Speckstrasse 7
It all began with the purchase and renovation of the house at Speckstraße 7. The old half-timbered building with front and rear wings, which had been vacant since 2004, was so badly damaged that many observers considered it ready for demolition. However, the members of the cooperative, along with other half-timbered building enthusiasts and activists from all over Germany, took up the challenge.
Coinciding with the Monument Art Festival in Hann. Münden on 27 September 2013, the 9mal24 project was launched with the aim of renovating the old house on Speckstraße as much as possible in just 9 days, 24 hours a day – with the voluntary help of citizens, planners, craftsmen and construction workers from all over Germany.
