Helbigs im Hotel Villa Marburg im Park

Heigenbrücken, Germany
Helbigs Fine Dining is set inside Hotel Villa Marburg im Park in Heigenbrücken, a quiet country-house retreat in the Hochspessart. The restaurant brings Nicole and Ludger Helbig’s next chapter to life, joining the culinary identity of Auberge de Temple with the established hospitality of Villa Marburg. The style is focused and exact, built for guests who value depth, quality and a clear sense of craft. The building looks understated from the outside, then opens into a mature park and a more layered world of food, rest and nature.
