In the north of Germany, nearby the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte and not so far away from the Eastsea in a small village with a little lake for swimming, which is very nice especially in summertime, are living around fourty families.
Here is our house. In the garden there are 8 sheeps, 9 chicken, 3 running ducks and a lot of goldfish. We arrived in 2014. Since this time we renovate the original cowshed, mostly ecological.

We live in the area of the former GDR, therefore you will maybe find an different lifstyle to FRG. Here are living some families with their own history of refugees after second worldwar, coming back from Poland, Romania.
After the turn from GDR to FRG some families from germany west have settled down in this village, mostly looking for living in nature and more naturell life - and silence. Here are living local people together with people from Berlin, Hamburg, Dortmund, Dresden, Netherland and Austria, like a social patchwork.
Last Year we got the new experience of workaway–host – it was a very
good summer with many helpful hands and very kindly people – read for
more the feedbacks !
So we like to go on to have a good summer - we like to have helping
hands for renovation the house and work in the garden again !
In our last year we’ve built a new entrance, now we’ll make the new
floor (stone and wood) and entrancestairs. Kitchen and pantry will get
new ceiling, the walls get clay, the electrical installation will be
adapted, a new door and window will be assambled. The cellar need a
window and the walls needs renovation by lime. Upstairs the northside

wooden plates, straw insulation, wind film and window.
Our terrain need more fences, built with hedges, graze, wood and stone,
a new duckshed and some help to develop permaculture in the fruit and

This is our second looking for volunteers. The house and garden are nonsmoker areas, we have infront of the house, under a tree a smoker bench. We love our place and we like to make it much more better for a good living here, as part of the world. The manifestation, witch everybody can see, is our highest value for the experience how to love and live together. If you have the same idea of life and want support, than come as soon as possible.
