Things should go quickly after the groundbreaking ceremony for a hotel and boarding house on the Dorfen Tonwerk site.
The opening is scheduled to take place this summer.
Dorfen
– Construction work for a new hotel and boarding house on the Tonwerk site in Orlfing began with a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony.
The Timber One Motel is expected to accommodate its first guests in four months at the latest.
From booking to checkout, everything will be done digitally, so that even last-minute guests can check in around the clock.
The Tonwerk with its gastronomy is now a popular location for large celebrations, far beyond the district borders.
Last year alone, 26 weddings took place here, and this year there will be even more, says David Ritter, who has been managing director of Tonwerk GmbH in Dorfen for two years.
There are also seminars, further training and company events.
Now there is still a lack of adequate accommodation: “Because the future is up here,” postulates Ritter.
Robert Decker, who owns the site and wants to develop a new district on the former Meindl site, is moving along.
The Timber One Motel will be built entirely from wood and in modular construction and will cost six million euros.
53 rooms in eight different categories are offered, from suites to simple double rooms.
The price range is from 79 to 117 euros per night for two people.
All rooms are modernly equipped, including a kitchenette.
For larger events, when many guests are staying at the hotel, a breakfast buffet in the neighboring Mogli's can also be booked, explains Markus Friedl, who has been running other hotels in the city for the Decker group since 2017.
The hotel headquarters is located in the Marienhof.
“There are no visible employees – an advantage given the current personnel shortage.”
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Dorfen's third mayor, Sven Krage, was enthusiastic. After all, many young people from the area would be celebrating at the Tonwerk on the weekends and could spontaneously stay overnight in the new hotel: "Sometimes it's better to leave the car behind."
With a view to the conversion of the former industrial area into a modern residential area, Krage said: “A city the size of a village can tolerate two centers.” Second Mayor Ludwig Rudolf particularly praised the cultural development of the Tonwerk. “We have now left Erding behind,” he did not say without pride.
