Nature Resort Schindelbruch X MEISSEN - Art and Aesthetics in the Southern Harz
#MEISSENHOSPITALITY
  • Life is at its best when it lets you come to rest. Deep in the south Harz, in the heart of central Germany, amidst the beautiful idyll of nature, full of lush beech forests and extensive parkland, the unique Nature Resort Schindelbruch invites you to take a relaxing break, to appreciate the beauty of life and to celebrate the art of enjoyment. The wellness hotel impresses with a stunning building ensemble of historical and modern components with 96 lovingly designed rooms, suites and apartments, three restaurants and a 2,500 square meter wellness area.

    We at MEISSEN share this enthusiasm for the beautiful, the valuable and the extraordinary, which Ritter von Kempski lives out with the operation of the wellness hotel. For this reason, we have worked together to create an extensive art and interior collection for the Nature Resort Schindelbruch, which invites you to experience this enthusiasm for yourself. To this end, impressive porcelain figurines from the early 18th century have been placed throughout the resort. As a further highlight, ultra-modern wall installations made of white gold can be found in the exclusive suites, which take up the essence of the masterpieces and depict them in an abstracted form with just a few strokes. An exclusive table and dinner service for the gourmet restaurant, developed on the basis of the "MEISSEN® COSMOPOLITAN" and VITRUV collections, and last but not least the first MEISSEN hotel store round off the complete package.
„In a most impressive way, the Ritter von Kempski Collection has succeeded in taking up the cultural asset MEISSEN at its roots and transferring it into the modern age.“
Dr. Tillmann Blaschke
  • With the installation of the porcelain animal sculptures in the ultra-modern hotel complex, as well as the adaptation of the iconic works on fabulously beautiful wall installations, a bridge from tradition to modernity has been built in an impressive way. The figurines used, from the wheel-beating peacock, to the noble heron and the macaw, to the monkey with a snuffbox, are an important piece of MEISSEN history, dating back to the early 18th century. Many of these figurines are originals that were originally created by Johann Joachim Kaendler, one of MEISSEN's most important porcelain modelers. Hired by Augustus the Strong himself as a court sculptor and modeler at the porcelain manufactory, Kaendler began early on to make the king's dream of a castle made of pure porcelain come true. Thus, starting in 1731, he created numerous animal sculptures for the Japanese palace, which have now been recreated for the cooperation with the Schindelbruch Nature Resort.

    The dream of a porcelain palace now lives on in the Nature Resort Schindelbruch. Since 16.08. the hotel can be visited. Experience an impressive exhibition of arts and crafts in the midst of relaxation and tranquility. A lasting experience.
