Description
Hey Worldfriendly people, open minded people and Backpackers,. I bought an agricultural production cooperative in Saxony-Anhalt in the middle of Germany not far away from Berlin (about 50 minutes by train). It was build in 1908. The house itself was the lodge and school for the trainees of this production. At this particular time there were about 50 trainees living at the same time in this building. It was empty for 30 years. So you can imagine how big it is and how much work there is to do.

A lot of history has happened in this place and i want to make it a great place as it was before. There is a big saloon where nearly all festivities from this region were celebrated and i want to revive it and make a place for the peole of the region where they can celebrate, dance and have fun like it they did before.

I´m 28 years old, my girlfriend is 30 years old an our son will be two years old in August.
I´m a big enthusiast of old buildings and traditional working skills.
I´m a self-taught person in several building skills and woodworking. ( I have many books about it)
If you want I can teach you something about it, because i have a blackoard :D.
I´m half french and half German.
French workawayers would be nice to improve my 2nd motherlanguage and for my son, too.

soooo, i hope for nice people to come over to our place and having a good time together.

I´m so excited!!!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
As Saxony-Anhalt was part of the German Democratic Republik (DDR) ´til the wall was teared down it´s an economically underdeveloped region of Germany. Perhaps we can bring the culture of many different countries into this region. You can learn something aout the history of the DDR and how the people are living there in the present.
You can learn that it´s not necessary to have a degree in crafts to rebuild an old house like this.
