The splendid resort in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, represents the pinnacle. A third golf course is coming soon.
Every space is said to breathe the spirit of its owner. Rarely is the personal touch of a property’s founders as palpable as in the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land. Located just 20 minutes by car from the cultural city of Weimar, home to Goethe, Schiller, and the Bauhaus movement, the Grafe family has established a sanctuary where even the smallest detail reflects their commitment to quality and style.
A Unique Touch of Personal Hospitality
This personal hospitality shapes the atmosphere throughout the entire resort: from the 94 rooms and suites of the hotel and seven residential units in the family building, to the LindenSpa—a 3,000 square meter wellness area expanded in 2023 featuring high-end offerings—and to the seven restaurants that now belong to the resort.
Seven Restaurants, Two Michelin-Starred
The Masters, led by Executive Chef Danny Schwabe, and The First by Marcello Fabbri, have each been awarded a Michelin star for their French-inspired and Italian haute cuisine, respectively, making Weimarer Land quite unique. The Güldene Zopf in nearby Blankenhain focuses exclusively on Thuringian specialties. Additionally, Grafe annually hosts the Culinary Open in January, a walking dinner event gathering top chefs.
Elegant Design Reflecting Quality and Relaxed Perfection
The resort’s ambience is defined by wood, stone, rich textiles, leather, and warm colors—everything exuding high tactile quality, substantial elegance, and relaxed perfection. Every piece of furniture, fabric, and decorative element is personally selected by owners Astrid and Matthias Grafe, truly reflecting their spirit.
Goethe and Feininger Courses with 18 Holes Each
Originally designed by architect Achim Reinmuth of Städler & Reinmuth Golf Design, the 18-hole Bobby Jones Champion Course is set in the gentle landscape of Thuringia, where the poet Goethe once walked. By 2012, the original course’s halves were developed into the wooded, artfully bunkered Goethe Course (5,971 meters, par 72) located in the hills of Weimar and the flatter Feininger Course (5,707 meters, par 71) featuring water hazards and challenging greens. The original layout (6,280 meters, par 73) remains as the core and is mainly reserved for major tournaments.
Plans for a Third 18-Hole Golf Course
Looking ahead, the resort plans to build a third 18-hole golf course in the northeast section amidst 110 hectares of forest land already acquired, promising both scenic beauty and challenge. This addition will make the resort truly unique. Matthias Grafe’s vision is to develop the site into a tourism hotspot in Thuringia, aligning with his goal to invest in the future and the summer seasons.
