Project:
A few years ago the association „Integration Schollenhof“ started to rebuild a very old and empty farm, the “Schollenhof”, in order to make it useful for the children of an integrative Montessori- school. The emotional history of this deserted homestead goes way back to the Middle Ages. The first documented record of it was made in 1319.
Lots of its rooms are still in the old-fashioned style of the old farm houses of the region. For this reason it was used as a historic set for a television series about the 20s. Today the “Schollenhof“is a meeting place for handicapped and non-handicapped people. Later it will become a place for them to live.
Location:
Wagshurst is located in the Upper-Rhine lowlands between the Black Forest (“Schwarzwald”) and the bordering territory with France. From the yard one can see the forest starting right behind it and the panorama of the Schwarzwald. The area is very famous for its beautiful scenery and cherry tree flowers in the spring.
Work:
A garden, a pottery with a furnace, stables for horses, goats, sheep and geese as well as a bread bakery have already been created. However there is still much to do. You could build a stable fence for the horse, renew a wall in traditional loam, maintain and harvest the garden and do numerous other renovation works.
Study / Leisure:
In your free time you can ride a bike to the nearby lake. There will be visits organised to picturesque places in the Black Forest and to the French city Strasbourg. Furthermore, you will learn a lot about integrative Montessori-pedagogy practices.
Accommodation:
The accommodation will be very simple, in two rooms with mattresses. You may sleep in the hay, if you want to.
Note: Please bring a sleeping bag, work clothes and a warm sweater.
