As a trained chef, Dana combines creativity with organizational skills and keeps everything under control even in the midst of the busiest times. At the Heinersreuther Hof, she ensures the well-being of our guests by managing the kitchen and housekeeping.
Team member since: I have been supporting the Heinersreuther Hof since November 2025.
Here’s how I came to join the foundation: I’m originallyfrom Senica, Slovakia, but I moved to Upper Franconia for love. I’ve found a second home here and feel very much at home. I first learned about the Heinersreuther Hof through a job posting, and today I’m happy to be part of this team.
Role at the Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung: I spend most of my time in the kitchen at the Heinersreuther Hof. I cook for our seminar guests and handle household duties. In doing so, I make sure that all processes run smoothly and that our guests feel completely at home from the first day to the last.
That’s what makes working at the foundation so special to me: I work in a place that brings people together. Short lines of communication and a personal atmosphere define our day-to-day work. In the kitchen, I have plenty of freedom to come up with my own ideas and cook creatively. I especially appreciate our very helpful team.
These three words best describe me: organized , helpful, open-minded
My strengths: Even when things get hectic in the kitchen, I keep a cool head. Especially during stressful moments, I work calmly and methodically. My penchant for organization helps me with this: When everything is in its place, things just run smoothly.
My passions: I spend my free time with my family. We love to travel together and discover new places. At home, I find balance in the garden; that’s where I can unwind best.
