Gut Eigen

Turning this building into a sustainable project isn't just a romantic project working in nature. It also means a lot of mess. Construction debris has to be disposed of here. A lot of nasty work has to be done. Building materials have to be sorted for proper disposal according to their recyclable materials — copper, metal, wood, stone.
Pallets of building materials that have rotted must be restacked so they can be moved.
The garden is overgrown. Thorny bushes need to be removed. Plastic and other trash are scattered throughout, and this needs to be sorted.
We have a chicken coop, but before chickens can move in again, mites have to be removed. That's disgusting.
We don't work with clay and wood in beautiful natural surroundings. We swallow dust and dirt to rid nature of garbage and pollutants.

We'll help you get these jobs done. We'll tackle it together. We'll show you how to protect yourself when digging in the dirt and how to properly sort trash. But it's not all romantic. It's sometimes hard work.

I had a great time in Eigen for my short stay. Silke and Tom will welcome you in like family and put you in a very comfortable room. Tom has a large workshop with every tool imaginable. Tasks were simple and straightforward – if you need clarification on any task, Tom would help you out. Hiking in the area is really beautiful and quite the adventure if you’re with the dogs. Their neighbors are eager to engage with volunteers as well!

My two months at Gut Eigen were amazing! Tom and Silke are wonderful hosts—kind, organized, and always ready to help. The work was fair and enjoyable, and they created a welcoming, family-like environment. One of my favorite moments was my birthday on October 1, when they surprised me with a small celebration that made me feel truly special. Their dogs also bring so much joy and positive energy to the place. Gut Eigen is peaceful, safe, and full of good vibes. I’m so grateful for everything and highly recommend this experience to other travelers!

My Experience at Gut Eigen 🌿**
My time at Gut Eigen was wonderful! Tom and Silke are amazing hosts—kind, organized, and always ready to help. I learned so much through teamwork, daily tasks, and being part of their lovely community.

One of the most memorable moments was my birthday on October 1st. They, along with their son and some neighbors, surprised me with a small celebration that made me feel like part of their family. It was such a heartwarming experience!

Maurice is an incredibly friendly and helpful person. He is very compassionate and sensitive. He wants to take any heavy bag you are carrying out of your hands. And he is really strong and can carry heavy things, as he has proven here.
But he is not a man of many words. He also likes to be alone. He can fit into a team, but needs help to do so. We would have liked to show him more of Germany. But sometimes it meant more to him to be allowed to be alone. We respected that. We thank him for his h

This was our first experience on Worldpackers and it exceeded our expectations! Tom and Silke went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and more! They even got us some groceries which was unexpected but so kind! The food was amazing and our room was perfect! They are both very willing to accommodate whatever you need/how you want to work so make sure to communicate to them! They also made great efforts to show us around and take us on hikes. The work varied and included cleaning, organizing, and some manual labor. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!!
