  Description

  Dear travellers!
  We are an open minded and relaxed family living in a house with other students. We are in the center of a historical University town close to historical buildings, like the castle on the top of the hill or the church of Saint Elisabeth.
  
  The river, the forest, but also the the medieval center of the city with the shops are in walking distance. We are next to the oldest protestant UNIVERSITY in Germany with 25 thousand students. The atmosphere in the city is very young and lively. There is a lot of CULTURE, but also the opportunity to bike or to walk. It is easy to participate in classes or cultural events or to meet young people. Inhabitants of the city are allowed to be GUEST STUDENTS and thats's why some of our workawayers became students.
  
  SO BASICALLY IT'S ALL ABOUT LEARNING IN THIS CITY, IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD AND IN OUR FAMILY...
  LEARNING ABOUT MANY DIFFERENT TOPICS, ABOUT CULTURE, DIFFERENT WAYS OF LIFE, IDEAS AND ALSO PRACTICAL THINGS LIKE TAKING CARE OF ANIMALS OR THE GARDEN.
  
  We have had people living with us for over 15 years... aupairs, workawayers, visitors and students living in the house from England, Scotland, Wales, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Poland, Germany, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, India, China, South Africa, the US and Canada. We are used to share our space and we love to WELCOME people who are also open minded, CURIOUS, CREATIVE and have POSITIVE energy.
  We went with them to CONCERTS or TALKS, had CONVERSATIONS about so many things, produced ART, did SPORTS, had little TRIPS or just spend some free TIME.
  
  You will share a house with other students next door. You will have your own furnished room there and share the kitchen and the garden... This little STUDENTS' COMMUNITY is very kind and often workawayers spend free time with them...We have had this cooperation for years and everybody was HAPPY with it.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  IN THIS PLACE IT IS AL ABOUT LEARNING AND WORKAWAYERS HAVE GIVEN AMAZING FEEDBACK OF WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED DURING THERE TIME WITH US AND IN MARBURG
  
  Some examples of what workawayers have learnt here: how to make strawberry cream cake, how to express yourself in German, about the different characters of sheep, how to lead a pony on the lunge, how to organise yourself, about classical music, art and lifestyle, about German students' life, about recycling and many more things.
  
  From October until February and from April until August the University offers plenty of classes and programs -also in English- where you can choose from. You can experience a traditional and vital German university town with lots of young people from all over the world. There are also plenty of language classes in different schools.
