Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
Open Houses is a non-profit network dedicated to the preservation and reactivation of historic buildings and sites as shared cultural spaces. Rather than treating heritage as static or purely commemorative, Open Houses understands historic places as environments shaped through continued use, dialogue, and collective responsibility. The organisation initiates and supports projects that combine hands-on conservation with cultural, educational, and community-oriented activities, enabling sites to remain physically accessible and socially meaningful. The main objective of Open Houses is to reactivate historic sites as living parts of their communities, supported by international volunteers who contribute to their conservation and rehabilitation through practical engagement.
The origins of the organisation date to the mid-1980s, when volunteer groups in East Germany began restoring endangered village churches. These efforts quickly evolved beyond repair work into the reanimation of the buildings as lived spaces for exhibitions, music, discussion, and communal engagement. This approach (linking practical preservation with active participation) remains central to Open Houses today.
European Heritage Volunteers is an international programme network initiated and administered by Open Houses to extend these objectives across Germany and beyond. Conceived as a platform for capacity building in the heritage field, it brings together students, emerging professionals, and skilled craftspeople to participate in hands-on conservation projects, training courses, and educational initiatives at heritage sites. The programme combines practical work, such as traditional building techniques, landscape conservation, documentation, and maintenance, with structured learning components addressing heritage theory, site management, and cultural context. Implemented in cooperation with site owners, conservation authorities, and partner organisations, European Heritage Volunteers functions as a bridge between professional heritage practice and international exchange, fostering the transmission of traditional skills, interdisciplinary learning, and shared responsibility for the safeguarding of cultural heritage.
Description of work:
The heritage conservation project at the Naumburg Cathedral Cemetery will centre on the preservation and documentation of the site's historic burial monuments, complemented by an educational programme that situates the site within the broader context of its connection to the inscribed UNESCO World Heritage property.
The project will concentrate on the south-eastern part of the cemetery, where work will focus on the exposure, documentation, and assessment of historic tombstones, contributing to the broader conservation strategy for the site. The project seeks to improve the overall condition of the cemetery while ensuring that further weathering and damage to the historic grave markers are prevented. The participants will engage in a systematic process of uncovering and documenting burial monuments, recording their dimensions, material composition, and state of preservation. Special attention will be given to the identification of structural weaknesses and the development of recommendations for future restoration and conservation measures. Alongside this technical work, the project will also involve historical research on the individuals buried in the cemetery, enhancing knowledge of the site's broader cultural and social relevance.
Naumburg
Description of location and leisure:
Naumburg Cathedral of St Peter and Paul, located in Saxony-Anhalt, is one of the most distinguished monuments of the High Middle Ages in Europe. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2018, the cathedral is renowned for its synthesis of architecture, sculpture, and stained glass, reflecting the artistic and intellectual currents of the 13th century.
Within this World Heritage context lies the Naumburg Cathedral Cemetery, established in 1542 as the Freiheitischer Gottesacker for members of the Mariengemeinde. Its creation formed part of a broader 16th-century shift in burial practices, when cemeteries were relocated beyond dense urban cores in response to epidemics and demographic growth. Laid out just outside the medieval precinct, the cemetery developed as a structured burial ground shaped by confessional change, social hierarchy, and evolving commemorative traditions.
Over time, the opening of a municipal cemetery in 1901 reduced its central role, and by the mid-20th century the site had fallen into neglect, suffering periods of vandalism and abandonment. Since the 1990s, however, renewed attention has led to its gradual rehabilitation. Under the guardianship of the Vereinigte Domstifter, the cemetery has been accessible to the public again since 2014 and has resumed its funerary function since 2016.
Today, the Cathedral Cemetery provides a setting in which funerary art, social memory, and long-term conservation find each other within the wider setting of Naumburg Cathedral. Its historic grave markers, inscriptions, and spatial organisation provide tangible insight into early modern burial culture and the transformation of commemorative practices over several centuries. Working at this site offers participants the opportunity to engage closely with original materials and historic structures while gaining more profound knowledge of how burial grounds function as sources for architectural, artistic, and social history. The cemetery thus serves as a place of remembrance, as well as an educational setting in which conservation practice, historical research, and ethical reflection converge within a protected World Heritage context.

