Romantic hotel at the Wartburg Company anniversary: "It's still fun even after 30 years!"
Eisenach, 15.03.2022 - The staff at the Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg in Eisenach are just as loyal as many regular guests. Some employees have been with the hotel for many years - and some even for decades. Director Hannes Horsch has recently celebrated several anniversaries, such as Gudrun Adam's 30 years of service.

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.
