Schlosshof Friedingen

From our beautiful courtyard you have a great view of Lake Constance. One of the awaited holiday destinations in Europe and the largest lake in Germany. You can also explore the Hegau volcanic mountains in your free time.


Here with us you can learn a lot about small-scale and diverse farming and you will be deployed in all areas of the farm.


On site, you will be integrated into our everyday life. In addition to the daily changing work, you will eat with us and do sports (if you want to). You will normally work with us every morning from Tuesday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. In the afternoon, you can explore the area, be creative in our workshop, help prepare the events or lazing around.

In the evenings and at weekends, we always have a fantastic atmosphere under our big farm tree, with other workawayers and our friends from the region. There is a lot of dancing!

 Physical work in the garden and vineyard, as well as renovating the house, are part of our daily routine. It doesn't matter how much experience you already have or how much strength you have. You will work with us to build a project that focuses on sustainability and is not about business and making money.

My time at the farm was exciting and full of variety. The place is magical, really connected to nature and the local community. The work was engaging and gave me a better understanding of food production and the environment. Severin is welcoming, organized and with a generous spirit. He made me feel right at home. The atmosphere is relaxed but also fun, with lots of different activities and amazing people. I’m not vegan, but the food was surprisingly delicious and always enough. Definitely an experience I would recommend!

Schlosshof Friedingen is a great opportunity to live your first experience on a farm. I had never lived or worked on one before, and here I was able to learn so many things. Everyone is very patient and has no problem explaining things twice if you don’t understand. The people who are part of the community are also very kind and friendly, and the girls who work there are nice people.
You can use the kitchen to prepare whatever you want, it has everything you’ll need, and if something’s missing, you can just ask for it. You’re about 20–30 min. by bike from Singen, or 10 min by bus

This was my first month in Germany, and it couldn't have been in a better place. The site is beautiful, close to the Alps and Lake Constance (Bodensee). I had the opportunity to learn and work with organic farming, always doing a little bit of everything. I feel like I greatly improved my English and German practicing with the others. Of all of this, the community and integration were the most important; they welcomed me like family and introduced me to the German culture. Finally, the events organized by Severin made this a unique and intense experience, always with new things happening!

Schlosshof Friedingen is a little piece of heaven on earth. Every little ingredients are reunited for an amazing experience at the farm! Severin, the hardworking and multitask host, will make sure you are being looked after properly and that you are not missing anything. There’s plenty of opportunities to learn about different stuff, gardening, wine making, harvesting, painting and COOKING which was my favorite part of course !
Made friends for life, the list of people I will miss is long, 100% RECOMMEND EYES CLOSED :))))

My first Worldpackers and I picked the perfect place. Severin is a hardworking, generous, and fun host. If you need anything, just ask! The work is enjoyable and insightful. I loved harvesting and spending time in the vineyards. Afternoons are free to explore or relax. I spent my time drawing, reading, painting, dancing, and gossiping. Severin stocks the kitchen with everything you need. It’s a great environment to practice German with compassionate and patient people. Leonie, Johanna, Madi, Clara, Max, and Hannes are such lovely people too. If I could lose my job and stay longer, I would :)
