The Beginnings
Heinrich Busch – farmer, banquet waiter, bread delivery driver – and his wife Christina fulfilled a long-held dream. With courage and determination, they converted their small farmstead into a guesthouse in 1969 and named it Haus Fliederbusch.
It was a decision that would shape the family for generations to come. A modest farm became a place where people came to eat, to celebrate, to be together. What began with humble means soon became an institution in Borken.
Third Generation
Since 2011, Sandra Busch-Flasche has led the house. Family life and the restaurant were always intertwined. At the age of 14, she was already waiting tables in her parents' restaurant. After training in hotel management, she worked at various hotels across North Rhine-Westphalia, including at Petersberg near Bonn.
She carries forward the style of her parents and grandparents while adding her own modern touches. In recent years, 14 guest rooms in the main building have been modernised, the Christinenflügel was created, and a further 14 rooms in the guest house were thoughtfully refurbished.
Christinenflügel
Christina Busch was the heart of the house. With her generous spirit, her gift for organisation and her natural warmth, she shaped not only her family but every guest who stepped through the door. She created a place where people felt at home – sincerely, without pretence, authentically.
The Christinenflügel rightly bears her name. It is a quiet tribute to a woman who understood what true hospitality means: not grandeur, but heart. Not perfection, but sincerity.
Warm-hearted yet surprising. Refined yet grounded. That has been the Fliederbusch way for more than fifty years.
