Down-to-earthness and flights of fancy

Hohenkammer is located about thirty min­utes from Munich. How­ever, vis­i­tors are far away here when it comes to their level of peace and con­cen­tra­tion. Re­moved from the daily stress and tire­some rou­tine, guests can feel an at­mos­phere of power­ful seren­ity here. The excellent learn­ing centre Schloss Hohen­kam­mer im­bues this sense of au­then­tic­ity and down-to-earth­ness to its guests in abun­dance. This pro­motes cre­ative flights of fancy and big ideas.

The principle of sustainability

In 2003, when Schloss Hohen­kam­mer was about to under­go an ex­ten­sive re­stora­tion, those re­spon­si­ble also decided the castle with its Gut Eichethof to be more than just a simple sem­i­nar centre. The eco­nomic-eco­log­i­cal unity, which they had been for cen­turies, was also to be reestab­lished.

The farming estate and cas­tle be­long to­gether not only his­tor­i­cally, but are also closely con­nected as a pro­ducer and cus­tomer and as an en­ergy sup­plier and con­sumer. The es­tate’s forests sup­ply not only wood as a build­ing ma­te­rial, but are also in­te­grated into daily sem­i­nar life as an “out­door lo­ca­tion” for ac­tiv­i­ties. Our guests ben­e­fit from it in nu­mer­ous ways: they en­joy the park, the sur­round­ings, the cui­sine with or­ganic prod­ucts from our own farm, as well as our fine brandies, oils, and vine­gars. The principle of sus­tain­abil­ity above all – vis­i­tors can lit­er­ally taste it.

Munich Re

Schloss Hohenkammer was ac­quired and care­fully re­stored by Munich Re in 2003 – also in con­sid­er­a­tion of their own use. Since then, the rein­sur­ance firm has used Hohen­kam­mer as a seminar and con­fer­ence centre, as have other major com­pa­nies and event orga­nisers.

A castle as work environment

Schloss Hohenkammer combines the past and the fu­ture. The his­toric water cas­tle and the ultra-modern re­cep­tion and guest­house form an en­sem­ble. Ex­pec­tant cus­tomers and in­ter­na­tional guests char­ac­terise the climate. Relax­ing sur­round­ings and con­cen­trated work de­ter­mine the at­mos­phere. Watch­ful spir­its and sym­pa­thetic helpers are needed at the castle.

You are looking for…
…a wide variety of tasks to per­form; an ami­able and well run team is look­ing for­ward to wel­com­ing and work­ing to­gether with you. Com­mit­ment, ini­tia­tive and a ser­vice-ori­en­tated atti­tude are a given for you? Then, welcome!

We offer…
…a performance-re­lated above-av­er­age pay in a 13-month an­nual salary, in­clud­ing 30 va­ca­tion days per year. We pro­vide your uni­forms and their clean­ing. We also en­cour­age your de­sire to pur­sue fur­ther train­ing and ed­u­ca­tional op­por­tu­ni­ties. If re­quired, we can pro­vide you with an apart­ment or a staff room in town. We would be happy to in­form you in a per­sonal con­ver­sa­tion about the other vol­un­tary social ben­e­fits provided by Schloss Hohenkam­mer GmbH.

Concerts

A castle for music

Those who stroll through the cas­tle hear its sounds. The castle court­yard is per­fect for a sum­mer con­cert, the event hall is ideal for pop and rock, the Zirbel­stube needs the zither, and the beer garden loves the sound of Bavar­ian brass bands play­ing dur­ing a Sun­day morning pint.

An experience to be heard, felt and lived.

Art on location

New paths

Anyone who believes that art in cas­tles must be sur­rounded by heavy frames and hon­or­ably pre­sented on the walls will find no such thing at Schloss Hohen­kam­mer. Instead, vis­i­tors en­counter a revival of mu­ral paint­ing, a com­mon art form dur­ing the Re­nais­sance: for ex­am­ple, the text sculp­ture by Lawrence Weiner in the for­mer chapel, or the airy, veg­e­ta­tive mu­rals by Martin Schwenk. Hamish Fulton is the vis­i­tors’ artis­tic com­pan­ion. Sixty-five of his works of his ex­plo­ration of all the car­di­nal points can be found in the rooms of the hotel. The artist has left us a mes­sage in his large mu­ral in the en­trance area.

History

Time lapse

Schloss Hohenkammer has a past that de­mands re­spect and an obli­ga­tion to the future:

In 1042, the Lords of Camer gave this place “Hohen­camer” their name and erected a cas­tle here. The ‘von Camer’ fam­ily line re­sided here for more than 500 years, until they were su­per­seded by the Barons of Has­lang. In their re­gency, the cas­tle was burned down to its walls in 1648 in the final days of the Thirty Years’ War.

The reconstruction of the cas­tle in the Bavarian Re­nais­sance style gave the struc­ture its present form. The von Has­langs lived for nearly 250 years on their cas­tle es­tate – until it passed into the pos­ses­sion of the von Prey­sing fam­ily in 1804. From then on, the pe­ri­ods of owner­ship were briefer. The von Prey­sings were fol­lowed by the Lords of Cotta, who, in turn, were re­placed by the von Vequel fam­ily. In the early 20th cen­tury, the cas­tle be­came the seat of the Bavarian Raiff­eisen Cen­tral Co­op­er­a­tive, which moved to Hohen­kam­mer in 1917.

The castle was given its present des­ti­na­tion in 1973, when it was con­verted into a train­ing cen­tre. When Munich Re assumed owner­ship of the es­tate in 2003, it con­verted it into a sem­i­nar centre.

On our own behalf

The estate in the castle

We are so proud of our Eichethof Estate that we have brought it into the castle – a small exhibition at the back of the reception foyer in the passage to the court­yard. Find out and see where the food that you eat in the castle comes from and how the ingredients are produced. It’s definitely worth a look as you will then be more aware of the food you are savouring!

Good news

With their “Exzellente Lernorte” (excellent learn­ing centres), sem­inar ho­tels have developed a new co­oper­a­tion amongst them­selves. Each mem­ber per­suades through its indi­vidu­al­ity; to­gether, all of us share a new qual­ity: more in­nov­a­tion and cre­ativ­ity. That’s good news for speak­ers and trainers.

The provision of optimal premises and fa­cil­it­ies was always a given at Schloss Hohen­kammer, as were the cor­res­pond­ing ser­vices. What is new and what will char­ac­ter­ise the future are spaces that in and of them­selves are a concept and pure innov­a­tion, fos­ter­ing a cre­ativ­ity that is con­ta­gious. For speak­ers and train­ers, new and excit­ing pos­sib­il­it­ies for train­ing, coach­ing and other forms of learn­ing and teach­ing open up. And this is truer than ever now that like-minded sem­inar hotels in Germany with the same qual­ity stand­ards have found one another. Schloss Hohen­kammer is very happy to be a found­ing mem­ber of “Exzellente Lernorte”.
