Gutenhalde

Gutenhalde is an estate with multiple buildings designed in Low German farmhouse style, situated on a gentle slope south of Bonlanden. The structures include a country house, workshops, and a former bathhouse decorated with mosaics.

Entrepreneur Willy Bürkle purchased the land in 1941 and built residential and workshop facilities for his company. After World War II, it was transformed into a children's residential community and later became an educational and therapeutic center.

The grounds reveal the philosophy of their founders through how spaces are arranged and used together. The connection between living areas and learning spaces shows a deliberate attempt to blend daily life with education.

The site sits on a gentle slope with various pathways leading to different buildings. The structures are spread across the grounds, making a walk through the entire area worthwhile to see everything.

A ceramics workshop once operated on the grounds and was later adapted for artistic work. This craft heritage shapes how the place understands the connection between making things with your hands and education.
