The Border Memorial is quite impressive and many visitors come to see it every year. To keep it in good conditions and to improve the access to the memorial, a lot of maintenance works are regularly needed. This is too much for the volunteers of the local association alone, so they are happy to get support from you.

【德國工作營】歷史修復之旅
主要工作
You will help them on maintenance and repair works at the Border Memorial and its surrounding. You will also set up a geocache at the Border Memorial and build a wooden seating area. In the course of the workcamp, there will be several study parts and excursions to learn more about the period of the German division, contemporary Germany and its people (History Lab). The work will be led by a professional instructor, so no previous experience is needed.
食宿安排
You will stay in Hötensleben former town hall. After the town hall moved to another place, the building has been renovated and now includes several holiday apartments. The apartments are quite comfortable and spacious, so that there will be enough room for everyone. There are different sleeping rooms with single beds and camp beds and a good equipped kitchen as well. Please bring a sleeping bag with you.
Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.
閒餘活動
Volunteers should be interested in German contemporary history as you will work at and visit historical places and commemoration sites related to Germany’s history.
You will be given bicycles so that you can be mobile in your free time and, for example, go to the swimming pool. This year, Hötensleben is celebrating its 25th workcamp anniversary, so be prepared for some special activities to celebrate this (party!).
