Cooking, good food and drink and looking after our guests: this is our mission. We fulfil it with passion and dedication – and with a sense of responsibility. Towards our guests, ourselves, nature and in particular towards those who require support.
We don’t believe that we are in possession of any eternal verities, but because we are lucky enough to be able to work with passionate people we have developed certain attitudes that we try to live up to in our daily work in order to fulfill our responsibilities. We believe that it is important and necessary, especially at the present time, to take a firm stand on one point: we bring together people regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, origin, social status or disability. We strongly oppose discriminatory treatment in our surroundings.
Since its foundation in 1963, our company has stood for successful integration. At the beginning people came from southern Italy, then from the Balkans and today they come from all over the world to work with us and to seek their fortune in Germany. They may even have come as our guests. We thank our destiny for the fact that we were born and raised in a prosperous and safe country. We’re therefore happy to reach out across countries and borders to all those who want to accompany us on our journey and are people of good will. At the same time, we would prefer all those who think differently or are homophobic to look elsewhere for their accommodation.
Ulli & Christian
Mittermeier
Almost typical in the hotel and restaurant trade: the two got to know each other at a hotel – in fact during their apprenticeship at the prestigious five-star Hotel Bareiss in the Black Forest. Christian had already trained as a butcher at home in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, but in the Black Forest both of them gained their initial hotel experience, which has since stood them in good stead.
Even then Christian remembers that Ulli had a lot of taste and no less skill in furnishing her trainee’s room on a limited budget – an ability that she has developed professionally in the course of her career. Today she is responsible for the entire interior design of Villa Mittermeier and the neighbouring hybrid hotel Mittermeiers Alter Ego – the latter in cooperation with the architect Prof. Martin Schroth, who was responsible for the overall architectural concept.
But back to the beginnings. After three varied and instructive years at Hotel Bareiss, the two moved to Hotel Euler in Basel in 1989, only to set up their own business in the same year and take over the Burgschenke restaurant in Lörrach. After another five years in which the Burgschenke developed into one of the culinary highlights in the border triangle, new and exciting challenges awaited them in their former home area of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
In 1995 they took over Hotel Mittermeier from Christian’s parents and continued to develop it into today’s Villa Mittermeier. Christian Mittermeier is a member of Jeunes Restaurateurs d’Europe (JRE), an association of top young chefs. He is now of course no longer one of the young guns, but a respected member of the table d´honneur of the JRE. His experience and cosmopolitan outlook are also in great demand elsewhere. For example, he advises the Electrolux Group and its AEG brand on the development of new appliances and is a global brand ambassador. He also inspires people on international cooking stages and at experimental cooking events with new creations and culinary techniques. He is happy to pass on his knowledge and experience in the form of cookery book articles and columns, for example on Zeit.de from 2010 to 2013.
