The approximately 120 year old municipal house in Seelscheid has made long and moved history. It has accommodated important
institutions with lots of friendly atmosphere. It served as a birthplace where about 500 babies were born, as a kindergarten
with mother´s center, it was a welfare station and a nursing home. After 1970, doctors have practiced here for more than 25
years.
An occurred renovation back log and the continuing decline of the historical building fabric required a total renovation.
The acquisition of the ensemble of buildings opened the idea of a house for
living, work and seminars to us. We have started with the extensive
renovation in the year 2002. Considering the demands of historical monument
conservation, an ecological construction method and the requirements of
modern technology, the "old municipal house" became the seminar house in the
Rhineland, the House in Movement
When entering, this estate with several wings around a cozy courtyard lets arise a little idyllic world.
The art noveau shaped hall with its 80 sqm and ceelings of 4-5 m offers space
for courses like Yoga, Feldenkrais, Qi Gong, Karate, belly dance and
eurythmy. However, dancing events, concerts, exhibitions also take place
here as well as workshops, further and advanced educations. Among other
things, two massage practices are located in the former men´s cottage which
