25 years of Alexandrinenhof: Bad Doberan's cult location celebrates its anniversary!

In Bad Doberan there is a big celebration on July 12th: TheAlexandrinenhofcelebrates its 25th anniversary! A meeting place that stands for art, culture and cuisine and attracts visitors from near and far with its historical charm. investorHeiko Aschenbeckbrought this unique place to life in 1999 after discovering the city and its venerable building complex immediately after the fall of communism. Since then he has breathed new life into the ensemble, which was built in 1825.

Aschenbeck, who originally comes from Hude in Lower Saxony, was immediately enthusiastic about Bad Doberan, although a planned town partnership unfortunately did not materialize. His vision was to create a place where visitors could immerse themselves in the world of crafts and experience culture. The renovation of the complex was no walk in the park, as parts of it were in dire need of renovation - one of the buildings had even had fungal infections. But the result is impressive!

A place for all senses

In theAlexandrinenhofVisitors not only find workshops of master craftsmen and modern art, but can also stroll through small shops. A lively mix of tradition and innovation is created here. This is a popular starting pointCafé Zikke, which is considered one of the best restaurants in Bad Doberan. With its internationally inspired dishes, it attracts many guests every day and has quickly made a name for itself. The café was originally run by committed young people and is now an integral part of the Alexandrinenhof.

A tour of the historic buildings is like a short excursion into another time. Visitors can not only admire the works of art, but also immerse themselves in the leafy courtyard with its babbling water feature. It's a wonderful place to relax - a perfect place to escape from everyday life.

Perspectives and challenges

The galleries inAlexandrinenhoflive from fresh ideas and changing artists. A studio that has been empty for a long time has now found a new tenant, but Aschenbeck is still looking for a suitable tenant for the still vacant business space directly oppositeCafé Zikke. A factory or delicatessen could be the ideal addition here. In addition, Aschenbeck has already built two new residential buildings nearby, which are currently rented and house an architectural office.

On July 12th there will be various festivities at Alexandrinenhof that celebrate both the past and the future of this charming place. Baltic Sea newspaper reports on the numerous events that have taken place here over the years, including openings, concerts and court festivals.

This anniversary not only celebrates the proud history of...Alexandrinenhofsacknowledged, but also looking to the future. Artists and creative people find a place here, and citizens and visitors are invited to experience the cultural diversity that makes Bad Doberan so special. A place really worth discovering!
