The IDEA
URKRAFT
+
Urkraft comes from a German word meaning fundamental power.
Being born and raised in Germany shaped me deeply. The culture influenced me in many ways and taught me a lot — both through its strengths and its challenges. In my twenties, I began an inner journey of self-discovery and personal work. Along the way, I became aware of a deeply rooted cultural issue around manhood. Realizing that I was not alone in this struggle inspired me to go further.
I began working with men, creating men’s groups, spending time in nature, and exploring what healthy masculinity can look like. This path eventually led me to become a psychologist.
EDUCATION
I come from a strong scientific background, having studied molecular biology. I still value modern scientific approaches and recognize their importance — while also being aware that they are far from perfect. Modern therapy can be incredibly helpful for many people, and this belief is what led me to choose the path of becoming a clinical psychologist as well.
THE IDEA
Meeting Linde changed everything. It showed me that I no longer wanted to walk this path alone — and that together, we could create something bigger and more meaningful. Urkraft is our vision of a place where people can come together: to be creative, to teach and learn from one another, to share skills, reconnect with nature, and enjoy our short and precious time on this planet — together. Finding our farm was really just the beginning and creating the space feels nothing short of fantastic.

Culture
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets.

PROJECT URKRAFT is born
Connection
We live in an interesting time, where a lot is happening — often too much for a single person to process. Much of it feels distant, complex, and hard to truly grasp.
This is where Urkraft comes in.
Our project is small, local, and open to like-minded people. It offers a space to slow down, reconnect, and return to what feels real. At its heart, Urkraft is about coming together — sharing presence, ideas, work, and moments.
Because connection is where everything begins.
Retreat
Our retreats are an invitation to slow down and reconnect — with nature, creativity, and the body you live in every day. We create room for honesty, play, and presence.
At Urkraft, we work with nature as a grounding force and creativity as a language beyond words. Special designed, we offer retreats for men, people living with diabetes, or anyone is interested to reconnect with bodily awareness, rhythm, and balance — without pressure, comparison, or judgment.
It’s about listening, creating, and remembering that you’re not alone.
Workshop
Having many interests and hobbies often comes with a whole world of tools and skills. At Urkraft, we open our grounds to work, learn, and create together.
Whether it’s gardening, farming, woodworking, renovating, or fixing even your bike or car is fun 🙂 — there’s space for it here. Skills are shared, hands get dirty, and knowledge flows naturally from one person to another.
At Urkraft, learning happens by doing — together.
RECOVER
Play hard. Relax even harder. Allow yourself to rest. Something that sounds simple — but often isn’t, especially for the modern man.
We want you to leave feeling better than when you arrived. Find your own spot in or around the house. Use our accommodation, or bring your favorite tent — everything and everyone is welcome.
We love being together: working side by side, sharing meals, cooking and talking. But if it ever feels like too much, that’s completely okay. Step back. Breathe. Take your rest.
Disclaimer: Project Urkraft is not about money.
We bought our farm with joy and within our financial possibilities. We’re not aiming to create a five-star hotel, but a living, growing project that evolves over time.
Our focus is on reuse and simplicity — using as many second-hand materials as possible, growing our own food, and choosing time, presence, and connection over spending and luxury.
At Urkraft, richness isn’t measured in money, but in shared moments, work, and life lived together.
