Culinary creativity meets regional quality – welcome to the world of Schlehdorn cuisine. For us, cooking is more than just a profession, it’s a passion that we all share. Our experienced and dedicated kitchen team is busy every day pampering the palates of our guests and creating unique taste experiences.
Our cuisine is regional, seasonal and emotional – as our Naturpark Wirt & Hotel certification shows. It means that we bring fresh and regional ingredients from Baden-Württemberg directly to our guests’ plates and offer them the best Black Forest quality. We attach great importance to supporting local agriculture and producers.
Our menu therefore reflects the colorful diversity of the seasons. From delicious starters to hearty main courses and heavenly desserts – we have something for every palate.
As part of our kitchen team, you will have the chance to live out your talent in the kitchen. You can let off steam creatively, learn and help to create unique taste experiences. We love learning from and inspiring each other. Because that’s what makes our kitchen so special.
My name is Zakaria. I come from Morocco and have been training as a chef with the Schlehdorn family since 2024. In my home country, working conditions are often difficult and good training opportunities are rare. That's why I decided to come to Germany to build a better future for myself.
Training as a chef takes three years and I learn something new every day - not just about cooking, but also about the German language and culture. Cooking is my passion and I always want to develop myself further so that I can be successful in my profession later on.
With the Schlehdorn family, I have the opportunity to gain different insights into 2 different kitchens, the one in the Hotel Schlehdorn and the one in the Köhlerei am See.
I've found a great team here that supports me and helps me to settle in.
As a native of the Black Forest and a trained chef and master chef, I can look back on a proud 35 years of work experience. During this time, I have worked for numerous employers, but none were like the Schlehdorn family. As head chef at the Köhlerei, I have the opportunity to pass on my love of cooking to young talents. In my job, creativity and emotionality, but also discipline and ambition are crucial. At the end of the day, it's all about making the guests happy. I still remember the words of a guest who once said to me: "A chef is like a conductor, you have to be able to put everything together, people and ingredients." These words inspire me every day and show me that my work is much more than just preparing food - it is an art that connects people and makes them happy.
