Welcome to the Hotel Alte Werft in Papenburg

In the mechanical engineering hall in which Meyer Werft made 1975 compressors in the emsländischen Papenburg of 1870 up to the company move the hotel "Alte Werft" was opened in the beginning of 1995. Where it smelt more than 30 years ago of oil and grease, today coffee smells. Where sweaty men with helmet and security shoes slaved, now hotel company in the breakfast buffet helps themselves. The travelling crane with the gigantic hook rests in poppigem Peppermint painting under the glass roof. Models of Meyer ships decorate the walls. Mighty punch and drills control the entrance hall and the restaurant "Schnürboden". These relics of the industrial age lend an unmistakeable character to our hotel. An amusing mixture of past and modern age expects you.
