Arbeit

The volunteers are asked to help on the excavation ground of the fortress with building work, repairing, and painting walls, carrying stones or cleaning. Other tasks can be removing bushes or documenting your work. Furthermore, there are restoration works and embellishments in the village and at the nearby hiking trails in the Thuringian Forest. It is possible that you will be asked to help on another excavation place to do punctured excavations (1m x 1m) and filter the finds. Please be prepared for any work outside.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation:
You will live in a community house in the village, with toilet and shower facilities provided. All bed linen is provided.

Food:
The locals will prepare lunch for you. Breakfast and evening meals will be prepared by the volunteers in a small kitchen. So please bring recipes and special ingredients with you for cooking and to present meals from your country.

Lage und Freizeit

If you are interested in history, you will have the chance to learn a lot about the region and the fortress. You can travel to Weimar, which was the well-known workplace of the poets Goethe and Schiller. You will be able to find out more about history and perhaps visit the former concentration camp Buchenwald. It will also be possible to go to a nearby castle called „Schloss Burg “. Perhaps you will get to see and hear the concert of the world-famous organ „Silbermannorgel“. You could go for a boat trip on the river Saale or just enjoy the natural environment while walking around the area.
Please be aware that you will be staying in a very rural area from where it is quite difficult to get away (for shopping etc.), but there are very nice people in the village who are interested in meeting you.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Weisbach is a very small village in the mountains of Thüringen, not far from Saalfeld. It surrounded by beautiful countryside with mountains, green valleys, forests, and meadows. The village also has a historical fortress, which was built on a hill near the village in the 11th century. The fortress was destroyed during the following century, and it has become overgrown with trees and bushes since then. Systematic excavations began in 1984. Please be prepared to live and work in a very remote area!
