Gudrun Adam started at the Wartburg in 1992 as secretary to the then hotel director Hans Schneider. Over the years, she has seen directors come and go, and her duties have changed. At the end of the 1990s, the event business was expanded and Gudrun Adam now works as a banquet and event coordinator. "I like working here. The workplace is great and I enjoy the fantastic view from above every day. The interaction with my colleagues is very nice and it's still fun even after 30 years - it doesn't seem that long to me...", says Adam.

One highlight for her was the celebrities who showed up at the Romantik Hotel at Wartburg Castle. The Thuringia native proudly recounts that she once even shook hands with Queen Silvia of Sweden and Richard von Weizäcker. "But it wasn't just that - the whole package is just right."

Daniela Darr and Rainer Süßmilch certainly agree: both have now been working at the Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg for five years. Darr as Customer Relations Manager (currently on parental leave) and Süßmilch as Night Auditor. Gudrun Adam's long years of service are surpassed by Michael Jäckel, the host of the Gadem Castle Café at the Wartburg: in April 2021, he had already been with the company for 45 years.

Director Hannes Horsch presented the long-standing employees with gifts during a small ceremony. "Working in a hotel like this brings something new every day. It makes me proud and grateful that so many of our employees are willing to get involved in life at the hotel every day and remain loyal to us for so long," he said.

The Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg, situated high above Eisenach, offers a wonderful view over the Thuringian Forest and the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach as a neighbor of the almost 1000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Wartburg. Guests of the hotel particularly appreciate the excellent gastronomy, the small, fine wellness area for relaxation and the warmth of all the staff. The Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg is part of the Rostock-based company arcona HOTELS & RESORTS. The shareholders of the arcona Group are Alexander Winter and Prof. Stephan Gerhard.

arcona HOTELS & RESORTS

Founded in 2008, arcona Hotels & Resorts, based in Rostock, is a company specializing in the operation and development of hotels. As part of its reorientation towards the leisure and vacation hotel industry, arcona sold its city hotels at the beginning of 2019. The remaining six hotels are located in established vacation destinations such as Rügen, Sylt and Kitzbühel. The well-known Hotel Elephant Weimar, the traditional Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg and the Schloss Teschow golf club are also part of arcona's portfolio. Barefoot Hotels will be a new business segment in the future. In 2018, arcona signed a long-term contract with Barefoot founder Til Schweiger for the worldwide implementation of the concept as a licensee. Accordingly, arcona intends to open further Barefoot Hotels at prominent destinations in the coming years. The shareholders of arcona are Alexander Winter and Treugast founder Prof. Stephan Gerhard. The company is based in the listed Zeeck'sche Villa designed by architect Paul Korff in Rostock. Further images and information can be found at www.arcona.de
