Project: Since summer 2004 the workshop "Homeland-History-Lamerden" owns a historical peasant house of the 17th century. The house should be rearranged, in order to become an information and meeting place.
Work: You'll help in renovating the interior. The wall papers must be displaced and the walls should be plastered with loam. The old wooden beams will be freed and the boarding renewed. There might be physically hard work. Furthermore, your help is required in the outside area: You will clean the cross beams and then paint them with linseed oil colour. Additionally you will erect new walls and plaster them. You can find more information on www.haus-reining.de.
Accommodation: In a municipality house of the village.
Catering is done by the group.
Location: Lamerden is a little village in Hesse, close to Kassel and Gottingen. Near by the River Diemel, which is excellent for bathing, relaxing and canoeing. The village is perfect for hiking and to visit castles. There are possibilities for trips to Warburg, Hofgeismar and in the rat-catcher-city of Hameln, to Kassel or Hann. In Lamerden you should love the country life.
