Summer fête 2022
Dear friends and supporters!
Cordial invitation to our summer party this year!
We want to celebrate on Saturday, August 27, 2022, from 3 pm. Of course, there is also coffee & cake again. Later salad and when Peter, our caretaker of the hearts, is lucky again: Fresh smoked fish!
Cakes or salads as souvenirs would be great.
In the late afternoon there will be the presentation of the audio project „Interfere: Stechlin Voices“, by Ili Os, one of the scholarship holders of the Stechlin residency of 2021.
In the evening we want to have a barbecue and party, talk, relax under the stars until late at night. Relaxed and live: Black Sail Sound.

We are looking forward to your visit! Feedback is great to be able to plan better!

PS: Arrival works CO2 reduced great by train and bike

To life – NEVERTHELESS!
We miss you! But optimistic as we are, we assume that we can meet out here again in May.
In 2020 we were allowed to invest more money in the SI than ever before. Until the last hours of December 31st we have exhausted all Corona aid programs for this.
In 2021 we will equip the house with it sustainably.
There are two hand-made bathrooms in the attic, the kitchen is getting a new stove and a new oven (with a cozy corner) and will be much larger. In the basement there is also a brand new factory kitchen with storage. And on top of everything comes a freshly insulated and covered roof! In the forest house, which thanks to LandÜber already has a new roof, a specially built wooden staircase leads to 5 nano apartments …
In short: it becomes more generous, warmer, a touch more comfortable and the CO2 footprint becomes significantly slimmer …
Stay healthy, stick together and see you soon!

SARS-CoV-2-virus and COVID-19
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The SARS-CoV-2-virus and COVID-19 also have to be considered at the SI. For your protection, we have therefore adopted the hygiene recommendations of the Robert Koch Institut and the Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung. We ask you to follow these regulations during your stay.
Because of legal guidelines we can currently only allow a limited number of people to stay at the Stechlin-Institut. Please speak with us directly to find out the latest news on this. Due to Corona related cancellations, we have had to raise the minimum contribution per person per night to 20 Euro.
At the Stechlin-Institut:
Please keep a mutual distance of at least 1.5 metres.
Please air the rooms regularly.
Please wash your hands thoroughly.
Please clean surfaces and objects after each use.
Please use the bathrooms one person at a time.
Please provide us with a list of full names and phone numbers of all participants. We will destroy the list after four weeks.
Many thanks and stay safe!

HorseDungSubbotnik
For the weekend, April 12-14, 2019, you are warmly invited to join our Spring Subbotnik
Due to last year’s drought, local fruit trees have suffered – and still they produced an abundance of harvest. We want to repay their effort with some care.
During this weekend, we will therefore generously shovel manure, enjoy drinking apple juice, and, what is more, there will be many new stories to tell about the place while we are at it, and hopefully also inspiring stories to hear about what you have been pursuing.

Looking forward to everyone craving the countryside air and wanting to help out strengthening the garden.
And: There are still slots available for NGOs activists & artists. Spread the word!
Stechlin-Dialoge 2019: Short term scholarships for non-profit-organizations and artists at the Stechlin-Institut
The Stechlin-Institut activates the social potential of artistic thinking. It enables experiences in which curiosity, art and society get linked, in order to encourage social commitment with unusual perspectives. We offer a place without prejudice, a house full of perspectives, to give space to artists and people with initiative, where they can exchange, reflect, and develop in the serenity of nature. The former Prussian mansion of Neuroofen provides the setting for that. It lies 80km north of Berlin, right in the middle of the forest and near the crystal clear Lake Stechlin. We invite you to spend time here – and can’t wait for great encounters!
When: 2-10 days from April till November 2019
Who: Teams of non-profit organizations and charitable initiatives, social entrepreneurs, people with social commitment; artists and artist groups who deal with the social potential of their work; we can house up to 15 people comfortably; if you are more than that just get in touch, so that we may try coordinating your stay according to your spatial needs. You are welcome to visit both in teams or as individual guests.
Where: At the Stechlin-Institut, north of Berlin in the forests of Brandenburg near Lake Stechlin; reached easily with public transportation; not yet barrier-free. How: Just get in touch at info@stechlin-institut.org or 033 082 40 29 73.
What: The Stechlin-Institut offers the possibility for a focussed work stay, either individually or with your team. Specifically, we provide you with a place, so that you reach a self-imposed goal. A place for encounters, ideal for dealing with your own questions, recharging your batteries, getting inspired together, hopping into crystal clear lakes, and spending whole nights gazing at the stars. The spacious house is equipped with a kitchen, bathrooms, beds, wifi, and all kinds of things you may need. There are herbs in the fields, a bakery truck in the village, in the neighboring village there is Frank’s eco farm where you can harvest your veggies yourselves, in the forest there are berries, herbs, and mushrooms, by the lake a fisherman, and for venison a forester. Additionally to staying here, you will enter an alumni network informing of future support programs and inviting to network meetings.
Our vision: We are convinced of the power of artistic thinking and social commitment. To think outside the box and question supposedly unshakeable matters are a necessity and resource for positive social change. Because of that, we invite you to spend this season together in Stechlin.
Costs: Your contribution to the costs, depending on the duration of your stay and your budget, amounts to 12-17 Euro per person and day. (Watch out: Cancelations only according our general terms and conditions.) Bring a friend: If you want to come here together with a partner organization, we think that cherishing your exchange is so important that we will lower your contribution by 2 Euro per person per day.

