The story
The name “Lang is her” – roughly “longing for it” – speaks to the feeling of looking forward to something special. Inside the family-run Hotel An der Wasserburg in Wolfsburg, this restaurant aims to turn that anticipation into a tangible experience. The team, led by Annabelle Rohde who joined the family business in 2021, focuses on a modern, international cuisine that lets the seasons guide what lands on the plate. The Michelin guide, which recommends the restaurant, praises a kitchen that “combines handpicked ingredients, lets itself be inspired by the seasons, plays with textures and cooking states, and convinces with a subtle interplay of aromas.”
You can choose from a menu of three to seven courses or order à la carte. The cooking is built on a foundation of craftsmanship: pasta, sauces, pralines, and a changing selection of ice creams and sorbets are all made in-house. Ingredients are sourced with care, including wild game from regional supplier Heinrich Höper and wines from select German wineries. The dining room is described as friendly and chic, and when the weather cooperates, the terrace under an old walnut tree becomes a sought‑after spot for an evening meal.
The kitchen’s modern international cuisine changes with the seasons. A wine tasting event planned for spring 2026, for instance, will explore the nuances of Grauburgunder alongside tailored small bites – a glimpse into the restaurant’s approach to pairing casual exploration with serious flavour. Partnering with the adjoining hotel, a “Genuss-Auszeit” package offers an overnight stay with a five‑course dinner, designed for those who want to make the evening last. Whether you are celebrating a special date or simply the arrival of asparagus season, this is a place that understands the pleasure of a well‑made meal.
