Overview
- Harz district officials confirmed Timberjacks will assume the hotel and gastronomy on April 1 under the new Brocken Mountain Lodge name as long‑time tenant Daniel Steinhoff steps down for personal and health reasons.
- The Brocken plateau has been owned by Landkreis Harz since summer 2025, and the county is steering a broader tourism redevelopment of the summit.
- Plans call for renovating roughly 3,000 square meters, upgrading historic interiors, and expanding the hotel to up to 80 rooms alongside a refreshed restaurant and beer garden.
- Timberjacks aims to replace the snack-focused offer with a full-service menu featuring freshly prepared breakfast items, burgers, steaks, bowls, and salads, ultimately targeting about 160 dishes.
- A limited offer around Easter 2026 has been reported but remains uncertain, while the comprehensive reopening of the reworked concept is planned for 2027.
