Construction site tour on 01.12.23

,

And just like that, within a week, our beautiful new house is now standing here in Schwabenheimer Hof! The passionate carpenters from Zimmerei Grünspecht eG really impressed us. They were on the building site until late hours to finish our house according to plan (and before the rain forecast for Friday). And they did it!
We can hardly wait to discover our new house – and we invite you to join us: next Friday, December 1st, master carpenter Markus Wolf will give a tour of the construction site at 2 pm. Join us to explore the house, which was designed for a community and built from wood, straw and clay!
Because the building site is keeping us busy at the moment, the Open Living Room in December will not be taking place. If you would like to get to know us, please come to the building site tour on December 1st or to the topping-out ceremony on December 8th (or to both!).

Construction site peeking on 22.11.23

The time has come: in two weeks Zimmerei Grünspecht is coming to Schwabenheim to put our house together. Made entirely from wood, straw and clay! Come and see the construction site from 10am on 22.11.23 – we will be waiting for you in our garden with coffee and cookies. More communal living space for the region!

Feldwinkel visits Zimmerei Grünspecht

,

Some impressions from our trip to Freiburg last weekend. This is where Zimmerei Grünspecht eG is building our new house, from wood, straw and clay. It looks and smells great! The pre-made elements will be transported to Schwabenheimer Hof and the house will be put together on our building plot in the second part of November. When we were in Freiburg we also got a chance to visit a couple of other houses built by our carpenters. Thank you Zimmerei Grünspecht for your hospitality and making our vision of community living real! See you soon in Schwabenheimer Hof!

The earth is shaking!

,

From months of planning, discussions, worries and challenges now suddenly becomes something very real! The earth is shaking. The construction of our new house has officially begun!

By the way: our construction fence is see-through. So whoever wants may easily watch how unsellable common property is created here 😉. We will be posting regular updates from the construction site on our website under “New building” and on our Instagram.

We are part of the Mietshäuser-Syndikat!!!

We are very happy to share the latest news from the Feldwinkel with you: we are part of the Mietshäuser-Syndikat!!!

This weekend we had the opportunity to present our project at the MHS general meeting. It was an exciting time for us with many good discussions, constructive input and networking on all levels. In the end, our main aim, which we have been pursuing steadily since the project’s foundation, was realized: the Feldwinkel was accepted into the big family of the MHS!

Now we are: UNSALEABLE, SOLIDARITY-BASED, SELF-MANAGED. This is the Feldwinkel in the MHS and this is what it will remain. NO PROFITS with the RENT.

A big THANK YOU to our advisors, supporters, to our strong regional network MHS Rhine-Neckar-Delta and to ALL who kept their fingers crossed for us. Also many thanks to the hosts in the beautiful Kooperative Schloß Gersdorf, to all MHS projects that were there and the organizing team. What a fantastic, community-led weekend! We are already looking forward to the MHS meeting in Heidelberg in the fall!
