The story

Founded by Horst-Klaus Hofmann and Irmela Hofmann.1

The community was founded by Irmela and Horst-Klaus Hofmann as a contrast movement to the Protests of 1968. Horst-Klaus Hofmann was executive secretary of the YMCA-Mannheim and held Christian youth meetings in the offices of the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary in Darmstadt. They invited students to share their family life in their home in Bensheim, Odenwald. The family grew to an extended family and subsequently to a Christian community. They moved to Reichelsheim, Odenwald and bought the Reichenberg castle.

Since 1999 the community defines itself as ecumenical.
