We are proud to announce that our hotel has sponsored a beehive right here in Lindau. For some time now, there’s been a constant buzz and hum right in our neighborhood, as we actively support a local beekeeping operation - thereby promoting not only biodiversity but also the sustainable development of our region.
The answer is simple: Bees are essential to the ecosystem. They not only pollinate flowers and plants, but also help ensure our food supply. Through our sponsorship, we make a small but important contribution to protecting the bee population while also promoting local biodiversity.
For us as a hotel, this means more than just making a statement about sustainability—it’s putting responsibility into action. Sponsoring a bee colony offers many benefits:
The Hotel Alte Schule is a prime example of a successful blend of the historic and the modern. Listed as a historic landmark, it has stood on this site for nearly 700 years. We renovated it with great passion and care, without stripping it of its “soul.”
As a hotel, we must demonstrate compliance with strict guidelines and significant reductions in four categories: energy/climate, water consumption, waste generation, and the procurement of regional/organic food.
Gold criterion: A hotel receives the Gold level only if it scores well above average in the evaluation of these metrics and meets the most demanding sustainability benchmarks.
The responsible use of resources, sustainable work and living, and our own environmental footprint are important to us. Since we opened in 2016, we have continued to seek even better solutions for the products with which we are not yet satisfied in light of these considerations.
We’re very pleased to have found new “partners” in the area of cleanliness: Winterhalter has launched a great dishwasher detergent with its Ecolabel. The professionals at Alpenland Laundry ensure your laundry comes out fresh. A master-certified business with impressive eco-certifications right in our neighborhood. Sonett not only manufactures eco-friendly yet effective cleaning products, but is also practically a local supplier to us. It’s based in Deggenhausen—just 60 km away from us! See for yourself the great work these companies are doing:
The Bavarian Environmental Pact was first established in 1995 with the aim of encouraging businesses, entrepreneurs, and government agencies to implement environmental protection measures that go beyond legal requirements. Of course, we’re happy to be a part of this as well!
