The volunteers of ijgd workcamp “CARE AND PRESERVATION OF MONUMENTS” (1400) invited the local audience of Coswig to an open day to their campsite. During a three hours program they presented the work they have done during their three weeks stay in Coswig:
1) Sanding off old windows
2) Working with clay
3) Creating clay plasters
4) Putting the clay plasters on wall (overall 230 square meters) and watering them twice a day
At least 230 square clay plaster were used by the 18 volunteers.
The visitors got the chance to try all theses works out and as you can see on the pictures they enjoyed it a lot. The mayor of Coswig Doris Berlin mixed the clay plasters with her own feet saying “It is a great exercise for my legs’ blood circulation- I will come every day.”
Some of the older visitors were particularly touched that so many young people from around the world were guests in their Coswig 50 years after the Berlin Wall has been built in August 1961.
The Flag had arrived one day before the event and has been placed directly on the wall of the old Simonetti-Haus so that every visitor can see it. Afterwards the flag continued her journey to Hildesheim.
