Our Specialties

  • The Mountain Park Wilhelmshöhe has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013.

  • During the training, mainly solid wood from the trees in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is used. It is not uncommon for a tree from the Bergpark to become a bench in this way.

  • As we are filling several training positions at the same time, you will learn in a large group of apprentices and benefit from exchanging ideas with like-minded individuals.
