"When empty rooms become open doors, a village remembers how to gather."

The community house
Zum Adler — your village community hub
The three-storey corner building at Burgstraße and Georgstraße — once Gasthof "Zum Adler" — sits at the crossroads of village life. Repurposed floor by floor, it becomes a multi-use hub where heritage café culture, local enterprise, co-working, and childcare share one address.
- Ground floor — heritage café, beer garden, and village living room
- First floor — business studios, podcast room, and maker workshops
- Second floor — flexible co-working and meeting rooms
- Third floor — childcare, youth space, and family programmes
Floor plans
Four floors, four purposes
Heritage café & beer garden
Open forecourt with seating, a warm café interior, and space for informal gatherings — the ground floor welcomes everyone who passes through Georgstraße.
Business studios & podcast room
Small enterprises, recording booths, and workshop rooms for local makers who need affordable space in the village centre.
Co-working & meeting rooms
Hot desks, quiet zones, and bookable meeting rooms for remote workers, associations, and project teams.
Childcare & youth programmes
Day-care rooms, after-school clubs, and flexible youth space — keeping young families rooted in Poppenhausen.
Warehouse quarter
Markets, cinema, craft & seasonal village life
The long halls off Tolzweg — once industrial storage — are reimagined as flexible spaces for popup markets, film nights, repair cafés, concerts, and a craft academy where older generations pass skills to the next. Events rotate through the seasons; the buildings adapt with them.
Village cinema
Film nights, documentary screenings, and open-air projections in the courtyard — culture without driving to the city.
Weekly / monthlyRepair café
Bring broken bikes, appliances, and textiles — volunteers and craftspeople help fix rather than discard.
MonthlyBoard games & choir
Evening game clubs and a community choir that rehearses in the warm hall — low-threshold ways to belong.
WeeklyCommunity dinner & family brunch
Shared tables, local ingredients, and long Sunday brunches that turn neighbours into friends.
MonthlyLive music & concerts
From acoustic evenings to full concert nights — the warehouse acoustics and open floor make it a natural stage.
SeasonalCraft academy
Older generations teaching the young
Workshops run across the warehouse halls and spill into the village garden. Master craftspeople share practical skills that keep Rhön traditions alive — hands in wood, thread, iron, and soil.
