After working in the Swabian Alb and M\u00fcnster, she started working at the Studierendenwerk six months before the opening. &#8220;The building at Bismarckallee 5 used to house student accommodation,&#8221; she recalls. &#8220;When I arrived, the building was still being renovated and I asked myself: Where is the guest house? Everything was still a huge building site! The seminar center was already up and running, but it was still very small and on the side.&#8221;    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c5b986 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"3c5b986\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

Together with two colleagues, Ulrike Hammen initially took on tasks relating to room management, reservations and looking after the breakfast room. &#8220;It was only half the size it is today,&#8221; she explains, &#8220;We only had 18 seats. Sometimes a lot more people came, so we had to ask guests to wait.&#8221;<br>Demand grew quickly &#8211; as did the number of regular guests. &#8220;For example, footballers from Preu\u00dfen M\u00fcnster often came to us, who appreciated the beautiful and central location. But we&#8217;ve also had Cem \u00d6zdemir as a guest. That&#8217;s always exciting, of course.&#8221; As the number of guests grew, so did the team. The processes became more professional and adapted to normal hotel operations. &#8220;We hired our own cleaning staff and each of us was given a fixed area of responsibility. For example, I was responsible for the breakfast room before I went on parental leave for 1.5 years in 2012.&#8221;       <\/p><p class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"28.8px\"><strong>Expansion of the offer: the SeeZeit<\/strong><\/p><p>Due to the successful operation of the agora and in particular the increasing demand in the conference sector, a residential complex at Bismarckallee 47 in need of renovation was converted into a second hotel in 2008. In addition to new living space for students, the SeeZeit Hotel was created &#8211; also with a direct view of the Aasee. SeeZeit also quickly established itself on the market and has enjoyed very good occupancy rates ever since. The clientele of both hotels is mixed. At the weekends, vacation guests tend to come to explore M\u00fcnster and the surrounding area, while during the week it is mostly business people and conference guests who stay in the rooms. &#8220;The view of the Aasee here is unbeatable. People feel like they&#8217;re on vacation here!&#8221; emphasizes Ulrike Hammen.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cbbf41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0cbbf41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stw-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Maisonette-agora-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23098\" alt=\"Rooms at Hotel agora am Aasse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stw-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Maisonette-agora-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stw-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Maisonette-agora-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stw-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Maisonette-agora-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stw-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Maisonette-agora-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stw-muenster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Maisonette-agora.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The agora hotel was extensively renovated during the pandemic.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ada84b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ada84b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"28.8px\"><strong>Challenges and opportunities in the pandemic<\/strong><\/p><p>The hotel and seminar center ran smoothly until 2020. However, with the first coronavirus lockdown, the operation of both facilities had to be temporarily restricted. Only business people with proof of vaccination were allowed to stay overnight. &#8220;It was a shock for all of us at first,&#8221; recalls the hotel employee. &#8220;Nobody really knew what was happening.&#8221; Almost all employees were then given partial or full leave of absence over a longer period of time. For a while, only the hotel management and two trainees were still on site. &#8220;I was very grateful that I still got my full salary. But of course I missed my work &#8211; it felt like the lockdown would never end,&#8221; says Ulrike Hammen.       <\/p><p>The pandemic-related closure period was used to extensively renovate Hotel agora and bring it up to the latest technical standards.

Together with two colleagues, Ulrike Hammen initially took on tasks relating to room management, reservations and looking after the breakfast room. &#8220;It was only half the size it is today,&#8221; she explains, &#8220;We only had 18 seats. Sometimes a lot more people came, so we had to ask guests to wait.&#8221;Demand grew quickly &#8211; as did the number of regular guests. &#8220;For example, footballers from Preu\\u00dfen M\\u00fcnster often came to us, who appreciated the beautiful and central location. But we&#8217;ve also had Cem \\u00d6zdemir as a guest. That&#8217;s always exciting, of course.&#8221; As the number of guests grew, so did the team. The processes became more professional and adapted to normal hotel operations. &#8220;We hired our own cleaning staff and each of us was given a fixed area of responsibility. For example, I was responsible for the breakfast room before I went on parental leave for 1.5 years in 2012.&#8221;       Expansion of the offer: the SeeZeitDue to the successful operation of the agora and in particular the increasing demand in the conference sector, a residential complex at Bismarckallee 47 in need of renovation was converted into a second hotel in 2008. In addition to new living space for students, the SeeZeit Hotel was created &#8211; also with a direct view of the Aasee. SeeZeit also quickly established itself on the market and has enjoyed very good occupancy rates ever since. The clientele of both hotels is mixed. At the weekends, vacation guests tend to come to explore M\\u00fcnster and the surrounding area, while during the week it is mostly business people and conference guests who stay in the rooms. &#8220;The view of the Aasee here is unbeatable. People feel like they&#8217;re on vacation here!&#8221; emphasizes Ulrike Hammen.     \\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\tThe agora hotel was extensively renovated during the pandemic.\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\tChallenges and opportunities in the pandemicThe hotel and seminar center ran smoothly until 2020. However, with the first coronavirus lockdown, the operation of both facilities had to be temporarily restricted. Only business people with proof of vaccination were allowed to stay overnight. &#8220;It was a shock for all of us at first,&#8221; recalls the hotel employee. &#8220;Nobody really knew what was happening.&#8221; Almost all employees were then given partial or full leave of absence over a longer period of time. For a while, only the hotel management and two trainees were still on site. &#8220;I was very grateful that I still got my full salary. But of course I missed my work &#8211; it felt like the lockdown would never end,&#8221; says Ulrike Hammen.       The pandemic-related closure period was used to extensively renovate Hotel agora and bring it up to the latest technical standards. The air conditioning systems urgently needed for the hot summers were also installed as part of this. &#8220;The worn-out rooms didn&#8217;t suit the beautiful location either,&#8221; says Hammen with a smile. New modern furniture and carpets now ensure a contemporary and inviting ambience. Important steps have also been taken in the area of digitalization: &#8220;Everything that goes digital, goes digital. And if it all works, that&#8217;s great, of course.
