The Katholische Landvolkshochschule (LVHS Freckenhorst) Schorlemer Alst Freckenhorst is an established place of learning and encounter in a green setting with over 70 years of experience in adult education, operated on behalf of the Bistum Münster [4][6]. It offers around 400 educational programs annually in seven specialist areas: politics, spirituality, profession, rural area, environment, social affairs, health and culture [2][6]. With a diverse program, the LVHS supports personal development and social participation, especially for people from rural areas. The intensive cooperation with the Katholische Landvolk-Bewegung (KLB) and the Katholische Landjugend-Bewegung (KLJB) promotes dialogue about agriculture and sustainable structural development in rural areas [2].
The focus of the LVHS is the education of mind and heart as a fundamental value and mission, combined with a holistic understanding of education [2]. The institution sees itself not only as a seminar house, but as a place of encounter where people of different generations come together to learn from each other and experience community [5].
The accommodation offers modern rooms with 57 single and double rooms for a total of 82 guests, equipped with contemporary comfort and a private bathroom [3]. The event rooms, including a garden hall and several seminar and club rooms, create optimal conditions for different educational formats, from conferences to music weeks [3].
A special focus is on high-quality catering: the LVHS has been bio-certified since 2005 and processes around 25% organic products in a modern fresh kitchen with buffet service. The kitchen team attaches great importance to variety, sustainability and quality, for which the house has also been awarded as a qualified training company of the Verband der Köche Deutschlands [3][6].
Sustainability for the LVHS is not only reflected in the organic kitchen, but also in its role as an educational institution that accompanies and promotes the sustainable transformation of rural living and working environments. This corresponds to its mission to develop sustainable perspectives and to convey responsible handling of the environment and society [2][6].
In summary, the Katholische Landvolkshochschule Freckenhorst is a modern, versatile educational institution that makes an important contribution to personal development and the strengthening of the rural area in the Bistum Münster with sustainable educational programs, lived hospitality and ecological commitment.
Key features:
This combination of comprehensive adult education, sustainable practice and lived hospitality makes the LVHS Freckenhorst a unique place of learning and encounter in a green setting [2][3][4][6].
