House & Furnishings
In our hotel, we implement various measures to reduce energy and resource consumption, from technical equipment and rooms to catering and wellness.
LED lighting: Our hotel is equipped with modern LED lighting and motion detectors in the hallways. This helps reduce energy consumption and combines energy efficiency with pleasant lighting.
Electricity from renewable energy sources: We source our hotel electricity from renewable energy sources, as specified by our energy supplier. This is part of our measures to reduce energy-related emissions.
Cosmetics & Care: Our rooms are equipped with high-quality, refillable toiletries sets from the brand Valentina & Philippa. This allows us to reduce the use of single-use plastic packaging. In the spa area, we use certified natural cosmetics from PHARMOS NATUR, which meet the NCS standard (Natural Cosmetics Standard).
Cleaning with micro-dry steam technology: For cleaning, we rely on micro-dry steam cleaners from Medeco Cleantec. This allows us to reduce the use of conventional cleaning agents in daily hotel operations and, in many areas, even completely eliminate the need for additional cleaning chemicals.
Electromobility: We offer our guests with electric vehicles two charging stations directly at the hotel.
Accessibility : We take accessibility into account in the design of our building and the accessibility of central areas.
Waste separation and food recycling: We place great importance on consistent waste separation and responsible food handling. In our kitchen, we work with ReFood to ensure that leftover food is put to good use.
Responsible water use: In our sanitary facilities and public areas, we use modern pressure regulators that control the water flow. This allows us to reduce water consumption without compromising the comfort of our guests.
Fresh from the herb garden: Head chef Daniel Bruder passionately tends our own herb garden. He harvests the aromatic herbs directly on site for the dishes in the castle restaurant. This way, we use fresh herbs from our own cultivation and avoid additional transport for these ingredients.
For nature
We are committed to preserving and promoting biodiversity in our immediate surroundings through selected projects.
Our tree planting campaign
Since the beginning of 2023, we have been supporting tree planting campaigns for the reforestation of the Derenburg municipal forest together with VERIS Certifications GmbH. The aim of the project is to plant around 10.000 trees annually.
Everything for humanity
Our understanding of responsibility at Schlosshotel Blankenburg includes the careful use of resources as well as fair cooperation and the strengthening of our region.
Continuing education : Regular training of our employees on sustainability topics is particularly important to us. An internal Green Team develops and supports sustainability measures and moderates internal discussions on these topics.
Space for Artists: Since November 2023, we have opened our doors to artists from the region who can present their work in our historic setting. This initiative is part of our commitment to the local community and creates space for regional art and culture. An overview of the artists can be found here.
Accessibility: We take accessibility into account in the design of our hotel and the accessibility of central areas.

Conscious enjoyment
In our restaurant, we value mindful enjoyment and concrete measures to reduce packaging and waste. Here you can learn about the steps we implement in our daily operations.
Our own beehives
Immediately behind the castle hotel, we have set up our own beehives in cooperation with an experienced beekeeper. The location, in close proximity to the baroque gardens, the castle park, and adjacent green spaces, offers the bees a diverse range of food sources.
Our own honey complements our culinary offerings. The beehives are part of our measures to promote biodiversity in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
