Take a deep breath and “unwind” at the Steinmühlen Lodge
No electricity, no running water—just water jugs and a construction-site toilet. The best places rarely stand out for their perfection, but rather for their authentic atmosphere and tranquility, which are hard to find elsewhere. With this in mind, the Steinmühle in Marburg’s southern district has now renovated its forest cabin for internal use. It’s a well-maintained forest cabin with sleeping quarters, a small kitchenette, a gas stove, a few cabinets, and a gas grill. Right outside the door, a mowed meadow and trimmed bushes await on a 3,000-square-meter property featuring both meadow and forest.
An extracurricular learning environment surrounded by nature
Anyone who has already been there—such as the group led by house director Nils Schwandt from the Steinmühle boarding school—will find that this historic facility, the former Steinmühle rural school camp dating back to the early 1970s, is the ideal place for extracurricular learning. The forester’s lodge was originally built as a hunting cabin for the Steinmühle hunting club of that time.
Even though hunting is now a thing of the past at the Steinmühle School and Boarding School, the Steinmühlen Lodge offers a different, extraordinarily intense connection with nature—far removed from TV and cell phone chargers.
Our photo shows our technical service team putting the finishing touches on the project.
If you are interested in staying here, the Technical Manager of the Steinmühle, Fabian Küster, will be happy to assist you (fabian.kuester@steinmuehle.net).
