In summer 1991, nearly two years after the wall came down, (after the introduction of the free-market economy and the abandoning of state socialism), we decided to leave our home in Holsteinische Schweiz (Holstein Switzerland, a region in northern Germany) and establish a hotel in Mecklenburg. Due to our love of water, nature and small town life, we chose Waren at the Müritz. We found “our” location, close to the Binnenmüritz and the city centre, on the land of a former city farm, when Waren was still a farm town. After more than two-years of struggling hard with the authorities, we could begin work in autumn 1993 and the HOTEL "INGEBORG", named after the owner Ingeborg Grüneklee, opened in August 1994. The HOTEL “INGEBORG" was then taken over by the second generation of the Grüneklee family and has been run, in the same hospitable manner since 2007.
We have captured the colours of the landscape of the Mecklenburg Lake District and painted our building in light and blue. Enjoy the personal atmosphere of our hotel! We wish you a pleasant stay and hope that you feel comfortable.
With kind regards
Your Team at Hotel Ingeborg
