PLUTA attorney Florian Zistler ensures continued operation of Taste Smart Hotel Lampertheim

The Local Court of Neu-Ulm ordered provisional insolvency administration for Taste Hotel Lampertheim GmbH on 12 May 2026. It also appointed attorney Mr Florian Zistler from PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH as provisional administrator. Taste Hotel Lampertheim GmbH based in Neu-Ulm runs the three-star Taste Smart Hotel Lampertheim north of Mannheim. The hotel remains fully operational and open to guests, and reservations can still be made.

Located between the Odenwald mountain range and the Palatinate Forest, the three-star hotel boasts 64 rooms across three different categories. It also has a 50-square-metre conference room with capacity for up to 25 participants. The employees will receive specific substitute benefits provided under German insolvency law for three months, ensuring their wages and salaries are covered.

Provisional insolvency administrator Mr Florian Zistler said, “We are in the process of gaining an initial overview of the financial situation and are holding discussions with important business partners. The focus is on conducting a detailed analysis of the company’s financial position. We will then use the findings as a basis for reviewing the restructuring prospects. Our goal is to stabilise the hotel’s operations and find a sustainable way forward.”

Managing director Mr Sascha Frieß said, “We have already informed our employees. I hope we can find a solution together with the provisional insolvency administrator that will allow our hotel to continue operating.”

The provisional insolvency administrator is being supported in the PLUTA restructuring team by business lawyers Mr Dennis Stroh and Ms Sarah Hoffmann. Mr Florian Zistler has extensive experience in insolvency administration and restructuring processes for hotels. Just at the start of this year, he achieved a follow-up solution for the business operating the four-star Maxx Hotel in Aalen.

Taste Hotel Lampertheim GmbH has had to file for insolvency due to liquidity problems caused by a number of factors, including declining revenues and high running costs. DMR Legal advised the company during the insolvency filing process. The application for insolvency relates solely to the aforementioned company; other hotels in the Taste Hotel Group are not affected.
