Jens has been a co-founder and a board member in the first four years of the non-profit organisation Haus Döschnitz e.V. along with a bunch of young architects, preservationists, urbanists, cultural scientists and other professionals from Berlin, Cottbus, Weimar and other cities and regions.
The associtation pursues the transdisciplinary development of the former residential building and local history museum, most recently the seat of the local hunting and landowners club and mayor's office, into a community-oriented place of learning, production and relaxation. The aim of the association is to establish a place for regular encounters and experimental exchange in the fields of education and research, culture and history, as well as living and working, with the involvement of supra-regional and local actors. Haus Döschnitz will be a place that offers both individuals and groups the temporary opportunity to learn, work cooperatively and stay overnight in the context of the Schwarzatal natural space, furthermore a space that opens up to the local community and promotes local social and democratic coexistence through recurring programmatic impulses.
