📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The work camp takes place in a historic hanging garden and vaulted cellar. The garden, which is open to the public, is laid out in Renaissance style and is often used for weddings, dance evenings and yoga workshops. It waits for you to be taken care of and equipped with an outdoor cooking facility. Beneath the hanging garden is a vaulted cellar. It consists of 10 rooms and will be used in the future for events such as theatre performances and concerts. Last year, volunteers cleared out some cellar vaults of rubble and found many treasures like antique tools, lanterns and benches. This year, too, you can help to make the rooms accessible so that they can be used for cultural events.
💼 What the programme involves
Removing centuries-old rubble from the historic vaulted cellar, maintenance work in the hanging garden, construction of an outdoor cooking facility, planning of a flea market.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In your own tent or indoors on camp beds (depending on hygiene measures due to Covid), toilet, and outdoor shower.
You will cook together. If the weather is nice, you can eat together outside and enjoy the beautiful view, otherwise, you can stay in the cozy tower room.

ℹ️ Additional information
The work takes place both outside (garden) and inside (vaulted cellar). Outside it can be very warm (30°C), in the vaulted cellar it is always 9°C. So pack work clothes for the garden and vaulted cellar, as well as work gloves. Since weddings are often celebrated in the garden, it would be interesting if you could find out about wedding rituals in your country and present them to the other participants in our cultural evening. Bring your musical instruments for cosy evenings. In your free time, you can go on excursions to Riedlingen, Ulm or the nearby Lake Constance. So feel free to bring your bathing suit.
