History & Philosophy
The premises of hotel Strandhaus Spreewald look back on more than 85 years of tradition. Already in 1928, confectioner Willy Petrenz sold coffee and cakes at the premises of the Strand Cafe, which was opened 1930.
Since then, the venue has shaped the societal life of the city Lübben. Still today, it is a popular place for events of all kinds, such as weddings or dances.
