Seven years ago we moved to a little village in the rural area "Wendland" in the triangle between Berlin, Hamburg, Hannover.
Friends called us brave, coming from the city (Berlin) where we lived more than 15 years, taking over this farm with a baby coming soon, buying two horses right away ...
In the beginning it was a stressfull time, but things settled and free time is increasing more and more.
Sabine just loves horses and so our horses became more and more: We have seven by now. (3 young stallions, 2 riding horses and 2 old ones)
There is still a lot to do around the house, in the garden, and the horses are of course always a great deal of work. For us our life is still like a dream coming true, but sometimes we only see all the work waiting to be done.
Therefore help is still very welcome:
The horses need food and exercise, The studio still needs a finishing touch. Someone who knows about carpeting could be very helpful and someone caring for the kids would make it possible for us to do things that are in the waiting line.
By now we finished quite a bit: We have a new bathroom upstairs, we have a new livingroom and a new kitchen. So our home is cosy and we like to share it with guests.
You could sleep in a nice guest room with your own bathroom. Guests can also use our bycicles and maybe sometimes our car to be a bit independent.

Autres infos...
Enjoy the beautyful and unique area of the "Wendland", get to know the people, do horse-riding, go cycling (river Elbe is close) , play piano ...

Okey, it´s been more than a month since I leave the house in Tobringen and now I think that I´m ready to leave a feedback.
I have to say that the family is very very kind. Ulrich is a really smart person, he always had arguments to support his ideas, also he was very good playing board games, and I ll always remember "If you dont take the game… read more

Magdalena will hopefully visit us again in summer. She stayed about 6 weeks with us and was part of our family almost immediately. Although she said that children generally are ( so far :-) ) not her main priority , she had a good relation with our children very soon. This was very positive and important to us, since it´s a requirement for being… read more

So, some time has already passed since I left Tobringen, the little village where this amazing family lives. I wanted to put everything in perspective before leaving my feedback, but I guess its past time I did it.

So, I stayed with this amazing family for 6 weeks, more or less, from the beginning of November till mid-December, it was my second… read more experience as a workawayer but my first one with a family, and it was much better than I expected (I was until then not used to being around children). From the first moment, I felt welcomed in the family, not only by Sabine and Ulrich but also by all the children (Theo, Friedrich, Malena, and baby Erika) who quickly got used to me being around the house. Also, I got to live with another workawayer from Argentina, Agustin, who came to the house some weeks after I'd arrived.

It is a really special family, and I had a great time with them. They live in this huge house with hens and horses and three beautiful cats and each member of the family has something special to them. Sabine is a patient and kind woman, she was always really nice to me. Since I wanted to improve my German, from the first moment both her and Ulrich spoke to me only in german, and she would listen to any question I had and she would explain to me everything in such a way that I could understand. I wished I had talked more with her, but my language skills impeded that. Then there is Ulrich, a hard-working man with lots of interesting ideas. Even though I don't share his point of view on many issues --redacted text-- I enjoyed listening to his arguments and tried to reply to them as well as I could. Also we could play board games together, sometimes with the children, other times only us, and it was amazing.

As for the children, Theo was quite fun to talk to and he liked practicing English with Agustin and me; Friedrich was hilarious sometimes, but he could also be a little bit exhausting; as for Malena, she is the sweetest girl I've met, completely capable of playing by herself, but also quite enjoyable when we played together; and little Erika is a happy baby, who almost never cries and she leanrt to crawl when I was in the house, so it was difficult not falling for her...

Then there was the 'work', which wasn't really work.. Since I was not required to do much, I occupied myself with keeping the kitchen and the living room clean and tidy and apart from that mostly I had to help around with the children, go for a walk with them or play with them. Only sometimes we (Agustin and I) had to do some specific tasks as cutting branches, moving wood or painting a bookcase. This is good in part because you don't have a schedule to follow, but it can't be a little unpleasant if you are a more structured kind of person.

As for the house, it is huge. Since they bought it some years ago they have been renovating it, and they still are, and it's every day more beautiful. Since they have three bedrooms for guests, they usually have guests there, but since in winter there are not many people around, I got my own enormous room with an equally gigantic private bathroom. There is internet in the house, but more often than not it is off, since they like to minimize their exposure to it, but if you need it for anything you just have to ask to turn it on, and they have no problem with it. Also, if you want to go shopping, you can either go with the family or you can use a bike, but be aware that the nearest shop is 10 km away, and the nearest city with more options is 13 km away! But anyway, the roads are quite nice :)

All in all, it was a great experience and I would definitly do it again if I had to choose. I really hope I can come by some other time to visit.

Thank you, Ulrich and Sabine for everything. You were a home away from home.

We were very happy, having Dorothee among us. The children loved her right away and the whole family was a little bit sad when she left. Dorothee has extensive riding skills. She went on a ride with Robin ceveral times and almost completely took over the care for our horses.
We all hope very much she might visit us again in the Wendland some day!

Carolina with Josefina and Ignacio spent little more than a week with us. Carolina is the kind of helper that you rather have to tell to pause than to tell what to do. She self reliently helped very much in the house and with the kids.
Her children got along very nicely with ours and we were so happy to have her here and get to know her!
