Environmental Conservation & Sustainability

Award for sustainable ecological and future-oriented engagement

We support the preservation of values and the considerate treatment of nature and our environment as a whole. Sustainability and environmental conservation are important issues for us, which is why we are making sure that natural resources are used carefully.

In 2011 the Hotel Linslerhof became a “Certified Green Hotel”. As a conference hotel, the Linslerhof belongs to the few business hotels which fulfill the strict requirements of the German Business Travel Association (VDR).

IWith our overall concept for sustainable and ecologically forward-looking behaviour, we are pioneers in the Saarland.

Energy

We are one of the largest private producers of solar power in the southwest and supply more than 10,000 households in the region with environmentally friendly electricity. We also produce solar power for our own use.

E-Mobility

Hotel guests can charge their e-vehicles at our two 22KW wall boxes at low cost. And 10 times faster than at a household socket!

Bees

As a bee-friendly farm, we have a wildflower meadow and our own bee colonies, which produce delicious Linslerhof honey. (Available at the reception).

Water

The farm’s own purification plant ensures that only biologically purified water is discharged into the “Linslerhof water conservation area”. This ensures the best possible use of the scarce resource water.

Drinks

As an alternative to a minibar in the room, our “Roten Salon” is a 24-hour self-service bar. You are welcome to leave drinks at the reception for cooling.

Gastronomie

Our gastronomy attaches great importance to sourcing products from regional suppliers. The vegetables are 100% locally grown, we serve Moselle wine from the Saarland, various Demeter wines as well as schnapps and beer from the surrounding area. Our coffee and espresso as well as the chocolate are Fairtrade and organic certified. Vegetable and meat cuttings are processed into stocks and soups. Induction plates are used to save energy and the lights in the restaurant stay off until shortly before the guests arrive. Strict waste separation is also observed, and the abolition of part-time service eliminates unnecessary work trips.

Modern agricultural management at the Linslerhof

Agriculture and livestock characterize the long history of the Linslerhof. Pigs, cattle and horses found their place in the spacious stables and on the fields cereals, oilseed rape or potatoes were grown.
The passionate farmer Ewald Meyer has been successfully running the fields and administration of the riding business for more than 35 years as a service provider with more than 50 horse boxes and the many surrounding paddocks.

Rye, barley, corn and oilseed rape are grown on the estate’s 130 hectares of farmland. As an integral part of modern agricultural management, crops change every three years to sustain and renew soil fertility. Hay and straw are harvested on a further 130 hectares of land owned by farmers, which can therefore be used without long distances in the riding business.

Certified Green Hotel

Our hotel, awarded as a Certified Green Hotel, stands for sustainability and environmental awareness. We are committed to protecting the environment while providing a high standard of service to our guests. From using energy-saving light bulbs and natural cleaning products to promoting local and organic food in our restaurant, we implement measures that minimise our ecological footprint. Our hotel is proud to be part of a movement that promotes a sustainable future, and we look forward to welcoming our guests in an environment that is both comfortable and sustainable. Stay with us and support sustainability without sacrificing comfort.
