Spend the night in a work of art? It's possible at the Bochmann organic farm in Neukirchen-Adorf. Instead of dairy cows, the farm now offers creative overnight accommodation for hikers and nature lovers. Design students have developed mobile sleeping cells - known as "Very Tiny Houses" - made from unusual materials such as barrels, trampolines and wheelbarrows. The offer is complemented by an ecological kitchen station and self-designed seating furniture. You can spend the night in the middle of the paddock: you choose your spot in a large meadow and roll your bed there - just as the mood takes you.
On Sunday 21 June, the next sleeping cell, the LightHouse , will be integrated into the existing ensemble and presented to the public. It was built by Benjamin Amann, a graduate of the Faculty of Applied Arts Schneeberg at the West Saxon University of Applied Sciences in Zwickau.
In the hot summer of 2018, the Bochmann organic farmers had to sell their dairy cattle. Since then, they have provided simple overnight accommodation for hikers and pilgrims. Together with students from the Faculty of Applied Arts Schneeberg at the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau, the Schlaf Schön! project was created as part of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 programme on the PURPLE PATH art and sculpture trail.
This event is supported by the Friends of the PURPLE PATH e.V.
