Life Under Palms: Sieben Liden Ecovillage (1 hour) 2001

Filmmaker Michael Wuerfel lived and filmed in the community of Sieben Linden for four months in the summer of 2001 and created "Life under Palm Trees" - a powerful and captivating snapshot of a freshly founded intentional community project with huge ambitions.

The eco village of Sieben Linden – a community in the countryside with the vision of growing to the economically and socially functioning ecological village, in the middle of the Altmark in Saxony Anhalt, surrounded by arable land. 

“Life under palm trees” – a curious observation: how does it live here? How does living together work? How are the contacts with locals, what do you want to do differently? Is life in the eco-village escape from reality or a real alternative? 

In June 2001, Michael Würfel set up a tent in Sieben Linden and accompanied the summer life for four months.

Sieben Linden has grown since then, in 2009 there are already more than 100 people who live there. The goal has remained: to live together many times in a variety of way, sustainable and enjoyable.

Sieben Linden: the ecovillage where a new world is a reality (15 mins) 2024

The Ecovillage Sieben Linden, situated in the community Beetzendorf in the Altmark – District Salzwedel, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, was established in 1997. 

It has the aim to realize collaborative and holistic sustainable lifestyles, that connect a small ecological footprint with a high quality of life. 

A recent study of the university of Torino proves that we are on a successful way to this call. Currently a little more than one hundred adults and forty children and adolescents are living in eleven straw-bale houses and about fourty well insulated construction trailers. 

The cooperatively organised village covers over a hundred hectars of land; there of 80 hectars of woods, which is managed sustainably. The core of the village is a half timbered ecologically restored farmhouse, that accommodates the community and seminar rooms. In the garden fruits and vegetables are cultivated for self-sufficiency. Composting toilets, a sewage treatment plant and solar panel provide local energy and closed material cycles. 

The lean structures of the village offer the possibility, to shape social, ecological, economical and cultural aspects. In the interaction of all those areas may develop a sustainable entity that offers space for the diversity, creativity and the different needs of there residents. The Ecovillage Sieben Linden is liberal-minded and hospitable village. 

We welcome people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, age groups, with and without disabilities. Ecovillage Sieben Linden defines itself as a village that strives for sustainability in all its 4 dimensions: Ecology, Economy, Social and Culture. 

We'll also have:

Delicious (mostly) organic vegan curries from Fergus Bradbeer aka Vegie Vortex (who also does the curries at Beach and Barnicott), plus hot and cold drinks. 

Please note:

Our room hire costs £42/ week so if you're able to able to contribute more than the default ticket amount then please do so. 

We also need to ensure enough people come along to make it worthwhile for Fergus to keep coming along to cook up the delicious food - so invite a friend!
