In Haus Saron we have four handicapped accessible rooms in which you can move freely with a wheelchair or rollator. As an additional aid, we have an electrically adjustable slatted frame in three of these rooms and of course, the bathrooms are equipped accordingly. The rooms are designed as single rooms, but can also be bedded for two people.

It was supposed to be a sawmill, but the builder went bankrupt just after the foundation walls of the building were laid. Employees of the Süddeutscher Gemeinschaftsverband (South German Community Association), who were concerned with the question of establishing a Christian recreational work among city children and were looking for a suitable Bible, leisure and recreation center, learned about this.

Thus began the long and blessed history of our house in 1925. With commitment and a great deal of personal effort, they set to work, so that the inauguration could be celebrated already in May 1926! Only six years later (1932) an extension was added.

In 1940 the house was confiscated by the Wehrmacht and after the war it served as a temporary home for refugees before being returned to the Süddeutscher Gemeinschaftsverband in 1954. Finally, the work could continue. With great confidence, expansion took place and in 1956 the "Youth Home" was built with about 45 beds. A fundamental renovation of the same took place in the 1980s; since then it has been known and loved as our "Freizeitheim" with an open fireplace.

In 1959, another guesthouse, the "Haus Zion", was inaugurated, which was then expanded a few years later. After more and more and also larger camps took place, the Andachtssaal was built in 1964.

Of course, modernization measures were carried out again and again over the years. In 1995/96, for example, the Haus Saron was expanded and all rooms were equipped with showers and toilets. The modernization of the dining room also took place during this period.

In order to be able to respond to the wishes of the groups and guests in a contemporary and flexible manner, additional group rooms were set up in Haus Zion in 2009 (including a seminar room on the first floor), a projector was installed in the devotional hall. The loudspeaker system as well as the complete media technology were modernized and wifi access was installed in all houses.

Where the garages used to be located under the devotional hall, up to 70 people can now hold meetings. The newly acquired and renovated meeting room (2014) is equipped with modern technology (projector, screen, sound system, etc.) and is also suitable for celebrating events.

Another major project was the reconstruction of the path from the lower parking lot to the houses. The many steps were not easy to walk on for everyone (but especially for those with a lot of luggage or those who are not good on their feet).

Since 2016, our guests have been able to pull their wheeled suitcases to all three houses quite comfortably and without any obstacles and even those with physical disabilities can reach all entrances barrier-free.

For our younger guests, the playground on the premises was generously rebuilt and renovated between 2017 and 2018. Now the slide, swing and others can be enjoyed to the full again.

In March 2019, the first construction phase for the renovation at Haus Zion was completed. The rooms shine in a new guise, completely renovated and equipped with modern bathrooms.

The second construction took place in 2021, where the remaining rooms in Haus Zion has been overhauled.
