HOTEL BURG ABENBERG<\/small>Our castle story<\/h2>\n

Ilona and Christian Schneider took over Abenberg Castle in May 2008 and reestablished it with a young and highly motivated team. Christian Schneider grew up on the island of F\u00f6hr in Northern Germany and was drawn to the hospitality business after completing an apprenticeship as a hotel specialist, and thus got a job on the Cunard luxury yachts \u201cSea Goddess I & II\u201d<\/strong> in 1991. It was there he met his Dutch wife, Ilona Schneider. They sailed together on the two yachts for three years. In 1994 they shifted their attention away from sea-based hospitality to working on land: Ilona Schneider worked as a housekeeper in the prestigious \u201cNassauer Hof\u201d hote<\/strong>l in Wiesbaden while Christian Schneider was a F&B controller at K\u00e4fer\u2019s<\/strong>. However, their hearts were still drawn to the sea and so they returned; Ilona as a housekeeper, and Christian as a hotel manager on the \u201cSY Sea Cloud\u201d sailing yacht<\/strong>, then on the five-star river ship \u201cMS Mozart\u201d<\/strong>. Then they once again moved away from and became the tenants of the Golf Club Gastronomy on the island of F\u00f6hr<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

A year later, they moved to Portugal and ran the five-star “Adolfo da Quinta” hotel<\/strong> in the Algarve from 1997-2000. This was followed by a 7-year stay in Como, Italy. In that time Christian Schneider worked for five years as an Operation Manager for the Italian catering company Ligabue<\/strong>, which catered for Peter Deilmann\u2019s cruises<\/strong>. From 2005 – 2007 Christian Schneider returned to the sea and so sailed the world as a hotel manager on the Hapag Lloyd ships, MS Europa, MS Hanseatic,<\/strong> and MS Columbus<\/strong>. A friendship on the MS Europa brought the two of them to Abenberg and fulfilled their long-awaited dream of running their \u2018own\u2019 hotel. <\/p>\n

But Ilona and Christian Schneider are not letting go of the sea, as can be seen from the various expansions to their business.
\nIn addition to arranging cruises<\/strong>, performing interim hotel management<\/strong> tasks on cruise ships and renting out a vacation apartment on the North Sea island of F\u00f6hr<\/strong>, a new vacation villa on the Algarve coast<\/strong> was completed in 2025…<\/p>\n
