Macherhaus is a workshop and seminar space for small teams in the old town of Miltenberg: up to 12 people in a workshop layout, 16 at a dinner or facing a speaker, and 25 standing. It suits strategy days, team retreats, project kick-offs, leadership coaching and small dinners or networking evenings. The space sits at Hauptstraße 187 on the historic Marktplatz, and a booked group has the whole house to itself.
Seminars and company events
The hosts are trainers, facilitators and coaches themselves, and they designed the house for groups that need to work rather than sit through slides. Their own list of formats covers future workshops, strategy retreats, business model reviews and project kick-offs; team and culture work such as leadership coaching, retreats, team building and mediation; and exchange formats such as dinners, networking meetings, book launches, wine tastings and fireside talks. On request they can facilitate the workshop, help build the agenda, or add photo or video documentation, meditation, coaching and process design.
A typical offsite day uses the seminar room for plenary work, the library for breakout groups, and an Altstadt restaurant for lunch. Breaks can be taken on the Marktplatz, along the Main promenade or toward the Odenwald hills.
Rooms and capacities
The house covers 90 square meters in total. Its core is a seminar room of about 60 square meters with a view of the Marktplatz and free seating. The tables were made for the house and turn from standing tables into work tables in seconds. An eight-meter innovation wall with pinboards, whiteboards and flipchart rails runs along the room for keeping track of work in progress.
A library serves as a breakout room for small groups and quiet talks, and a corner with armchairs is set aside for fireside conversations. A mobile media screen on wheels carries a 55-inch 4K display with HDMI, Apple TV, a camera and microphone for video calls, and a magnetic whiteboard on the back. A rolling coat rack, five standing or work tables, at least six bar stools by Miura, at least ten chairs by Arper and two armchairs complete the furniture.
Always included are the innovation wall, whiteboards and flipcharts, a 4K TV, pens, paper, sticky notes and fast internet. A full HD projector, a microphone and sound system and a facilitator's case can be added. Bicycles can be parked in the inner courtyard.
Catering
A small kitchen with fridge, coffee machine and kettle is part of the house. The team organizes breakfast, an afternoon snack, juices, soft drinks, beer and wine through local partners, and a service person can be booked. The day package includes organic coffee and drinks, and the hosts recommend restaurants in the old town for lunch and dinner.
History and setting
Miltenberg lies on the Main between the Spessart and the Odenwald. The house stands in the old town, directly on the historic Marktplatz, and the seminar room looks out over it.
Getting there
The address is Hauptstraße 187, 63897 Miltenberg. By car, Aschaffenburg is about 40 minutes away, and Würzburg and Frankfurt am Main about one hour. Parking is a short walk from the house.
