  • Description

    Description

    We are a residential, living and working community (currently 5 adults, 3 children), in which a non-violent, healthy, mindful, sustainable life becomes a reality. Here we can connect, show and accept us and grow together.

    War, climate change, inequality, discrimination. These are all challenges of our time.We see community living as a possible solution to all these crises. As a way to a good life for everyone. It is our attempt to realize this solution.

    Wir sind eine Wohn-, Lebens- und Arbeitsgemeinschaft (aktuell 5 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder), in der ein gewaltfreies, gesundes, achtsames, nachhaltiges, enkeltaugliches Leben Wirklichkeit wird. Wir können uns hier verbinden und zeigen, annehmen und an- und miteinander wachsen.

    Krieg, Klimawandel, Ungleichheit, Diskriminierung, Vereinsamung finden wir alles doof. Das alles sind Herausforderungen unserer Zeit.
    Wir sehen gemeinschaftliches Leben als mögliche Lösung für all diese Krisen. Als Weg in ein gutes Leben für alle. ist unser Versuch, diese Lösung zu verwirklichen.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We cook and eat together here and work on joint projects. You can learn how a half-timbered house is restored, how community life can work and how rural life works here. You can also get a taste of a small dairy farm or the nursery, which supplies us with fresh organic vegetables.

    Wir kochen und essen hier gemeinsam und arbeiten an gemeinsamen Projekten. Du kannst lernen, wie ein Fachwerkhaus restauriert wird, wie gemeinschaftliches Leben funktionieren kann und wie das ländliche Leben hier läuft. Du kannst auch in einen kleinen Milchviehbetrieb mal reinschnuppern oder in der Gärtnerei, die uns mit frischen Bio-Gemüse versorgt.

    Our three-sided courtyard is a listed ensemble of old half-timbered houses, which we are renovating with a lot of work and in the most traditional and sustainable way possible. We would particularly like your help with this.
    The huge garden invites you to relax, play and work.
    The three children (3, 6, 8) are happy to have playmates.
    And there is always a lot to do in the household (cooking, cleaning, tidying up,...)

    Unser Dreiseitenhof ist ein Denkmalgeschütztes Ensemble aus alten Fachwerkhäusern, das wir mit viel Eigenarbeit und auf möglichst traditionelle und nachhaltige Weise sanieren. Dafür wünschen wir uns besonders Mithilfe.
    Der riesige Garten lädt zum entspannen, spielen und "ackern" ein.
    Die drei Kinder (3, 6, 8) freuen sich über Spielgefährt*innen.
    Und auch sonst gibt es im Haushalt immer viel zu tun (kochen, putzen, aufräumen,...)
