The History of the Lindnerhof — since 1796
The Lindnerhof has stood in the middle of Lerbach since 1796. It was built by Adam Andreas Lindner — and the house has remained in the family ever since, for more than 225 years and many generations.
Hauliers for the Harz smelting works
Our ancestors were hauliers: with their horse-drawn wagons they transported wood for the smelting works of the region. Lerbach was shaped by mining in those days — the village lived off what the forest and the mountain provided.
From haulage yard to holiday home
The haulage business of old has become three holiday apartments. With every modernisation we have taken care to preserve the original character of the house: solid Harz timber framing and loving details tell of the past, while the apartments offer modern comfort.
Experiencing the mining past
You can still visit the traces of that era today: the Lerbach iron-ore heritage trail passes the old mine tunnels over roughly five kilometres — entrances such as those of the "Weintraube" and "Juliuszeche" mines have been restored, information boards tell the story, and the Lerbach heritage society offers guided walks. To go underground, head next door: to the Upper Harz Mining Museum in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, ten minutes by car, or the UNESCO World Heritage Rammelsberg mine in Goslar.

And today
Today we welcome guests in a house that tells stories — and that stands right by the forest: the Harzer Hexenstieg passes five minutes away on foot. Become part of this history and experience hospitality that has grown over generations.