Description of work:
The hands-on activities will focus on archaeological investigation and the conservation of historic landscape structures associated with Marksburg Castle’s defensive and agricultural setting. Work will begin with a targeted excavation in a former defensive zone containing stratified deposits from the 16th to the 20th century. Participants will assist in the careful excavation, sorting, and documentation of layers in order to identify structural remains and better understand the site’s successive phases of use.
A second focus will be the rehabilitation of a historic dry-stone retaining wall that formerly stabilised vineyard terraces along the castle’s access route. Damaged sections will be dismantled and rebuilt using traditional dry-stone masonry techniques, reusing original stone material wherever possible. The works will address structural instability while preserving historic construction methods and material character.
An important aspect of the course will be the application of archaeological and dry-stone methodologies within an authentic castle environment, combining investigation with practical conservation. The educational programme will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how archaeological research, traditional building techniques, and cultural landscape conservation interact within a World Heritage site.
Marksburg
Description of location and leisure:
Marksburg Castle, situated on a commanding hill above the town of Braubach, is one of the most important examples of medieval military architecture in Germany. Unlike many other castles in the region, Marksburg has never been destroyed, allowing it to retain a high degree of historical authenticity. Originally constructed in 1239, the castle underwent various modifications over the centuries, adapting to evolving defensive needs while preserving its structural integrity. Today, Marksburg serves as the headquarters of the German Castles Association (Deutsche Burgenvereinigung), Germany’s oldest organisation dedicated to the study and preservation of castles. The work carried out by the German Castles Association at Marksburg, both in conservation and in research, exemplifies the ongoing commitment to maintaining the authenticity and cultural value of these historic structures.
The castle is located within the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed in 2002. This 65-kilometre stretch of the Rhine between Bingen and Koblenz is recognised for its outstanding cultural landscape, shaped by centuries of human interaction with the natural environment. The site’s inclusion as part of the UNESCO cultural landscape highlights the interdependence of castles, trade routes, and human settlement patterns in shaping the historical development of the Rhine Valley.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The project focuses on conservation work along a historic mining water-management structure that formed part of the technological infrastructure of the Ore Mountains. The interventions will address approximately 300 metres of the Grabentour canal near Reinsberg, a section currently affected by sedimentation, vegetation overgrowth, and structural displacement that obscure its historic form and limit accessibility.
Hands-on conservation will centre on the careful clearing of accumulated debris, uncovering the original canal profile and enabling assessment of its condition. Participants will stabilise and repair damaged areas of the dry-stone channel walls using traditional construction techniques, reusing original stone material wherever possible and reassembling unstable sections to restore structural coherence while retaining historic fabric. Additional measures will include the cleaning and basic conservation of the nearby memorial stone of Lorenz von Schönberg, as well as minor maintenance of interpretative elements and visitor infrastructure along the route. All interventions will be carried out under the guidance of experienced craftspeople, ensuring compatibility with historic construction methods and supporting the long-term preservation of this water-management system within the mining landscape. The educational programme will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of mining heritage conservation, linking practical fieldwork to the historical function of hydraulic systems and their role within the World Heritage cultural landscape.

Reinsberg
Description of location and leisure:
The Grabentour canal near Reinsberg is located within the UNESCO World Heritage Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region, a transboundary cultural landscape in Saxony (Germany) and Czechia inscribed in 2019. Shaped by more than eight centuries of mining, the region documents the technological and social developments associated with the extraction of silver, tin, and other ores that drove the area’s economic growth. A defining feature of this landscape is its extensive historic water-management system. From the late Middle Ages onwards, networks of artificial channels, ponds, and underground conduits were constructed to supply the water power required for pumping, hoisting, and ore processing, representing outstanding examples of early industrial engineering and forming an integral part of the property’s Outstanding Universal Value. Constructed between 1844 and 1846 to supply water to mining operations, the Grabentour extends approximately 7.8 kilometres through the Bobritzsch Valley, combining open ditches, rock-cut sections, and underground passages and connecting directly to the Rothschönberger Stolln, one of the principal drainage adits of the Freiberg Mining Landscape. Today, the route is preserved as a cultural hiking path linking mining monuments and landscape features, maintaining its historical function as well as its importance for local heritage awareness.

Description of work:
The hands-on activities will centre on the conservation of the hydrotechnical and mechanical systems that historically powered paper production at the Niederzwönitz Paper Mill. Initial work will focus on the historic mill channel, where participants will clear washed-in sediment, vegetation, and debris to expose the structure and restore controlled water flow. Damaged sections of the wooden lining will be carefully dismantled and renewed using traditionally prepared timber elements fitted according to historic carpentry methods.
A second focus will address the maintenance of the water wheel and associated drive mechanisms that convert hydraulic energy into mechanical motion. Participants will clean the wheel chamber, service wooden and metal components, and secure connections to ensure stability and legibility of the system as a functional technological ensemble. Additional work will involve the care of selected historic machinery, including basic cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and minor repairs necessary for demonstration and preservation.
Through these coordinated measures, the project safeguards the interaction of water management, power transmission, and production equipment that defined the operation of the mill. The educational programme will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of technical heritage conservation within its wider industrial and World Heritage context.
Niederzwönitz
Description of location and leisure:
The Niederzwönitz Paper Mill, located in the Ore Mountains of Saxony, is documented as a centre of paper production since the 16th century and represents an important example of early manufacturing traditions associated with the region’s mining economy. Its operation depended on a purpose-built hydrotechnical system of canal, weir, and water wheel that supplied the energy required for paper and later cardboard production, illustrating the close relationship between water management, craft production, and proto-industrial technology. The site forms part of the wider cultural landscape of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region, shaped by more than eight centuries of mining and related industries and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019. The paper mill is recognised as an associated component of this context and is additionally included in the transnational UNESCO Tentative List entry “European Paper Mills (from the era of hand-made paper)” submitted in 2024, which highlights historic mills that demonstrate the technological and cultural significance of hand-made paper production in Europe. Today, the surviving buildings, water system, and technical installations provide insight into the integration of craft, industry, and resource management within the Ore Mountains and form an important point of reference for understanding the region’s broader economic and technological development.

Description of work:
Discover the unique habitat of the Wadden Sea and get involved in the conservation of the local flora and fauna. Every year since the summer of 2010, an ijgd group has supported nature conservation work in the coastal heathland and you will continue to do so. With a spade and hoe, you can help maintain the coastal heath and protect the native vegetation from being displaced by invasive, fast-spreading plants. By doing this work, you will help to preserve the typical character of the heathland. During your work, you will learn a lot about nature on the island and about the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will be guided by expert conservationists.
The project's accompanying environment programme includes a guided bike tour across the island, a guided mudflat hike and a visit to the National Park House with exhibitions, interactive stations and films about the Wadden Sea. Exchange and discussions on climate protection issues and practical nature conservation experiences in your home countries complete this programme.
Description of location and leisure:
Wangerooge is part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park and has an amazing flora and fauna. Cars are forbidden, so life on the island will be quiet and ecological. In your free time, you can go swimming and enjoy the summer feeling at the village and the sunset at the beach.
