The Boutiquehotel Stadthalle is the first city hotel with a zero-energy balance. 80 rooms including 38 rooms in the new building which is designed as a passive house and 42 rooms in the original house, a house built at the turn of the century.

Well water is collected for toilet flushing and garden irrigation. Two electric filling stations are planned in front of the hotel. All 38 rooms in the passive house are only equipped with LED and energy-saving lamps.
