Öase Marsdorf

Nestled amidst the rolling hills north of Dresden, the Öase Marsdorf beckons. This isn’t just a garden. It’s a testament to a dream. A dream of a slower pace, a deeper connection with nature, and a vibrant community. The Öase Marsdorf, established in 2016, is a unique initiative. It’s a place where city life meets rural tranquility, where tradition embraces modernity. This project began in 2014 with the restoration of a beautiful timber-framed farmhouse, originally built in 1748. Now, surrounding the farmhouse, a mosaic of life unfolds. A newly planted orchard thrives. Fields stretch towards the horizon, promising a bountiful harvest. A garden, complete with a tranquil pond, invites quiet contemplation. And a small wood offers a welcome escape. The Öase Marsdorf is more than just a green space. It’s a creative platform, constantly evolving and expanding. It offers a place for people to experiment with gardening, building, crafting, and even making music. The vision for Öase Marsdorf is grand. It’s envisioned as a place for generations to connect and learn. A place for culture and education to flourish. A sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. The Öase Marsdorf promotes the sharing of knowledge and the practical application of traditional crafts. They practice solidarity farming, growing fruits, vegetables, and grains together. They invite everyone to experience sustainable living firsthand. It serves as a hub for networking and fosters creative endeavors. This 11,000 square meter oasis is privately owned and run by a dedicated association. They welcome helpers and collaborators, inviting everyone to become a part of this unique endeavor. The Öase Marsdorf offers workshops and seminars on gardening and ecological topics. It’s a space where you can reconnect with the earth and with each other, a true oasis in the heart of Saxony.
