YOUR PROPULSION EXPERTS
Spay in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley has always been our headquarters, our entrepreneurial home. In addition to worldwide locations in the Netherlands, France, USA, Brazil, Singapore, China and the United Arab Emirates, we operate from two other German locations in Dörth and Wismar. Every one of these sites not only covers different areas of the “SCHOTTEL world”, but also offers colleagues and potential candidates a wealth of quality of life beyond the workplace.
According to UNESCO, the Middle Rhine Valley is one of the most beautiful areas in Germany. Spay with its old half-timbered houses, winding paths and beautiful Rhine setting is situated right in the middle of it all. Those who prefer a lively rather than a tranquil lifestyle will find plenty to do and enjoy in the nearby town of Koblenz.
According to UNESCO, the Middle Rhine Valley is one of the most beautiful areas in Germany. Spay with its old half-timbered houses, winding paths and beautiful Rhine setting is situated right in the middle of it all. Those who prefer a lively rather than a tranquil lifestyle will find plenty to do and enjoy in the nearby town of Koblenz: theatre and cabaret shows, Rhine in Flames firework displays and the ‘Gauklerfest’ (entertainment festival), not to mention mountain biking in the city forest and fantastic hiking tours in the surrounding area. And that is not all. There is also a wide variety of restaurants and bars, offering the perfect place to end the working day or welcome in the weekend.
It may well be that some people haven’t yet heard of the village of Dörth (part of Emmelshausen local authority) with its population of just under 600 people. The historic village with its listed parish church and its nationally renowned cultural centre is conveniently situated on the A61 motorway between the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Like Spay, Dörth also offers excellent recreational and leisure facilities for visitors and neighbours from larger urban areas. Koblenz can be easily reached in around 20 minutes, while Mainz, Bonn and Cologne are just under an hour’s drive away.
In this legendary Hanseatic city, you can still follow in the footsteps of seafarers, merchants, fishermen and coopers in the old town and the historic harbour. There is always something going on in the sixth largest city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Theatre shows, concerts, exhibitions, harbour and city tours – and a little way away from the old city walls, the Wismar Bay entices visitors with bicycle tours, walks or a visit to the Hansa Park.
