The story
Nassauer Stuben in Gießen is the main restaurant of Gleiberg Castle, at Burgstr. 90 in Wettenberg, where the Mediterranean kitchen holds 2 Kochlöffel in the Schlemmer Atlas 2026.
Axel Horn is named as the chef behind the castle's restaurants, and he holds Maître Rotisseurs and Euro-Toques credentials. The cooking is run by a family team that pays close attention to ingredients. They choose fish and meat for quality and draw on regional variety. The menus combine familiar dishes with more inventive creations, so the Mediterranean cooking stays varied from visit to visit.
The Nassauer Stuben seats 60 guests. It sits inside the historic walls, and the trophy notes a cozy rustic atmosphere with impressive panoramic views over the surrounding landscape. Few castle dining rooms offer that combination of old stone and open outlook.
