Maritim Hotelgesellschaft mbh Maritim Hotels A story of success Bad Salzuflen / Germany, 2018 Inspired by the invigorating breezes, sandy beaches and brilliant sunshine, it did not take long for its founder to come up with the perfect name for the first hotel opened at Timmendorfer Strand beside the Baltic Sea: Maritim.
