutes, a fresh-air training session, a relaxation session and a talk on nutrition with tastings. The team also delivers business catering and party catering under the Partylöwe name, and organises Christmas parties.
Rooms and capacities
The Große Stube covers 60 m² for 10 to 30 people and opens onto the Löwengarten. A second 60 m² room takes 25 to 50, with blackout and access to the outdoor area. The Kochwerkstatt, a 50 m² cooking studio, takes 10 to 25 and has air conditioning, an acoustic ceiling, adjustable lighting and terrace access. The Küchentisch, 20 m², seats up to 16 and has a 55-inch screen with ClickShare. The Backhaus, 15 m², takes 2 to 16 and opens onto the terrace. The Gartenzimmer, 30 m², suits 5 to 9.

Accommodation
Guests stay in hotel rooms and suites in several categories, from single Landhaus rooms to Komfort, Exquisit and Alb.style doubles and family rooms, and in chalets that each have their own sauna and wood stove. The Alb.style wagons add a different option for a team night. The hotel holds a Michelin Key for 2024.
Catering
The kitchen is in-house. Ursprung, the gourmet restaurant, has held a Michelin star since 2019 and serves modern Swabian fine dining, which suits a closing dinner or a client evening. Gasthaus Löwen serves traditional Swabian dishes and has a beer garden and a summer lounge for informal evenings. Seminar lunches range from sandwiches and hand-held snacks to plated regional menus.
History and setting
The Widmann family has received guests here for more than 200 years, and the name has stood for regional produce for more than a century. The house sits in Zang, a village of Königsbronn on the Swabian Jura plateau, which makes outdoor sessions, walks and fresh-air breaks easy to fit between working blocks.

The address is Struthstraße 17, 89551 Königsbronn. The hotel is near Heidenheim an der Brenz. The website offers a route planner; ask the team about rail connections, transfers and parking when booking.
