Farewell Eishäuschen in Braunwald
For 34 Years, from 1988, Felix Stüssi from the Design Werkstatt was able to rent the vacant former Staff House from Bellevue Hotelier Martin Vogel. Gradually, a well-furnished, original workshop was established. Until 2022, workshops with different topics in the jewellery field were held every week from mid-July to mid-September, a well-attended meeting place for jewellery makers from many countries. In the summer of 2022, the last workshops took place in the studio named Eishäuschen. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this success. Braunwald loses an important cultural contribution and many guests with about 500 overnight stays every summer.
Fortunately, the summer courses can continue to take place. The design workshop in Freiburg with 10 places is located near the centre in the beautiful district of Wiehre and is well equipped for the continuation of the workshops. A perfect place to develop ideas and learn new techniques.
Freiburg is described as one of the most popular Towns worldwide in the lonely Planet travel guide. The historic part of the city is also the lively centre of today's Freiburg. The landmark of Freiburg is the Cathedral, whose tower is one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture. Around the cathedral and the spacious cathedral square, visitors discover the secretive alleys and impressive buildings of the historic old town, which offer a picturesque and colourful contrast to the weekly market. In addition, there are numerous museums, galleries and theatres, the many restaurants offer international dishes. Freiburg is a sun-spoiled place and its location makes it an excellent starting point for day trips to the Black Forest or to the bathing lakes. From October to the end of June, continuous morning, afternoon and evening courses for participants who join the classes once a week are suitable for participants from the region and are not listed in this program, the weekend- and summer courses of the year 2023, which are also interesting for participants outside Freiburg are listed. The summer workshops in Freiburg start on July 23rd and end on September 29th (from August 12th to September 16th there are no courses).
