The Markt Tännesberg is the first biodiversity community in Germany. For more than 20 years, our municipality has implemented a series of measures that contribute to safeguarding the diversity of species and varieties as well as to preserving and protecting important habitats for animals and plants. Since June 2015, the biodiversity municipality of Tännesberg has been recognized as a UN Decade Project, and in June 2017 it received another award from the UN Decade expert jury.

Our guests in Tännesberg benefit from these measures not only through their stay in a natural and intact environment, but also through a large number of regional productsthat are produced as part of the model project: Meat from Tännesberger Rotvieh, old potato varieties from extensive cultivation – “colored potatoes”, partridge zoigl, bread and baked goods made from old, local cereals such as emmer and spelt, fruit from traditional orchards and homemade organic forest and blossom honey.

Our contribution to biodiversity
Sustainability – back to the roots

Appreciating and preserving the beauties of nature – this has always been a value anchored in our family tradition. We planted an orchard decades ago, and so it is a pleasure for us to know that our fields are used in the name of biodiversity.

We also maintain a long-standing cooperation with many producers and companies from the region. We rely on regional products such as Tännesberger red cattle, trout from local ponds, potatoes from the local farm and deer and wild boar from our own hunt.

We also obtain our drinks from entrepreneurs in the region, such as Schlossbrauerei Fuchsberg, König-Otto-Sprudel, Neue-Otto-Quelle, Labertaler, Spirits Peschke, Distillery Schraml, municipal brewery Eslarn and brewery Würth Windischeschenbach.
