The story
Located in Gedern, Schlosshotel Gedern serves traditional German fare within a historic baroque setting. Küchenmeister Schultz directs the kitchen under strict Eurotoques guidelines, refusing to serve hormonally treated meat or genetically modified vegetables. Suppliers deliver fresh ingredients directly from the Wetterau and Vogelsberg regions, allowing the team to rely exclusively on raw salt and high quality herbs for seasoning.
Guests frequently order the venison loin wrapped in a thin herb crêpe mantle. It arrives alongside an apricot spice ragout and glazed seasonal vegetables. The pan fried trout offers a different profile, accompanied by marinated prawns and a classic beurre blanc sauce. Each course maintains a consistent balance between technique and the standards of regional German cooking.
The restaurant occupies a former palace surrounded by extensive parklands. Tables are set with damask cloths, cloth napkins, and fresh blooms. This majestic interior earned two ladles from the Schlemmer Atlas guide. Themed dinner events occasionally transform the space into an interactive theatre experience.
