Tannerhof

Bayrischzell, Bavaria, Germany

The Tannerhof has been in existence since 1905 and can look back on over 120 years of living in harmony with nature and holism – now in its fifth generation of family ownership. 

Holism, mindfulness, living in harmony with nature – none of this is new here, nor is it a fad or a trend. Rather, it is something that has been tried and tested and practised for five generations. Today, the Tannerhof moves between culture and agriculture, hotel operations and healing arts, organic gourmet cuisine and therapeutic fasting. It offers architecture ranging from farmhouses to simple chambers to award-winning hut towers. It offers a cultural programme from mandolin to electric guitar and displays contemporary art in a 1960s bathhouse. 

Nestled between mountains and lakes in Bayrischzell, southeast of Munich, it offers sweeping views of the Leitzach Valley and the Wendelstein. The entire estate covers 16 hectares of beautiful mountain landscape with streams, meadows and forests, where the animals belonging to the Tannerhof feel at home and roam freely.

The Tannerhof is a place without frills: substantial, unconventional and easy-going. This hideaway in the mountains is full of contrasts, a place of new discoveries and rediscoveries. The motto is: ‘Come as you are!’

Sustainable

Architecture

The different buildings of the Tannerhof come from very different times. In order to gain more space for the guest accommodation, several new buildings were built in the course of the century in addition to the originally existing old Bavarian farm ensemble. Meanwhile, the Tannerhof is practically a small village with many different houses, cabins and houses to discover. For example, the founder included some small so-called air huts in the forest, which look like veritable little alpine huts and enable the guest to live as close as possible to nature. The latest achievement is the 2012 hut towers, which are spread out between the trees. They are clad with wooden shingles and combine three rooms built on top of each other on a small floor space in order to seal as little floor space as possible. The Tannerhof has received several architectural prizes and awards for this (";Current Architecture in Upper Bavaria", BDA Award for Bavaria for "Room Effect", German Timber Construction Award for "Building in Stock") The German Architecture Museum included the Tannerhof in the German Architecture Yearbook 2013. And the BDA still awarded the architectural "Nike" for "composition".

Food

Motto at dinner: "Eat what comes to the table". In order to avoid unnecessary food disposal, there is no menu for individual selection, but a dinner menu for all guests. Vegetarian wishes are taken into account on advance notice. And on two evenings there is a vegetarian menu anyway. All the ingredients are 100 percent organic and, as far as possible, seasonally and regionally, sometimes even grown or produced. In the morning there are, among other things, home-baked bread and ayurvedic rice porridge.

Whoever works here has little to complain about. Good air is inclusive and to working conditions, as they should be everywhere: fair, equal pay, a friendly open togetherness and collegial, cheerful working atmosphere. Further education and support are offered and, where possible, recognized refugees are employed. Thanks to these good working conditions, there is an above-average workforce that has been working for many years at Tannerhof - and that too is sustainable. And by the way, not only the employees are loyal. The guests come sometimes for decades again and again. And even participated in the conversion: by acquiring profit participation rights, guests and friends could financially support the project.

Environment

At the beginning of the 20th century, the couple from Mengershausen moved to Tannerhof with their children and their cones. The main reason for this was the thought "back to nature" in an increasingly industrialized world. Naturally, this was accompanied by a concept of sustainability right from the beginning, but at the time it was not so hip, but instead simply lived. Since was recycled and up-cycled what the stuff holds, although the terms were not even known, and so it is still done today. Furniture and building materials are being rebuilt, and barns that are forfeited elsewhere brought here and rebuilt instead of building new ones. The concept of sustainability has been consistently followed up with appropriate designation in all areas. Electricity is generated partly by itself and additionally comes from Greenpeace Energy. Plastic is dispensed with as much as possible and the waste is separated. In addition, attention is paid to resource-saving management and economics everywhere. Thus, the Tannerhof has always and now officially 100 percent certified organic.

Well-Being

The Tannerhof has a simple indoor swimming pool, an outdoor natural pool, a bathing harp with a panoramic sauna and relaxation room, as well as a gym for strength training and one for endurance training, a Kneipp basin and a varied weekly programme with yoga, tai chi and fitness groups. Guided hiking, aqua gymnastics and autogenic training are also on offer, as well as lectures on various health topics. All of this is included in the price of your stay. A variety of different relaxation and wellness treatments can be booked separately, such as cosmetic treatments for the face or body, e.g. with honey or aloe vera. There are also treatments aimed at improving specific physical complaints, such as a wide range of massages, special wraps, or respiratory and physiotherapy treatments. 
 As has been the case since the early days over a hundred years ago with the founder of the Tannerhof, Christian von Mengershausen, his descendant Burgi von Mengershausen still runs the practice today. A visit to the doctor without waiting times and with plenty of time to talk and answer the right questions.
