Publisher and scope
This website is provided by Plunzshuttermango Heritage GmbH, Linienstraße 142, 10115 Berlin, Germany, HRB 248631 B. Questions may be directed to [email protected]. These terms apply to the website’s informational content and local research-note tool.
Independent information
We discuss scientific heritage, building interpretation and travel research. We are not a travel agent, booking intermediary, geological survey, conservation consultant, safety inspector or accessibility auditor. The site does not sell accommodation or accept reservation payments. Named institutions, archives, standards bodies and properties are not affiliated with us unless expressly stated.
The current guide presents a research method rather than a verified directory of operating institute-conversion hotels. Mentioning a scientific institution does not mean it has become a hotel. Conceptual illustrations do not document actual artifacts or interiors at a named property.
Accuracy and travel decisions
Historical interpretation can change when better evidence becomes available. Building use, ownership, opening status, access arrangements and booking conditions can also change. We aim to distinguish evidence from interpretation but do not guarantee that all material is complete, current or free of error.
Before relying on information for a trip, check the relevant public record and confirm current details directly with the accommodation operator. Obtain professional advice for technical, legal, health, conservation or safety questions. Do not use this site as the sole basis for a reservation, physical investigation or compliance assessment.
Research-note tool
The Contact page prepares plain text in your browser. Previewing, copying or downloading does not send the contents to us. You are responsible for saving the note and choosing whether to send it separately. Browser permissions and device capabilities may limit copying or downloading. Do not put sensitive personal information or confidential third-party material in the tool.
Responsible use and correspondence
Do not misuse the site, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with its operation or submit unlawful material through correspondence. Only share documents you are entitled to share. Sending a research lead does not oblige us to investigate, publish or respond, and does not transfer ownership of your original work. We may consider factual information and public references for editorial verification; any agreed publication of contributed material requires an appropriate permission or legal basis.
Intellectual property
Original site text, design and code are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may read the site and retain reasonable extracts for personal research, subject to statutory rights. Wider republication or commercial reuse may require permission. Third-party names, marks and linked resources remain subject to their owners’ rights. Nothing here restricts lawful quotation or other mandatory exceptions.
External resources
External links are provided for context and further research. We do not control the content, availability or policies of those services. A link is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee of every statement on the destination site.
Liability and mandatory rights
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for intent, gross negligence or injury to life, body or health. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. For ordinary negligence, liability is limited where legally permitted; where an essential contractual obligation applies, liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical of the relevant relationship.
Applicable law and updates
German law applies to the extent permitted, without removing mandatory protections available to consumers under applicable law. These terms do not impose an exclusive court on consumers where that would be unlawful. We may update the terms to reflect changes in the site or legal requirements. The effective date identifies the current published version.
