New alpine architecture
The fact that we decided to give the Tannerhof a new direction and a new architecture in 2007 was not just a whim. Rather, we were faced with the decision to let the Tannerhof run as a sanatorium for another 5-10 years as it was, without any prospects for the future.
Or to convert it into a hotel - but that would have entailed major structural modifications, structural changes, up-to-date fire protection measures and an extension.
Out of conviction and love for this special place, we opted for the latter.
The design of the Tannerhof is the most normal thing in the world, even if it doesn't feel like a normal hotel, but juggles with the building activities of four generations, combining and overbuilding the old with the new, combining new towers with charming alpine huts from 1905. Potemkin-style backdrops in yodel style were not the intention,...
... but simply real houses.
It was important to us to create an architectural bracket for the various main buildings in different styles from different eras, without them losing their character.
The Alte Tann was to be
A venerable one-ridge farm
and the Tannerhof as a whole became clearer, more organized and dusted off. Structures had to be reorganized. We needed more rooms - that's how the hut towers came about.
A mutual friend recommended the Munich architect FLORIAN NAGLER to us. We met, liked each other and felt that our vision was understood.
We like our new, oldTannerhof. And so do more and more enthusiastic guests. And renowned architecture associations and journals have given it equally positive reviews.
The following prizes were awarded:
- Contemporary architecture in Upper Bavaria
- BDA Prize Bavaria for spatial effect
- German Timber Construction Prize for Building in Existing Contexts
- German Architecture Yearbook 2013
- Architecture Nike for composition
In 2025 we did it again.
The Bade Harpfe
is the latest chapter in the Tannerhof architecture. Inspired by the airy barns for drying hay that have stood in the Alps for centuries, our favorite architect Florian Nagler has rethought them - in the style of the Tannerhof: clear, alpine, without kitsch. Lots of light. Lots of air. And that special view into the distance.
Tradition and modernity come together here: a sauna with a panoramic view, a quiet room to relax in, two small fitness rooms and - finally - a 25-metre-long natural pool nestled in the meadow in front of the studio.
