Okodorf Sieben Linden

The settlement encompasses 100 hectares of land with 80 hectares of sustainably managed forest, 11 straw-bale houses, and 40 insulated construction trailers.

The project started in 1997 when initial settlers moved into trailers on 25 hectares, expanding to accommodate over 120 residents across 80 hectares.

The community implements consensus-based democratic decisions among residents from different backgrounds, following the concept of balanced sustainable lifestyles.

Residents produce vegetables in communal gardens, utilize composting toilets, manage waste through a treatment plant, and generate power through solar installations.

The Strohpolis building stands as the largest straw-bale construction in Europe, demonstrating innovative sustainable architecture techniques.
