A Frei Raum means just what its name says

People meet in seminar centres for very short periods of time to contemplate and discuss intently very important issues and ideas. This is also true of Munich Re, the proprietors of Schloss Hohenkammer, when their employees hold meetings here. They therefore know from personal experience how beneficial it is that people can gather in between daily seminar activities in a space that is free of set goals and constraints. A room that provides breathing space and tranquillity, as well as a place to clear one’s head: a Frei Raum (“free space”), to be precise. This room at Schloss Hohenkammer is located close to the reception area. There is no better place to go than here when you feel like finding food for thought, encountering interesting ideas or enjoying productive distraction.
 

Cooperative Thinking

The deepening and expanding of
knowledge and the networking of skills
is of fundamental, visionary and decisive
significance to a leading international
risk carrier like Munich Re. This mindset
is reflected strongly in our related
activities. The current exhibition in
the Frei Raum deals with this idea in
that it examines the question of how
“cooperative thinking” functions. What
are typical forms of this and what are
the advantages and disadvantages of
the various formation groups? Examples
begin with cooperative thinking in teams
and span to the much cited “think tanks.”
A wealth of surprising insights awaits
exhibition visitors.
