#13 Construction helpers wanted - join us on site!

The crowdfunding campaign is running

Dear friends of Bahnhof Leisnig, 

First of all, we would like to say a big thank you to all of you! As you know, our crowdfunding has been running since September ( https://www.startnext.com/en/bahnhof-leisnig) and thanks to you, we are on track for reaching the necessary threshold. We are especially overwhelmed by the many large donations. The campaign will run until 11 November and we are confident that we will reach the first threshold of €50,000 so that we can use the money for the renovation. Every amount helps us, even with many small donations we can reach our goal!

Construction helpers wanted - join us on site!

We have been receiving letters from people who would like to lend a hand with the renovation. This is finally possible and we are looking for people who would like to help with the renovation of the reception hall from 27.10. - 6.12.2021. We start every day at 10:00 and finish at 18:00. 

We need help especially with the restoration of the historic ceiling. The following needs to be done: 

  • number the decorative strips from below, remove them, take them down, keep them sorted and refurbish them one by one.
  • Scrape off the paint that was painted later on to get the original colour back out 
  • paint / oil the new formwork and the new rafters. 
  • Put the decorative trims back on 
  • Possibly re-plaster the upper wall area where the plaster has come down 
  • Clean the glue paint from the upper wall area in order to get to the first colour coating. Possibly re-plaster the upper wall area where the plaster has come down.

If you would like to take part, you can register with us hereso that we can coordinate the work action:

Please do not come without registration so that we can better organise 😉

Christmas market together with you?

We have decided to organise a Christmas market this year on 11 and 12 December with delicious food, mulled wine, music, arts and crafts and a children's programme. If you would like to be involved with a stall or an artistic performance, please contact us. Maybe we can integrate it in one way or another. If you are interested or have any ideas, please email events@bahnhof-leisnig.de

Warm wishes, 

The Bahnhof Team

PS: New rendering video: Here's a video of what the hall, concert hall and café could soon look like. 

PPS: One adventure per day, at least!

Because of the roof/ceiling work in the hall, the wings have to go. How do you do that when the wing is too wide for the door and there are only two of you?  You can see that in this video. Many thanks to Lena Thalheim from the Landesmusikakademie Sachsen for the ingenious transport device!!
