About Us

This house has a special spirit

The Oberkirch – more than «just» a hotel-restaurant

Many of our guests, whether they are Freiburg residents (by choice), exiled Freiburg-born people or simply Freiburg enthusiasts, have their own personal emotional connection with this historic house. They tell us how they celebrated family celebrations here, met the love of their life or said goodbye to loved ones – a special, positive spirit emanates from these walls that accompanies us in our daily work and also affects our self-image.
We are tradition-conscious and in love with Freiburg, and with us individual personalities create individual enjoyment: whether it is when discussing your wishes in detail and answering your questions on the phone, accepting your reservation, your arrival at our house, the loving care during your stay in the hotel and restaurant or a warm farewell with anticipation of seeing you again soon:

It is a matter close to our hearts to not only bring you closer to the hospitality that has been practiced in our house for over 275 years, but also to the multifaceted nature of our city and our region with its history, its traditions, its cosmopolitanism and all its wealth – historical, cultural and culinary.
But of course we are not just passionate hosts. As a company, we are also firmly anchored in the city and the region. As an employer with social responsibility and trainers by conviction, we want to preserve and pass on the values ​​that are dear to us and, in doing so, face the changes in the world with openness. We network in partnerships and attach great importance to progress through cooperation – be it with our long-standing suppliers and service providers or with potential cooperation partners in the region’s professional network. Regionality and sustainability have also been a priority in our house, even before they became a trend.