FAQ
Is there a program? No. We provide you with a place so that you may reach a self-imposed goal while you’re here. Every participant brings their own creative competence with them. We are convinced: everybody is able to use their time well without expectations and requirements, in an unobtrusive and supportive community and sensitive setting. Of course there are so many things to do here: from cooking, swimming, hiking, biking, and sailing to gathering berries, herbs, and mushrooms, and chopping wood. This is the foundation for asking you to shape your own stay. The place allows for retreat and encounter – the community offers motivation and perspective. Are we expected to apply with a collaborative project we want to do with the artist/the initiative who will be there with us? No. On the contrary. There will be no other request than to arrive. We hope that you can use your stay to work on what you are really excited about in your own work. Artists and initiatives live together in the same house, meet each other during the daily chores and meals, follow their self-imposed schedules, maybe exchange knowledge and inspire each other, but how far this encounter goes absolutely depends on the situation and you. If we don’t know for sure yet when we could come, is it ok to write to you later on spontaneously? Yes. Definitely. If there is space when you want to visit, you will be very welcome. May we also come with more than 15 people? Yes. If you are more than that, you can camp in the house or, during the summer, in the fields around the house, but you will have to bring sleeping bags and other equipment yourselves. May we also attend if we are not organized legally? Yes. Absolutely. What counts is your commitment. Is the Stechlin-Institut a luxury hotel? You can see many stars above the Stechlin-Institut. More than anywhere else in Germany. Apart from that, there are three toilets, two showers, many beds and mattresses, and the walls are adorned with naked plaster. You can move your beds freely around the house. Most rooms are spacious and open – this means, there are no single or double rooms. The dining table fits everyone easily, the fireside room overflows with couches, and tiled fireplaces serve to make the house very cozy. Around the house lies a huge field of grass with fruit trees giving shade in the summer. How is the digital connection? There is a broadband wifi connection installed in the house, but mobile reception sucks. Calling works in designated areas outside. Is food supplied as part of the scholarship? No. But there are local producers all around. The Faradgang initiative from Berlin fixed a bunch of bikes for the Institut which you can use to explore the area and go on food hunts. To the Stechlin eco farmers, fishermen, foresters, supermarkets, bakers, or bee-keepers…

Dear Friends and supporters of the Stechlin-Institut we are wishing you a wonderful-exiting and happy 2019!
… and the killer: our LAN is twice as fast.
2018
Light
The ground starts to give, the forest gets louder, and soon everything out here will be green again. Initiatives have been invited, and many indeed want to come. For May already the house is almost booked out. There still are enough free spots in the warm season, though, so gladly pass on the word: We are happy to receive applications from both artists and non-profits for 3-10 day stays.
Our Jour-Fixe was killed by the frost last year. This standstill offered time to beauty operate a bit and to take care of SEBASTIAN, HERWART & XAVIER’s remains (a large oak, a smaller one, and one of the two larches met the knife). For that, Marco and his Wood-Mizer came to visit…
Warm invitation to the Stechlin-Spring-Subbotnik Friday April 13 (noon) to Sunday April 15 (5pm) Winter is over. Time to get some dirt under our fingernails, blow into the ground to sprout, be out in air and light. We are looking forward to a great weekend with you, and – whoever feels like it – also to getting some work done together! House and garden are getting their spring cleaning. We will bring back to life our old neighbor Herr Liebchen’s vegetable garden, chop wood, prune trees, and build a fence. All of this of course includes an orgiastic camp fire! Feel like joining? Just let us know to reserve a place to sleep.
Freed from ice
The Stechlin-Institut was on winterly intermission, also our Jour-Fixe was frozen. Stechlin remained under a Sibirian permafrost. Peter the Great heroically spent months finely grinding the loft. 
And now, the final stretch: Just five weeks until the first initiative arrives… Our local flock of birds is calling out a spring that still plays coy. More soon!
