History, wherever you may look

Villa Botsch

Right beside our hotel, all but in our arms, is the time-honoured Villa Botsch.

 

The “Maschinenfabrik und Eisengießerei Gebrüder Botsch” was a machine factory and iron foundry in Bad Rappenau. The company existed from 1865 until 1975. It gained significance primarily in the late 19th and early 20th century through a number of patents for machines and devices for the mechanization of farming businesses. Sowing- and mowing machines made by the brothers Botsch were sold internationally. 

This is how colourful and versatile our home is ...

This you need to see and experience! From gorgeous gardens to exciting moments at the salt mine or the Experimenta.
