Description
Hello!

We are a "small" family. Günter (1984), Karin (1979), Gabriel (2006), Laurin (2009) and Julian (2018). And since 2022 Alexander :)). Now our family is complete.
We arrived at our new home with 20.000m², in summer 2012. We lived for 11 years in two woodern caravans.
Since 2016 we live in our selfbuilded framehouse. We build our house mostly by our own and it is mostly build from second hand materials.
THANKS to all the helpers of the last years!!!
We finished the house in 2020 :))

We have ducks, chickens and a cat. We are looking forward to make our garden growing - vegetables and fruits.

Karin is a midwife, doing homebirth and is on call mostly the whole year.
Günter stays at home with our two active and self confident big boys, doing housework, gardening and building and of course he looks after the little son.
Karin and Günter teach their sons at home.

We are interested in people, who have fun talking with us in English and play and talk with our sons. We ware happy if you like cooking.

We are also interested in people who like building the surrounding of our house :) :) :) (e.g. terrace).
In summer we are going to build a “underwater platform“ in our swimming pond.

And there is always something to do in our household. :))
For sure we'll find something to work for nearly everybody :)

If you like to spend some time with us just mail us.
