Wartburger Hof, in the German-style town of Wartburg, is
situated
in the KZN Midlands 30km outside Pietermaritzburg, the
capital of KwaZulu-Natal. Founded in 1890 by Lutheran
missionaries, the architectural and interior design of
Wartburger Hof gives the impression of a typical Bavarian
country hotel. Here is found the WARTBURGER BREW HOUSE,
where Siggi Schadle, a born and bred Bavarian, together
with Swiss-born Max Haller, brew beer according to the
German purity law, learnt from the German specialists who
trained them.
