History & Philosophy
Everything started in 2001 when Heiner Buckermann acquired the hotel „Zum Kurfürsten“ on the Kueser plateau in Germany. At that time, the hotel had 56 rooms, and was mainly used as a stop for guests visiting on bus tours.
Organically the idea matured to change the hotel into an upmarket and unique spa resort. Heiner Buckerman reminisces: “I remember those early days… At that time, our spa was limited to a small private sauna in the basement, which also housed a recreation room.
