Since 2017, we have been a partner of a very special facility: the specialist dermatology hospital at Friedensburg Castle. Embedded in the historical atmosphere of the imposing castle, modern medicine is practiced here at the highest level – with a clear focus on the skin health of patients. And this is exactly where we were able to make a contribution.
Right from the start, our task was anything but ordinary:
To plan and implement an efficient, hygienic and highly flexible kitchen within the walls of an old castle. Walls 1.5 meters thick and listed structures set clear structural limits – and made the implementation a real pioneering project.
However, the requirements went far beyond structural challenges.
No standard catering is offered at Friedensburg Castle. Each patient receives individually tailored meals – freshly prepared, high quality and often comparable to the cuisine of a Michelin-starred restaurant. This requires not only craftsmanship on the part of the kitchen team, but also technology that is flexible, reliable and resilient.
From the very beginning, our team was responsible for the entire refrigeration technology – from the cold rooms to the peripherals – as well as for the kitchen technology. Sustainability, reliability and longevity were particularly important to us.
To this day, we regularly carry out maintenance – from cleaning the condensers and replacing probes and sensors to comprehensive hygiene maintenance. Because the same applies to technology: only with continuous maintenance can quality and safety remain at the highest level.
Why is all this so important?
Because nutrition plays a central role in dermatological therapy. The skin – as the largest human organ – reacts extremely sensitively to environmental factors and food. Industrially processed convenience products are out of place here. That’s why we cook fresh food every day at Schloss Friedensburg – without any additives or convenience products.
We are proud that our work is helping to make a real difference for patients – with technology that works in the background but noticeably helps in everyday life.
