Lage und Freizeit

Area:
Weisbach is a very small village in the mountains of Thüringen, not far from Saalfeld and surrounded by beautiful countryside with mountains, green valleys, forests and meadows. A fortress was built on a hill near the village in the 11th century but it was destroyed during the following century. 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!

Leisure Time:
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 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 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.

Whole Festival - Queers United
A THREE-DAY ELECTRONIC MUSIC CAMPING FESTIVAL FEATURING A CROSS-SECTION OF BERLIN’S UNDERGROUND QUEER SCENE
We aim to create an inclusive environment that provides space for the acceptance of all gender expressions and sexual orientations but in a relaxing, outdoor environment outside of the hectic confines of the city. A multi-day camping festival where self-expression and self-liberation are paramount.

Considering today’s tumultuous and polarizing political climate, we find it necessary to create a refuge for those that oftentimes find themselves marginalized by the rest of society. WHOLE is an outdoor exercise in community building.
We've invited more international crews hoping to enhance & strengthen our sense of community beyond national borders. All genders are welcome to enjoy and create this unique atmosphere.

We are excited to build a strong, diverse and happy team of volunteers to create an unforgettable communal experience - pulling off a fierce festival is always a group effort. From building up to assisting festival goers during to tearing down after, we have many positions available. Put your expertise & social skills to work. Create community & be a part of our team!

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

You always wanted to know how festivals work? You are very interested in cinema and movies?
During hot and sunny summer days, there was no audience inside of the cinemas and the local cinema of Weiterstadt (KoKi) decided to move outside with one of their movies .The Open Air Filmfest Weiterstadt was born with 58 shown movies in 1977. During the years more films had been shown (up to 200), the festival lasted more and more days (5 days), the audience increased (up to 1500), the open air screen got enlarged (72 sqm), the afternoon presentations got extended in a circus tent, the area was getting bigger. That means a lot of more logistic and man power is needed. Therefore, the help of the workcamp volunteers will be very appreciated.
Here you can read more about the festival: https://www.filmfest-weiterstadt.de/en/
What kind of movies you can expect, you can see on the fb-page, where Links to some movies from 2022s program are posted: https://www.facebook.com/FilmfestWeiterstadt

Arbeit

Work:
The volunteers will work at the memorial site of the former concentration camp
of Buchenwald. It is located upon a hill around 10 km from Weimar, the city
where Goethe and Schiller worked and lived, but also where the Nazi movement
had already in the 1920’s a lot of supporters. Today the site of the Memorial is at
the same time a cemetery, an evidence for the crimes which were committed in
Buchenwald, a place of grief and commemoration for the victims and a place of
historical and political education and information outside the school-system.
The main project for the practical work will be on the “Buchenwald Railway
Memorial Trail” where you will work for the preservation and maintenance of the
former railway path. In addition, you will take part in a remembrance project
when you produce memorial stones that commemorate children and young
people who were deported to the concentration camp of Auschwitz and
murdered there.

Study part:
The program will focus on the National Socialist history (i.e. on the
concentration camp system, the NS ideology and the NS society) and its effects
and consequences until today. The responsible pedagogical assistant of the
Memorial will show you the remains and history of the former camp, step-bystep, through different tours on the site. Moreover, you will visit exhibitions and
watch documentary movies, and those who would like may work with materials
of the library or the archive. If you like we can deal with the memorialization in
Germany and your countries and exchange country-specific perspectives on
historical events, also on those beyond 1945. Open spaces can be organized for
your interests, for example to discuss current social issues like racism or neofascism. In an excursion you will discover the history of the city of Weimar.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation:
You will stay in the International Young People’s Centre, situated on the area of
the former concentration camp. You will have to share the room with 2
volunteers. Sanitary facilities including showers are in the rooms. You do not
need a sleeping bag or bed linen. You can use a washing machine for a small fee.
There is internet access in the accommodation.
More information: https://www.buchenwald.de/en/130/

Food:
Food will be provided. There will be no possibility to cook.

Lage und Freizeit

Leisure time:
The free time activities will be decided by the groups interests and wishes. That
depends of course on the group. And this year it also depends on the specific
situation and limitations due to the Corona virus. Weimar is a student and tourist
city and has many leisure facilities. There are some possibilities to go out in
Weimar, such as going to the theatre, exhibitions or to concerts. The city is
famous for its museums of German cultural history, including those about the
famous poets Goethe and Schiller and about the Bauhaus architecture or the
Weimar Republic. There is the possibility of going for walks in the woods, go
swimming etc. In the Youth Center you can also use the Hi-fi and video
equipment and the volunteers can do handicrafts in the arts room. In the building
we have table tennis and table soccer.

people who were in opposition to Nazi policy, homosexuals, so-called asocials, criminals,
Jews, and during the war especially people from occupied countries were imprisoned, forced
to work and a lot of them were murdered. Between 1945 and 1950 a part of this area was used
as a so-called Special Camp of the Soviet Secret Service

However, the free time activities will mainly depend on participants' ideas.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Sachsenhausen Memorial was one of the largest concentration camps in Germany and was built in 1936 near Berlin. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here by the Nazi SS. The prisoners were forced to perform inhumane labor, and thousands died or were murdered. After the liberation in 1945, the Soviet secret service established Special Camp No.7/No.1 on the site for the internment of former Nazi functionaries and political opponents. Today the memorial is a place of remembrance, learning and research.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The former women's concentration camp Ravensbrück was built in 1939 near the small town of Fürstenberg/Havel. Until its liberation in April 1945, over 120,000 women and children, 20,000 men and 1,000 underage young women from the so-called "Uckermark Youth Protection Camp" were imprisoned there. The prisoners came from more than 40 nations. They had to perform forced labor in various sectors, e.g. for SS factories or the Siemens company. Their daily lives were marked by hunger, mistreatment and poor hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners were killed. Today, the Ravensbrück Memorial preserves traces and records, promotes remembering and research, and creates a place for active learning and encounters. Every year, international work camps are organized in cooperation with the memorial.
