We are a family with 3 children, 2 have already moved out and are working and live in Frankfurt or Weingarten. We live in the middle of Ueberlingen in a beautiful Art Nouveau villa, built in 1913 and very elaborately completely refurbished until 2017, so everything is new, from the basement to the roof. My wife Simone studied Diplom-Pedagogy and runs the language school in the boarding school Schule Schloss Salem and teaches German as a foreign language. I studied business administration and am a partner and managing director of a software development company. Our son David stays from September 2018 in a private school named Schule Schloss Salem for his last two years of school until graduation.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our house is a charming, beautiful Art Nouveau Villa in the middle of Ueberlingen, a historical city located directly at Lake Constance. The Villa was build in 1913 but each single part of our house was restored and renewed in 2015. Our challenge was to maintain as many specific elements of Art Nouveau as possible, but at the same time have all the comfort and cosyness of a modern house. On each floor you find a Swedish oven which spreads warm atmosphere, character and a special feeling of a secure place. Our house is surrounded by a beautiful big garden that you can enter either from a wonderful kitchen or through the front door. You will feel free without any interruption of neighborhood. Although it is so close to city center and Ueberlingen`s promenade, in our Villa you find a place to rest and have a quiet and peaceful time to relax and enjoy.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
In our neighborhood there are young families which children from little to teens, but also older generations. It is a colourful mixture of all generations with children playing outside on the street as it is situated in a dead end, without a lot of traffic. From the Villa it takes only a 5 minutes walk to get to the old part of Ueberlingen, where you find a farmer´s market twice a week with fresh vegetables, fruits, cheese and fish, plenty of cafés and restaurants, two cinemas, summer festivals, theatres, thermal baths and attractions of various kind. Best: everything is so close, you do not need a car! The train station is 90 m from the Villa, from where you can reach other citys like Constance, Meersburg, Friedrichshafen and even Bregenz / Austria. By ship you can easilynreach all different kind of touristic attractions or just stay on a ship a whole day for sight seeing.
