Papenwohld is an old farmhouse in northern Germany and our place of life and work. We rent out the side house to vacationers, bands, startups, seminars, and workshops. The farm is located on the edge of the Hüttener-Berge Nature Park and offers plenty of space for idyllic relaxation in the middle of nature, surrounded only by forests and meadows. There are several lakes in the area, and the Baltic Sea beach in Eckernförde is only 10 kilometers away. With relatively little car traffic, it is very quiet and invites you to swim in nature. We are located about an hour north of Hamburg, about 10 minutes from the A7 motorway.

The farm was built in 1864 and was operated until the mid-1970s when the main house and the cowshed were almost completely destroyed by a lightning strike. Only the side house survived the fire. It was rebuilt, but shortly after, the agricultural operation had to be abandoned. In 2006, the Bielfeldt family from Klein Wittensee acquired the farm as a retirement home for Ute and Volker.

The side house originally served as the "retirement portion" of the farm. It was built with the farm in 1864 and not only served as living space for the older generation but also had room for a horse-drawn carriage, horses, a few pigs and cows, and probably more.

Over the years, we have invited friends, musicians, and creatives of all kinds to Papenwohld. It has been a place where we have not only recharged our energy but also worked a lot. We have recorded albums, filmed videos, held concerts, celebrated weddings, planted trees, and renovated, restored, and beautified buildings.
