The Grand Hotel Heiligendamm is where tradition, warm hospitality and culinary excellence meet in perfect harmony. Located directly on the beautiful Baltic coast close to Rostock and steeped in history, the hotel welcomes guests from all around the world – many of them in the fourth generation of families.

Fine dining takes centre stage at the prestige establishment. In the gourmet restaurant, Friedrich Franz, Michelin-starred Chef de Cuisine Ronny Siewert celebrates classical French haute cuisine. The dining experience is complemented by the Kurhaus Restaurant offering Grand Hotel classic dishes, a stylish sushi bar with live preparation and the laid-back elegant Nelson Bar. From Wiener schnitzel to sole, regionally sophisticated dishes to international cuisine – this is the essence of cooking with passion and precision.

The comprehensive kitchen refurbishment in 2023 was a milestone for the entire team. The centrepiece: two individually configured MKN cooking suites to optimally cater to all segments – from fine dining to banquets. "The decision for MKN was spot on", says Steffen Duckhorn, who has worked at the hotel for over two decades. He is particularly impressed by the clear structure and easy handling of the MKN cooking equipment during the daily routine as well as FlexiChef's fully automatic cleaning system : "We used to have to scrub the equipment, now we just close the lid and five minutes later everything's spotless. It's a real labour saver in day-to-day operations."

 "We had very little time for planning, but with the support of our kitchen manufacturer and a visit to MKN in Wolfenbüttel, we found exactly what we needed." A look behind the scenes at the MKN factory particularly sticks in his memory. "To be honest, it was extremely exciting and great fun seeing our ranges being built from start to finish and everything put together so precisely. As we stood in front of the fully assembled equipment, we just looked at each other and said: It's perfect."

The result is a kitchen that is both functional and inspirational. It is modern, durable, efficient and sustainable and sends a strong signal to the next generation of chefs. Come and experience the Grand Hotel Heiligendamm, where cooking is a passion and MKN technology makes all the difference.
