WEDDING LOCATION

Team spirit, respect & fun

Our team at Schlossrestaurant Hellbrunn

When the wedding the night before goes into the morning hours, and the early morning service the next day is scheduled for our breakfast guests – this is when a true team spirit shows itself.

Markus Derkits, our manager, leads the team of the Schlossrestaurant Hellbrunn with a lot of warmth and understanding. Not only our guests should feel comfortable with us, but the well-being of our team is also very important to us! So we are grateful that all our employees have been with us for more than 5 years, some even more than 10 years!

Feel the unique flair of Hellbrunn.

Markus Derkits & the Hellbrunn team are looking forward to your visit!
