LebensGut Cobstädt
Where we live
In 2004 the socio-ecological community project “Lebensgut Cobstaedt” was founded by some young people from Erfurt. It sees itself as a small network of friends, projects, residential and living communities. In four homesteads, on about 12 hectare of land, and in a an agricultural enterprise cooperative and communal working , life and economy is practised.
Ark of diversity
Network of self-supply!
On the grounds of the association, people of the region find a show garten for crop diversity and biodiversity. The “Ark of Diversity” as well as cultural and spiritual events, seminars, festivals, art and culture can unfold and find room for development here.
Thus a small paradise emerges in which the resources and the knowledge for the next
generations are being preserved.

Slogan of our movement
Cooperations
Through projects like “Living in Sustainable Villages” and “Region of Diversity” cooperation with the villagers, neighbouring communities, offices and schools is developing intensively.
Region of diversity
Shaping the future
Region with model character
A visit at our place will be a short time travel into the next decade and make you want to go
forward joyfully. We implement innovative housing and living models e.g. tiny houses, and
sustainable technologies e.g. self-sufficient energy concepts, directly on site.
Likewise we not only promote the local mobility, but also provide for consciousness and educational work.
We plant various rare tree species, including over 1000 old varieties of fruit that we plan to use for future generations.
Furthermore we develop a network that promotes local added value and regional economic cycles together with the people of the region.
We promote an awareness of change and maintain diversity through tree planting campaigns, where especially trees can be planted for and with our children.
Our vision of a new earth
A “new” earth can be planted!
We are convinced that all living beings can exist in peace with each other.
We want to actively work for the preservation of our homeland, the environment – and for a future worth living.
We show this in projects with a wide range of approaches – above all tree planting campaigns and seminars, excursions, workshops, fields, nurseries and more.
We would like to work in a culture of unity and for each other, as well as living in close contact with nature. Acting in solidarity and in a way that is suitable for our grandchildren,
with respect for all life. So that future generations will find good conditions for their unfolding.
Ghandi
“Be the change, that you wish for this world”
We are actively committed at working together for self-determined sovereignty and access to all the basic resources of a peaceful togetherness.
