Learn at the family-run hotel in Bad Zwischenahn

Training at the Jagdhaus Eiden

Working where others go on vacation... what could be better? The “Residenz,” which has been owned by the zur Brügge family for four generations since 1902, has its own small beach and is located in an idyllic 10-hectare park. The lovingly landscaped, well-tended gardens, the many romantic forest paths with their large, old trees, the wide meadows – nature fascinates here in all seasons.

Our guests can relax in the 1,500 m² EidenSpa. In the Apicius gourmet restaurant and the Eiden restaurant, you can enjoy cuisine of the highest standard. Our team lives and breathes enthusiasm for the Jagdhaus Eiden in all areas of our family-run 4-star superior resort. We, the zur Brügge family, work in the business ourselves and always have an open ear for guests and employees. We are a team, and you can feel it.

Together with our team, we have developed high quality standards that we want to maintain in the future. We can only achieve this as a team that pulls together.
And to ensure that we continue to have a strong team, we attach great importance to providing sound training in-house.

Additional benefits during training

Trainee car / Trainee of the month

Hard work pays off! Our trainee of the month, who has earned this title through outstanding performance, is given our trainee car, a Fiat 500 E, for one month.
In addition, there is an extra payment of €120.00 gross. Isn't that great motivation?!

Personal mentor during training

From the start of your training, you will be assigned a trainee from a higher year who will provide support and answer any questions you may have.
But all other employees are also always available to listen.

Trainers/trainees

We are convinced that there must be a balanced relationship between trainers and trainees in order to teach trainees what they will need later in their professional lives.

Trainee exchange

As part of the Romantikkooperation program, trainees have the opportunity to swap training places with another trainee anywhere in Germany for one week.

Training courses

In-house training: In-house training courses on various topics related to the hotel and restaurant industry are held at Jagdhaus Eiden for all trainees and other interested employees.
Romantik seminars: The Romantik cooperation offers seminars and employee training courses in all areas. These take place on a regular basis.
FWGN seminars: We are a member of the FWGN (Förderverein zur Weiterbildung des gastronomischen Nachwuchses e.V., Association for the Further Training of Young Gastronomic Talent). This association offers seminars, training courses, further education and study trips for owners, master craftsmen, trainers, skilled workers, trainees and specialist teachers in a wide range of subject areas. The FWGN also organizes its own competitions, where participants can win a variety of titles, experiences and prizes.

Thanks to these training courses and seminars, it never gets boring here, because you never stop learning.

Concentrated expertise

In the kitchen, for example, you will learn how to cut up a whole deer. We work with fresh fish, which is delivered whole and then processed. So you will learn the work steps from the ground up. In the restaurant, you will have a real wine expert at your side in the form of sommelier Marco Scheper. Over 100 years of concentrated expertise – you too can benefit from it. On May 2, 1902, Johann zur Brügge and his wife Marie Hemmjes opened the Zur Erholung restaurant, which over the years has developed into today's Jagdhaus Eiden. Some of our former trainees now hold top positions in large hotel chains or run their own hotels or restaurants.

Good career opportunities

As a rule, we hire more than 80% of our trainees after they complete their training—and who knows, maybe you'll find yourself in a management position after just a few years of professional experience? Or you could climb the career ladder at one of our Romantik colleagues throughout Europe.
We are also open to in-service training. Our employees undergo continuous training in all areas in order to meet the highest standards.
