Wernsdorf (near Berlin)
POLISH-MOLDOVIAN-GERMAN WORKCAMP The vacation and conference residence Wernsdorf was founded by members of the social club SSB from Berlin. Under the regime of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the complex had been used as a summer residence for the children of police officers. It was renovated by the members of SSB on their own. Thus a very nice place has been created which can be used for recreational and educational purposes during the whole year. The 14 inhabitants, aged between 1 and 65 years, moved out of town in this small village in Brandenburg, to live and work together in the countryside. They operate the vacation and conference residence in a volunteer capacity and use ateliers, studios and meadows to pursue their various creative activities. Their aim is to create and preserve self-managed places to live and work. The place contains a large forest, a lake to swim is there as well.
