Arbeit

During the off-season, a variety of maintenance and improvement tasks are carried out across the site. These include dismantling stage sets, sorting and repairing props, clearing and organizing storage areas and the prop garage, and preparing the audience hall for winter. Additional work involves painting and general site maintenance, such as pruning trees and raking leaves.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated directly on the project side: Next to the stage, there is huge building for administration, a workshop, a café… Here you will have one big room for yourselves with matresses on the floor, showers in the same building, and a kitchen. The washing options are available but limited. Mind that there is only one big room for sleeping available to all volunteers – no separation possible! Regarding food, you will be asked to cook for yourselves, and carry out all related activities (grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning after yourselves).

Lage und Freizeit

Heidenheim an der Brenz is a town with a bit less than 50.000 inhabitants in the southern region of Baden-Württemberg. The area is rather rural with a beautiful countryside: since it is at the end of the Swabian Albs – a mountain range of about 220km-, there are many hills and forests. Also in the town you will find the Hellenstein Castle, first built on the 12th century, and wildlife park with around 100 animals, very close to your project. If you would like to visit a larger town, you may go to Ulm which is only 30km away. Stuttgart and Munich are just about 2 hours by train.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Your host will the Open-Air Theatre Heidenheim, the 2nd largest one of its kind in Southern
Germany. It is situated on the “castle hill” of the town of Heidenheim an der Brenz, surrounded by forests, and can accommodate up to 1100 spectators. The Open-Air Theatre is run by a non-profit association and they are very excited about hosting again a group of international volunteers. This project is perfect for everyone who is interested in theatres and wants to have a look behind the scenes! Have a look at the Theatre here: www.naturtheater.de

The association was first founded by Gustav Müller over 100 years ago, after the first World War, in his quest of dedicating his life to something that would unite people: art. In 1919 not only did Müller materialize this idea, but also managed to host several productions at the concert hall.

Arbeit

This camp is next to a big meadow orchard where most of the work tasks are to be done. Here, you help to improve the health and lifespan of old fruit trees and thereby contribute to protecting a biodiverse habitat for small animals and birds. Under supervision you relieve the trees from heavy or rotten branches and collect as many apples, pears, and other fruit as you can for the local market and the fruit wine factory. Additional tasks await you in the forest where you will discover fall forestry duties with a ranger, and in the arboretum on the site — a beautiful botanical collection composed exclusively of trees and shrubs of a variety of species.

This project is for adventurers and those who enjoy spending time outdoors, especially during fall. If you're interested in sustaining biodiversity, have a heart for trees, and like to go camping – this project is for you! You will be outdoors almost all day, have camp fires, improvised cooking, hikes, and other special occasions in this rural area.

Please be prepared of the weather conditions:
October can be warm and sunny but also quite fresh and rainy. You will very likely need warm clothes, extra socks, and weatherproof shoes & jacket.

Average weather in October here is: ca. 13 °C during the day, 3 °C during the night; rain is very likely, 3–7 sun hours per day.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You sleep on a youth campsite next to the orchard. Please bring a warm sleeping bag! In the farmhouse on the premises you’ll find showers, toilets, and an extra heated room should you want to dry your clothes. Outside is a large ‘bad weather shack’ that serves as lounge, kitchen or alternative sleeping place. Campfire spots are also available. The entire group does grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning together. Food will be bought with the camp budget. To minimize our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more environmentally friendly meals.

Lage und Freizeit

You are just 10km west of the beautiful old town of Schwäbisch Hall with a few farmers as your neighbors. The landscape in this area is very beautiful, it is dominated by forests and green hills — a perfect place for easy hiking. A swimming lake (if it's still warm enough) can be reached by foot. Trips to the nearby brewery or the old town of Schwäbisch Hall with its museums, shops, and some traditional German historical buildings is also worth the time.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This Workcamp is a cooperation between IBG and the Nature Park Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald, including the local forestry administration.

Arbeit

Preserve black forest pastures! In this very special project, you will find yourself on mountain pastures, where you will be responsible for preserving the unique biodiversity and species diversity as well as the traditional practice of cooperative summer cattle grazing.

You will maintain paths and pasture fences on site. As a measure against scrub encroachment on the pastures, you will remove small conifers with hand saws. To preserve the special biodiversity, you will combat and remove some invasive species – especially lupins and broom. You will work together with local farmers active in the association taking care for the mountain pastures. Nature conservation experts will introduce you to the background and objectives of nature conservation tasks. Please be prepared for mountain life and bring god hiking shoes and weatherproof clothing.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Surrounded by Mount Belchen (1414m), wild pastures, mountain forest, and the beautiful Nonnenmattweiher water protection area, you will stay in a self-catering cabin belonging to the ski club. It has two floors, a front patio with a bench and a view, and a small backyard where firewood is stored and chopped. Downstairs, there's a foyer with a wood-burning stove, a large dormitory with six bunk beds and a small stove, a shower with a two-person washroom, a toilet with a sink, a storage room, and a fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs, there's a toilet with a sink, a urinal with a sink, a large dining room with a wood-burning stove, four bedrooms, each with a bunk bed, and access to the backyard. The bedrooms have mattresses and sheets, but you'll need to bring a warm sleeping bag or a blanket and pillow!

The nearest grocery store is a 20-minute drive away. As a group, you'll cook, eat, clean, and plan together. Food will be purchased with the camp budget. In the neighborhood, you'll find self-service refrigerators where you can buy local cheese, sausage, jam, eggs, and honey. For most local sales and events, you'll need cash!

Lage und Freizeit

You're close to the mountain village of Neuenweg on the southern slope of Mount Belchen (1414m). You can go hiking or visit the cows right from the house.

The locals are all incredibly excited to welcome you and will invite you to Oktoberfest on your first day. Towards the end of your stay, they'll also invite you to an extra day with the cattle for the seasonal "cattle drive," when the herd moves from the pastures back to the barn.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The area on the southern slope of the Belchen (1,414 m) is characterised by its unique subalpine flora and fauna and is a 1,600-hectare nature reserve. For the first time, IBG is active here at this peak of the Black Forest, working together with the regional nature conservation authority and the local association of mountain farmers. You will maintain and preserve the mountain pastures and their special alpine biodiversity. At the same time, shared summer cattle grazing is also a special cultural asset and represents sustainable agriculture in a unique form.
