Meeting and event venues in Thuringia

Planning a wedding in Thuringia

Thuringia, in the middle of Germany, is a Land of small former residence towns, each with its palace and park, set between the wooded ridge of the Thuringian Forest and the valley of the Saale. Erfurt and Weimar give a wedding a historic town setting that guests reach easily by train.

When to marry

May to September is the main season, with warm days in the towns and cooler evenings in the hills. The Thuringian Forest is fresher and wetter than the basin around Erfurt, and has snow in winter. Advent, with its Christmas markets in the old towns, suits an indoor wedding in a palace hall.

Getting guests there

Erfurt is a junction of high-speed lines, with direct trains from Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and Leipzig; Weimar, Jena, Gotha and Eisenach are on regional and long-distance lines. The local airport has few routes, so guests from abroad usually fly to Frankfurt, Leipzig/Halle or Berlin and continue by train. Castles in the forest need a coach or cars.

Palaces, castles and parks

The many small courts of the past left the Land an unusual number of residence palaces, summer palaces and orangeries with landscaped parks. Hilltop castles overlook the Saale valley and the edges of the Thuringian Forest, and former monasteries and manor houses complete the choice. In Erfurt and Weimar, historic halls and villas host receptions within walking distance of hotels.

The legal side

In Germany only the civil ceremony at the registry office (Standesamt) is legally binding; a church or free ceremony follows if wished. Many registry offices also marry in palaces and castles. Couples living abroad usually marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony at the venue.

Questions and answers

Which venues in Thuringia can host 100 guests or more?

3 of the 8 venues publish a capacity of 100 guests or more: Kaisersaal Erfurt, Waldhotel Berghof, and Hotel DER LINDENHOF.

Which venues in Thuringia have rooms for guests to stay?

5 of the 8 venues are hotels; the largest, Hotel Weisser Schwan, has 43 rooms. For the others, ask the events team about accommodation on site or nearby.

What kinds of venues are listed in Thuringia?

5 hotels, 1 castle, 1 event space, and 1 estate.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.

Where to get married in Thuringia?

In a palace with a park in one of the former residence towns, in a castle above the Saale or at the edge of the Thuringian Forest, or in a historic hall or villa in Erfurt or Weimar. The towns are easier for guests arriving by train; castles in the hills need a transfer.

When is the best time for a wedding in Thuringia?

From May to September for a ceremony in a park or a castle courtyard. The hills are cooler than the towns, so plan a covered alternative. Advent suits an indoor wedding close to the Christmas markets.
