Description
Hi I am Matthias, and I found a beautiful house in Eiershagen. Which we want to transform into a nice community & retreat Space. Our goal is to create a unique space for creative encounters, workshops, and cultural events by renovating a charming old house, including transforming the attic into an inspiring area for art and community.
What drives us is the vision of making art and culture accessible in rural areas and providing a platform for creatives. The place is meant to become a vibrant place where people come together, learn from each other, and grow collectively.
Our team consists of a small, passionate group of people who are enthusiastic about art, culture, and sustainable community projects. We love being surrounded by nature, working creatively, and bringing new ideas to life.
Why you’ll love being here
Eiershagen is situated in a picturesque rural area, surrounded by forests, hills, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding and finding inspiration. In addition to working on our project, you’ll have the chance to enjoy nature, experience local traditions, and become part of a creative community.
We not only offer you the opportunity to contribute to a meaningful project but also a warm and welcoming environment where you’ll feel at home. Whether you’re skilled in crafts, enjoy gardening, or want to share creative ideas – you’re in the right place with us!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Time off and local area:
During your free time, there’s plenty to explore in the beautiful rural surroundings of Eiershagen. You can take peaceful walks in the nearby forests, enjoy the scenic hills, or visit charming small towns in the area. If you’re interested in history or culture, there are local landmarks and traditional events that might catch your attention. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, cycling and hiking trails are easily accessible.
Transport options:
Eiershagen is a rural area, so public transport options are limited. However, we’re happy to help you organize transport for local trips or to nearby towns. If you’re traveling with your own vehicle, you’ll have more flexibility to explore the region.
Our lifestyle and house rules:
We value a collaborative and respectful environment. We live a simple, creative lifestyle that’s closely connected to nature and the community. Here are a few house rules to keep in mind:
Please keep shared spaces tidy and respect others' privacy.
We aim to live sustainably, so we encourage recycling and minimizing waste.
Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas.
Pets are welcome, but please let us know in advance if you plan to bring one.
We want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and are always open to feedback or suggestions. If you have any specific needs or preferences, feel free to share them with us before your arrival.
