Historisches Haus in schönster Lage
Wir, Martin und Annegret mit unseren zwei erwachsenen Töchtern, haben den Haustausch sehr genossen. Man hat nicht oft die Gelegenheit in einem mittelalterlichen Fachwerkhaus zu wohnen. Dieses Haus hat einen besonderen Charme und kombiniert alt und modern auf eine perfekte Weise. Es ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und äußerst gemütlich. Alles, was wir brauchten, war vorhanden, sogar Wickelfische, was wir vorher noch nicht kannten. Den Tipp unserer Tauschpartner, sich auf diesem Art Seesack den Rhein hinuntertreiben zu lassen, haben wir gleich in die Tat umgesetzt. Es war ein erfrischendes Erlebnis bei den sommerlichen Tempertaturen! Das Haus ist in bester Lage: auf der einen Seite der Rhein und auf der anderen Seite die Altstadt. Das Münster, die Museen, Ausstellungen, Geschäfte, historische Gassen und andere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Unser eigenes Haus und den Garten fanden wir bei der Rückkehr bestens gepflegt vor – sogar der Rasen war frisch gemäht. Herzlichen Dank für den wunderschönen Haustausch!

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We cannot do any exchanges in Summer 2021.
We have two cats in our house in Göttingen. Our second home in Mainz (entry upcoming) is pet-free.
Our house dates from the 1920s, is full of character, and renovating it is a never-ending task. We proceed as funds allow. In 2013 we roofed it and added two balconies. in 2014 we renovated the kitchen. Our furniture is a mixture of family pieces and flea marked findings (some renovated some not yet), added by pieces from IKEA and lately some from antique shops. Altogether it maybe called "shabby chique".
We still have a few toys, a number of musical instruments, including a piano and a drum set. We can only receive about 15 German TV programmes but we have a vast DVD collection and an X-Box Kinect which we enjoy on a nice big flat screen. We have thousands of books, quite a few of them in English.
We love gardening but again the garden is a work in progress: A spacious stone veranda and huge cherry tree, and some old roses with mixed borders, a small potager - some parts newly planted, some still fairly wild. As we live in a city the whole place is only 500 m2.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Göttingen is a nice university town, with lots of half-timbered houses (Fachwerkhäuser). Once the Brothers Grimm were professors here. There is a number of very interesting university collections, including the a south sea ethnographica collection of co-travellers of captain James Cook. We have a great indoor pool in walking or easy biking distance, 4 open pools and a small lake, 15km from here.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
The surroundings of Göttingen offer sweet hills with either fields or forests, some with castles on them, or ruins. The Harz is a 40 min drive to the east and very beautiful. At the same distance to the west you find the beautiful river Weser for lots of possible excursions. The cities of Hanover, Kassel, Erfurt are in easy reach by car or railway. Or you just walk up the hill and into the forest within 10 minutes. Or you take the bike down the valley along the small river Leine.

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
For 2021, we are looking for 14-21 days in summer, preferably some place connected by public transport. We'd love to be in the vicinity of a good public swimming pool, lake, or beach. We will be at least 3. Our two adult children may or may not accompany us, they might even bring their partners. That depends on the available space in your house and on their individual plans which have not yet been made.
