Energy

There is more to come

That is why we are currently planning to build our own wood chipping plant. The wood used will come exclusively from our own forest and from the farmers on our plateau. This autonomous heat generation will be designed in such a way that we can also supply our agriculture and also the surrounding neighbours with this organic wood heat. Alternatively or in parallel, we will consider an expansion of the solar system or even new geothermal heating systems. Since 2022, we have been obtaining the firewood for ambient fireplaces in the hotel from our own forest. Furthermore, we mainly use natural materials in our renovations and investments (e.g. organic clay walls in the new natural rooms and suites).

Our source of power

A sustainable future – Hotel Klosterbräu*** is committed to green energy!** 🌿

Since summer 2023, our hotel has been generating around 140MWh of electricity annually using a 150kW system. To date, we have generated an impressive 215MWh ourselves – this not only means less energy sourced from external suppliers, but also a saving of approximately 86,000kg of CO₂. That’s equivalent to the effect of 2,500 trees being planted! 🌳✨

And we’re going even further: from April 2025, we’ll be expanding our sustainable energy production with a 240kW system in the car park, which will supply around 230MWh annually.

In the wellness area, too, we’re committed to eco-friendly solutions: a 60m² solar panel system provides hot water here – for sustainable relaxation with a clear conscience.

Green energy that inspires – for you and our environment.

Energy optimisation

In 2019, various energy saving & electricity management measures were implemented with the company Siemens, involving an investment of €700,000. Since 2020, we have been free of fossil fuels, with the exception of the gas line for the pizza oven.

A TOUCH OF TRADITION THAT LASTS!

OUR CLASSIC KEYS INSTEAD OF ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEMS

At Hotel Klosterbräu*** we intentionally choose classic room keys over modern electronic locking systems. While this may seem nostalgic at first glance, for us it’s a responsible decision – and a charming detail that perfectly fits with our 500-year history. 

Our guests pick up their keys personally at the reception – creating genuine connections and leaving room for personalized tips and a friendly chat. Unlike electronic systems that require hundreds of batteries per season, the classic key saves both energy and resources.
