Dejado por el anfitrión (Help with restoration ...) para el workawayer (Kai En)

Hallo Kai, Vielen Dank für das stückchen Lebenszeit, welches Du uns gependet hast. Es war mir eine Freude einen so aufgeschlossenen Menschen in die Welt der Mühle eintauchen zu lassen. Gerne denke ich an die erste Kommunikation mit den interessanten neuen Worten in meiner Sprache ;-) zurück. Ich war erstaunt, wie gut wir uns nach ein paar Tagen… read more

It was a superb cultural exchange and life experience. I can recommend it to those who can speak at least some German and would like to immerse into German village life. I learnt different things from people from the Gemeinschaft. It is a very lovely community where people are helping out each other and contributing to the overall improvement the… read more Gemeinschaft with their speciality. Here is the snapshot of the community lifestyle.
Susi has lots of experience in plants, nature, life and cooking. Her creative and comforting food comes from her philosophy of 'doing things with love'. I cannot agree more. It is also the concept of mindfulness of everything we are doing. I was lucky enough to try some homemade style Bio German food, and peeked into how many different styles of cooking potatoes can be.
Susi also showed me some usage of plants in the garden, and guided a young couple to setup a nice self sufficient garden. I would recommend visiting this garden. You can find virtuous cycle within plant interaction. There were band designed for attraction of pests so leaving the plants surrounded free from pests, and also unfavorable scented herbs like African blue basil for distraction of bugs. Stones layed on the ground for providing shadow for lizards, and etc.
Baker Martin opens the wood oven bakery twice a week, with quite heavy preparation work before openning. He was super generous and patient to explain his routine to me. He needs to prepare different yeast for bread the day before opening. At night, he need to pre-heat the oven and prepare some dough for natural fermentation process. With this natural ingredients, bread can be preserved for very long time. Each type of bread need special 'treatment' so different chemical process happended that lead to the final structure and taste. He tries different experimental bread once a while and see what surprise will bring him. You will never know what surprises will be if you don't try any changes.
Cafe owner Achim is a very good chatter and kept close relationship with customers from surrounding areas. The cafe only opens on weekends but serves as a community binding glue for people around. Food from the cafe is very delicious and they have different specialties in different weekends and offer nice traditional food. The cafe is outdoor so it will be closed for the Winter.
Multitalented Michael is a super nice, caring, calm and knowledgable host. He concerned about workawayer's need and thoughts, and arranged tasks suited for their needs. Whenever someone found an issue and look for him, he can always maintains calm and smily face. Every problem can find a solution. When we see a problem, we look for the basics, and then evidence. Once we know the mechanism well, then we can prepare for solution 1, 2 and 3. Therefore, no worries. I am very grateful that I can work with him and learn from him. He is capable in doing many hands-on tasks and at the same time knowing well the theories behind. He has critical thoughts on many issues. One can learn to think deeply in an unexpected angle. He has different style of using herbal medicine than Susi. He uses ingredients that is certained of its functionality, while Susi can very well combine the local herbs into food preparation.
This place itself is a great model of self-sufficient energy use. Eletricity comes from solar panels and watermill. Various amount of eletricity is generated depending on the water flow and can be managed manually. When excessive energy generated, eletricity goes into a seperated line for heating, otherwise it is off. It is interesting to observe the changing brightness of the light with various eletricity input. Wood chips from workstation can go into the soil to increase soil fertility.
The whole island is decorated with love and art. You can always find interesting spots in the corner. During the year, you can harvest different fruits and herbs. Canoeing route can be adjusted according to season. Workawayers are welcomed to contribute their ideas in designing the island! There are many other possibilities here depending on your own discovery :)
