The splendid ensemble in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, is considered the ultimate. A third golf course is set to open soon.
It is said that every room breathes the spirit of its occupant. Rarely is the signature of the owners so clearly felt as in the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land. Located just 20 minutes by car from the Goethe, Schiller, and Bauhaus city of Weimar, the Grafe family has established a refuge where even the smallest detail reflects their high standards and style.
A Distinctive Note of Personal Hospitality
This personal hospitality shapes the atmosphere throughout the complex: from the 94 hotel rooms and suites and seven residential units in the family building, to the LindenSpa, the wellness area expanded in 2023 to 3,000 square meters with high-end offerings, and the resort’s seven restaurants.
Seven Restaurants, Two Michelin Stars
The Masters restaurant, under Executive Chef Danny Schwabe, and The First, by Marcello Fabbri, each hold a Michelin star for French-inspired and Italian haute cuisine, making Weimarer Land quite unique. The Güldene Zopf in the nearby town of Blankenhain specializes exclusively in Thuringian specialties. Every January, the resort hosts a Culinary Open event—a walking dinner gathering renowned Michelin-star chefs.
Elegant Design with Quality Materials
Throughout the resort, wood, stone, rich textiles, leather, and warm colors create an elegant yet relaxed ambiance. Every piece of furniture and décor was personally selected by owners Astrid and Matthias Grafe, reflecting their spirit.
Matthias Grafe often quotes his father, who advised his sons to earn so much with plastic business that they could afford natural materials. Mission accomplished: the Grafe family, originally from Sauerland, settled here over 30 years ago. Their company, Grafe Polymer Solutions GmbH, is a leading manufacturer of color concentrate additives and compound plastics. Since 2010, the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land has been developed on neighboring purchased lands.
Goethe and Feininger Courses with 18 Holes Each
Project architect Achim Reinmuth designed the original 18-hole golf course, now known as the Bobby Jones Champion-Course, nestled in the scenic Thuringian landscape once walked by Germany’s poet Goethe 200 years ago. By 2012, the two loops evolved into the wooded, artfully bunkered Goethe-Course (5,971 meters, Par 72) set in the Weimar hills and the flatter Feininger-Course (5,707 meters, Par 71) featuring water hazards and challenging greens. The original 6,280 meters, Par 73 course remains for major tournaments.
The Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land Experience
The resort complex was thoughtfully built from the ruins of the former Slavic farm Gut Krakau, including a hotel in courtyard style, a charming ‘GolfHütte’ with golf reception, pro shop, and restaurant, and the Champions Dinner Hall for over 120 guests.
