It has been subject to frequent changes of ownership and since , it has been owned by creative professionals who use the place for project work and part-time living. As part of the master's thesis, the existing courtyard ensemble is first recorded and examined in the context of the site. On this basis, a utilisation concept will be developed.
This is then differentiated for the severely damaged large cattle barn in the form of a design and redevelopment plan. Structural planning, building physics and economic concerns are taken into account. The inventory of the ensemble was carried out within the framework of various on-site visits for the focussed large cattle barn in the form of a measurement, room book and damage mapping.
For the other three buildings, a photo documentation was made. The building survey was supplemented by research on the history of the building and the village, as well as on construction features. The courtyard buildings are severely damaged. In particular, the roof structures show damage due to water penetration and a fire. The masonry is salinated due to agricultural use. Further damage occurred as a result of conversion measures. The utilisation concept is designed on the basis of the identified concerns.
Due to its location in the village centre, the farm has great potential as a village meeting place and identity-forming element. An intergenerational use with space for housing, culture and co-creation addresses the need for diversified forms of housing, cultural offerings and meeting place character, while on-site work spaces counter the poorly developed public connections.
The choice of space programmes is based on the building cubatures. The residential building will continue to be used privately on the upper floor and communally on the ground floor. The two stables serve different forms of housing, while the barn serves as a cultural and event venue.
