Solution Secured for Bavarian Forest Location of Education Provider erlebnistage

PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH acted as general agents for debtor erlebnistage gGmbH in the debtor-in-possession proceedings; Dannhorn und Paeschke GmbH advised the buyer Erlebnistage Bayerischer Wald e.V.; and Schultze & Braun served as insolvency monitor representing the creditors. The PLUTA team found a continuation solution for the Bavarian Forest location of erlebnistage gGmbH, ensuring that all three of the provider’s sites — the Bavarian Forest, the Harz Mountains and Lake Schwerin — will be maintained. The newly established association Erlebnistage Bayerischer Wald e.V. acquired the Bavarian Forest operations, including the Wolfsteiner Hütte lodge, and retained all approximately 20 employees with retroactive effect from 1 October 2025. The related purchase agreement was signed in late October 2025. Constructive discussions concerning the company’s Haus Wiesengrund and Haus Forellenhof properties are currently underway. Katharina Heimrath and Tony Jäger, who had been managing the Bavarian Forest site, will continue to lead the operation and serve on the association’s board alongside Alex Ferstl and Professor Dr Werner Michl. The provider specialises in outdoor education experiences delivered through class and group excursions that promote sustainable education and personal development. Heimrath and Jäger reported positive feedback in recent months and expressed optimism about growth and bookings in 2026.
