Schloss Hohenroda, Castle estate in Hohenroda, Germany
Schloss Hohenroda is a manor house located northeast of Fulda featuring multiple communal areas and outdoor terraces. The property contains seventeen bedrooms with private bathrooms, two large seminar rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen for hosting various events.
The manor house was built in 1907–1908 for Adolf Hupertz, a former Düren industrialist and estate owner, to plans by the Munich architect Angermeier (probably Jakob Angermair). Hupertz had come to Oberbreitzbach about three years earlier and named his new estate Hohenroda. After the financial losses of the late 1920s the property passed in 1932 to Elisabeth and Ilse Steffens, in 1955 to the Hattorf potash works, and in 1976 to estate manager Leo Fughe.
The name Hohenroda was coined by Adolf Hupertz for the estate district he created between Glaam, Mansbach and Oberbreitzbach. A decorative coat of arms with a stylised H for Hupertz, framed by a half wreath, survives on the balcony railing above the entrance. The building is used today as a seminar and guest house for group trips, family gatherings and celebrations.
The estate can accommodate up to 40 guests and features various spaces suited for different activities. Visitors should plan ahead to ensure the right facilities are available for their specific needs.
The decorative coat of arms on the balcony balustrade encloses a stylised H for Adolf Hupertz, framed by a half wreath. After restoration, supported by the Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz, the lettering "Hohenroda" was removed from the triangular gable and the former yellow facade was repainted in restrained white with grey corners.
