About us
Five design-driven hotels and event locations – CO₂-neutral, centrally accessible, and flexibly combinable for tailor-made events
FREIgeist Hotels in the heart of Germany bring together five hotels, event venues, and unique locations around Göttingen – all defined by high-end design, sustainability, and exceptional culinary diversity.
Two properties are members of Design Hotels™, and one is part of Relais & Châteaux.
Whether urban by the main train station with a rooftop terrace, Nikkai cuisine, container bar, and event spaces; versatile with a show kitchen, Italian deli, Levantine cuisine, and sky bar; close to nature at a design hotel in the middle of the forest; industrially inspired next to Europe’s largest vehicle collection with a concert and event hall; or exclusively located beneath a castle ruin at the Relais & Châteaux BurgHotel with a castle park and whiskey distillery – each property is a special place for unforgettable events.
All hotels are operated CO₂-neutrally, reachable from all major cities within three hours, and can be used individually or in combination. They blend regional roots with an international design standard, creating spaces for inspiration, connection, and truly unique events.

The Hardenberg Distillery is part of the centuries-old Hardenberg-Wilthen family business, with a spirits-making tradition dating back to 1700.
Since 2019, the distillery has combined modern innovation with artisanal craft, using high-quality ingredients—many of which come from its own regional agriculture.
Its portfolio includes Hardenberg Korn, Beverbach whiskey, gin, vodka, and fine brandies.
Visitors can explore the full "field-to-glass" experience through guided tours, tastings, and workshops.
Nestled in the Leine Valley near Göttingen, the distillery is surrounded by forests, rolling hills, and historic landmarks like Hardenberg Castle and Manor.
Quartiersküche FREIgeist Göttingen Nordstadt
The Quartiersküche is a modern, fully‑equipped culinary studio of about 150 m² located within FREIgeist Göttingen Nordstadt.
It features top‑of‑the‑line kitchen appliances (Miele brand), with four cooking islands, induction cooktops, steam ovens, baking ovens, warming drawers, a Wok station, and a Teppanyaki grill.
A special highlight is the Dialogue Oven, which ensures even cooking across all dishes.
There’s also a two‑zone wine cooler always stocked to accompany the cooking experience.
Adjoining the kitchen is the “Quartiersblick” room — a 100‑120 m² light‑filled event space where guests can enjoy meals together after cooking or host events.
The Quartiersküche can serve multiple roles:
as interactive cooking classes taught by the house chefs,
as a Showküche (show kitchen) for watching culinary action live,
or for private dinners & events where guests can partake in cooking or simply enjoy.
It’s ideal for team events, celebrations or culinary gatherings, offering both functionality and an inviting, communal atmosphere.
PS.SPEICHER - Classic Car & Interactive Experience Museum
The PS.SPEICHER is an interactive mobility museum located in Einbeck, Germany. Housed in a historic former granary, it showcases over 400 vintage vehicles across six themed floors – including motorcycles, cars, trucks, and microcars.
The exhibition traces more than 130 years of automotive history through immersive installations, multimedia stations, and hands-on exhibits for all ages.
With changing special exhibitions, a driving simulator, and a focus on both nostalgia and innovation, PS.SPEICHER offers a unique journey through the past, present, and future of mobility.
Skybar FREIgeist Göttingen Nordstadt
The Skybar at FREIgeist Göttingen Nordstadt sits atop the hotel and offers stunning panoramic views over the city skyline.
It’s a stylish rooftop venue perfect for after-work drinks, laid-back evenings, and exclusive events — often accompanied by live music or DJ sets.
The interior combines industrial design with warm, modern touches: large steel-framed windows, exposed concrete, and cozy lounge furniture create a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Whether for cocktails at sunset or private celebrations, the Skybar is one of Göttingen’s most vibrant and elevated hotspots.
Golf Resort Hardenberg
Hardenberg GolfResort is located in the scenic Levershausen region near Northeim in Lower Saxony and is one of Germany’s top golf destinations.
The resort offers two 18-hole championship courses—the Göttingen Course and the Niedersachsen Course—both set in rolling hills and beautiful landscapes, providing a challenging and enjoyable experience for golfers of all levels.
In addition, there is a 6-hole public course, a floodlit driving range for evening practice, and a professional golf school led by a master instructor.
The resort is known for its welcoming atmosphere, allowing dogs on the courses and offering convenient amenities such as RV parking with free electricity for golfing guests.
Just a short drive from the Hardenberg BurgHotel, the GolfResort is ideal for both leisure and competitive golfers seeking a peaceful and picturesque setting.
