The micro museum consists of the house and 400 m² former self-catering garden. The idea is a cultural and memorial site that combines local recreation and education.
We want to protect the tiny house and surrounding garden as a living monument and make it accessible to the public with its history.
A path is supposed to lead to the house, which makes the various stations of the bombed out tangible: the escape from the firestorm and from the burnt city, the difficult journey of the refugees, always accompanied by loss. The arrival in nature. freedom.
The reconstruction ... A permanent installation leads the visitors from the adjacent parking lot to the house and tells the story of the refugees. Information boards provide more detailed explanations. Behind the house, the path continues to a lake, which is still popular as a local recreation area.
For this purpose we collect donations and are desperately looking for sponsors. A donation receipt can be advertised.

"Kerinnes Haus" is a former approx. 50m² emergency shelter with self-catering garden in the Stormarn district. It was built around 1944 after the bombing of Hamburg. After a long search for a way to preserve it for posterity, it was added to the list of cultural monuments in 2017.
The farmer Sielk's uncle built it after he and his family had lost their apartment in Hamburg during the war.
They later sold it to the Kerinnes refugee family. When the mother died at the age of 103, her son-in-law sold it in 1999 to Thorsten Fixemer, who lived there until 2014 together with Anuschka Thomas.
After the ban on continuing to live in the house, we decided to make it accessible to the public and to maintain it.
A micro museum is to be created, a place for local recreation and education
