...
The Transition House is located in Witzenhausen. A little town pupular popular for having the first place in germany to only/fully study ecological agriculture. Which seems to make a great influence. Still while the city is small there are many iniatives initiatives doing social and commons work.
It's a great oportiunity opportunity to explore and opening room for transparent communication incl. to encourage more people of beeing being active. As the The group of TT is looking for support in building a working team maintaining the house . This his incl. practical work like repairing broken showers, but more even support in creating this team inlcincl. transparent and welcomming welcoming communication.
The place is looking for people taking commitment.

What is happening here?
It's like a plattform developing transition. Internal like external. There's a meeting room in the first place used as a open cafe, jamsessions, meetings, workshops etc.
Also a great oportnunity opportunity finding out what you/we have to offer and hosting events. There's regualy repair cafe in the hackingspace. A cooking team brings regular people on a donation basic together.
There's a coworking space, mainly used by ecobytes and transformap, an gallery for painting...etc.
rooms:
It has 4 floors hosting a diverse spectrum of groups. Encouraging with the different groups, and finding out how we can support each other is more then apprichiacatedappropriated.
sleeping
There are 3 rooms which can are used as sleeping space. There are ca. 6 "normal" madresses madress in this moments, a couch to sleep on and some camping madressesmadress. Beside that there's in the so called hackingspace floor a living room incl. a sleeping couch to host 2-3 people.
...
There are some supermarkets around, with from time to time filled dumpsters. Cooperation are until now not existing. A market close by is also existing but we need to drive to get there. Can be bike or ca car (which Hans-Christian Eick got offerd. If someone likes to work with iniative initiative Solawi (community supported accriculture) that would be another possiblity to get some left overs (everything biological.)
social:
Everyone I met sofar is really open and friendly. The place was very welcomming welcoming to me. Communication between those who are already longer involved containes contains from time to time some unsolved conflicts. ...but just like very often if people work with different workingstyles/opinions etc. togehterlonger together. Nothing special, but some unfulfilled needs. I just bring it up to invite you supporting in solving.
...
It's directly where a couple of iniatives initiatives working with very simliar aims like yunity. Working for the commons. Every support we do here is supporting yunity even if it isn't directly supporting "our" group. It supports streghing strengthening the network around common economy and local initativesinitiatives.
Also are here ecobytes and transformap located. Both fitting very well into the intention of creating a multisharing online plattform intention. Maxim from inventaire (book sharing), very entheusatic enthusiastic about open data will be also here.
