Waldhaus zur Asse, also called Assewirtschaft, rents out six rooms for weddings, conferences, seminars and company events, with a total capacity above 300 guests. The largest, a hall with a stage, holds about 200. The lodge stands on the edge of the forest at Wittmar, in the Asse hills near Wolfenbüttel, and combines the event spaces with a restaurant, a catering service and overnight stays.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists company events and conferences next to private celebrations. For a working day or a seminar, the Kleiner Saal is the room it recommends: it seats about 40 and is described as suited to meetings, seminars, anniversaries and Christmas parties. For a larger conference, the Festsaal with its stage takes about 200. The rooftop terrace, for about 30, is suggested for team events and small receptions, and the Waldhöfchen, for about 100, for tastings and summer parties. Catering is provided by the house, so lunches, buffets and coffee breaks can be ordered with the room.
Weddings and receptions
The Festsaal with stage is the room named for weddings, and the venue publishes a news item about holding a wedding at the lodge. Smaller receptions fit the Waldhöfchen, for about 100 guests, or the Kleiner Saal, for about 40. The kitchen can prepare a menu chosen by the couple, and the house bakes its own cakes and pastries. A wine selection from the region, including natural wines and liqueurs, is also sold and served on site.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives approximate figures for each room. The Festsaal with stage holds about 200 people. The Waldhöfchen holds about 100. The Gastraum with bar holds about 35, the Kleiner Saal about 40, the rooftop terrace about 30 and the Clubraum with a television about 25. The venue states a total capacity of more than 300 people. The rooms are described as flexible: tastings, summer parties, club meetings, after-work evenings and private gatherings are among the uses listed.
Accommodation
The event offer is presented as location, catering and overnight stay. The pages we reviewed do not say how many beds the lodge has, so ask for the number and the room types if your guests need to stay.
Catering
The kitchen serves a mix of German classics and Georgian dishes, such as the cheese-filled bread called khachapuri. The same kitchen supplies the catering service, which covers buffets, set menus and cakes for private and company events, with a menu adapted to your wishes. The house pastry shop produces fresh baked goods.
History and setting
The lodge is described as the oldest inn in the area around Wolfenbüttel. In 1737, the former ducal forester's house received the right to serve beer and soon became a popular excursion destination. The site notes that Duke Wilhelm came here on hunting trips and that the poet Heinrich Heine drew inspiration from the landscape. The building sits at the forest edge, and the venue also hosts a classic car meeting each year.
Getting there
The address is Asseweg 38 in Wittmar, in the municipality of the Asse hills. The restaurant is open to the public on Friday evening and from Saturday to Sunday, and closed Monday to Thursday. Private events are arranged through the online event request form.
