The story
Fachwerk is the restaurant of Hotel Stadt Kassel at Klosterstraße 42 in Rinteln, where seasonal European cooking is served in a historic half-timbered and masonry setting. The Michelin Guide lists it as Recommended for 2026.
Chef Daniel Klein cooks fine-dining menus built around scallops, turbot and venison. The same kitchen also sends out schnitzel and burgers. Der Feinschmecker, which rated the restaurant 2.5 in 2026, points out that he gives both styles the same attention, and that you can taste it. Stylish lounge furniture and subtle touches of color tie the old walls to the present.
Julia and Moritz-Christian Brand, who run the house, have built one of the better wine collections in the region. It covers close to 140 estates, often with ten or more vintages of a single wine. Some guests come only to drink.
