Ringhotel Sellhorn
Wesselburen, Germany · Independent · Near Luxury
Peter Christoph Friedrich Sellhorn opened the inn Zu den Linden in 1873 on a leased pig pasture called Brinkbusch, in Hanstedt in the Lüneburger Heide. The lindens still stand by the main house on Winsener Straße. In 1947 the family cut the first four guest rooms, with hot running water, which the town treated as a sensation, and in 1969 they added what they call the first indoor hotel pool in the Nordheide. Nele Landschof and Sven Dierksen, the sixth generation, run the Ringhotel now.

Peter Christoph Friedrich Sellhorn, born 1839, married Catharina Tödter in 1871 and leased a 6,334-square-meter pig pasture called Brinkbusch in Hanstedt. In 1873 they opened the inn Zu den Linden and farmed beside it. In 1899 their son Friedrich Wilhelm bought out the lease for 1,740 marks. The first four guest rooms, with hot running water, came in 1947. An indoor pool the family calls the first hotel pool in the Nordheide opened in 1969. The house joined Ringhotels in 1973, took the Sellhorn name after Elfriede married Horst Dierksen, and passed on 1 January 1993 to Axel Dierksen and Ina Maria Lochbihler.
