Holiday fun for children and young people
For over 25 years, the Youth Section of the Lübeck Gymnastic and Sports Association has been organising holiday camps for children and young people whose families are cannot do so. Every year, a large team of young people and youth workers go to great lengths to help children to have unforgettable holidays.
The children can enjoy relaxing holidays. Every day features games, fun and sport together. New friendships are made and for some participants, the foundations are laid for their own future involvement as youth group leaders.
The Possehl Foundation sponsors these holiday programmes and provides reliable resources in addition to the extensive public funding provided by the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and the state of Schleswig-Holstein.
Historical Village
The Roter Hahn e.V. historical experience space offers children and youth work, experimental archaeology and animal-assisted education on an area of 12 hectares. Since 1999, a unique place in Germany has been growing here, where contemporary educational work is combined with early and high medieval living environments. Historical buildings are reconstructed with the participation of children and young people and used for festivals and events. Domestic and farm animals threatened with extinction populate parts of the site.
The highlight of the current activities is the construction of a medieval monastery complex from the 12th century. Magnificent windows have been installed in the refectory. A practical cooperation between the state vocational school for glaziers in Travemünde and the history experience room has made this possible and shows how much craftsmanship and design possibilities are hidden behind the profession of glazier.
The Roter Hahn e.V. history experience room remains a place for children and young people from Kücknitz and Lübeck and an important meeting place for the district, but is also increasingly an attraction for interested visitors from far beyond the region.
