Description
Hey! We are a familiy starting a community project in the countryside. It is a former farm and former village pension where we want to create a 'Hofprojekt'. We want to renovate the old pension and historical eventlocation so that we can open it again to the public. We want to create a meeting point between rural and urban, elderly and young, new neighbours and old neighbours. We are aiming pro-diversity.
Our place is just 1 hour from Berlin.
You don t need to have a car/driver license at our place but it's useful to know how to ride a bike.
Hey! Wir sind eine hauptsächlich deutsch-sprachige Familie, welche seit ein paar Monaten ein Gemeinschafts-Wohnprojekt in Brandenburg gestartet hat. Der Ort ist eine ehemalige Gaststätte und geschichtsträchtige Veranstaltungs-Location und soll zukünftig eine Art Begegnungsstätte werden, welche wieder der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich ist. Wir möchten jung und alt, städtisch und ländlich, neu Hinzugezogenen und Alt-Eingesessenen einen Begegnungsraum bieten. Wir streben Diversitätsförderung an.
Der Ort ist nur eine Stunde von Berlin entfernt. Ein Auto/ Führer*innenschein wird nicht benötigt, es ist jedoch sinnvoll Fahrradfahren zu können.

Hence the project is rather in it's early stages, it is not quite yet an established community, so at the time of being, I'd say it was more of a cozy little family stay. But what was short in quantity, got compensated by the quality of our small group we had 🙂
We indeed stayed… read more
