Sun
We harness the energy of the sun through two different techniques. On the roof of the hotel and the lobby are photovoltaic panels, which produce a combined output of 35 kilowatt hours. 80 m² of thermal solar panels on the mill roof support the need for hot water in the hotel.
Water
An Ossberger turbine, which replaces the original undershot water with a diameter of 4.8 m, also generates energy for the in-house power grid. Even before the turbine was built, the river Brigach supplied the property with energy for the grinding plant for over 400 years.
Wood
Since we feel a strong connection with the region we live in, we decided over 10 years ago to supplement our traditional heating system with a wood pellet heating system. The wood comes from local forests and thus guarantees short access routes and a local value chain.
