Feuer & Flamme

Holiday home Feuer & Flamme

Just a few kilometres from Jena city centre, the fjord landscape of the Saale valley with its karstic shell limestone slopes, deciduous forests and gently undulating meadows invites you to go hiking or cycling. The Feuer & Flamme holiday home in the centre of the Kunitz district of Jena is as imaginative as nature itself. The aim of the conversion of the centrally located former local fire brigade building was also to make it visible again in the townscape. Instead of the original pitched roof, two striking black bonnets now rise into the sky, while the structure visible on the outside alludes to the typical regional half-timbering. The sculptural building is orientated towards the former gateways and opens up to the south on the ground floor with large, wide windows. Even from the outside, the black and blue roof truss forms an exciting contrast to the regionally typical, solid natural stone masonry, which is continued inside with bricks and exposed screed.

The interior design is based on the idea of a stage for all kinds of activities and is characterised by large, colourful and detailed furniture as well as the two skylights, which are reminiscent of the two former chimney flues of the fire station. On the ground floor, there is a spacious room where you can cook, eat and relax together in front of the fireplace. If desired, this can also be done in a playful way, as the entire interior is also duplicated to match the duality of the two roof bonnets – from the two leather sofas to the bright red tables and the mobile cookers, which can be arranged like Japanese chariots for cooking competitions. The atmospheric background is provided by wooden surfaces and built-in cupboards inspired by Japanese woodblock prints of the world’s oldest professional fire brigade. Those who prefer a quieter atmosphere, also in terms of colour, can retreat to the deep windowsill and enjoy the evening sun over the valley. All the furniture, lights and curtains were designed especially for the house.

The huge room furniture leads to a mezzanine floor with bathroom and stairs. There is also a small gallery where you can read or spend the night. The double bedroom is located in the attic with its carpentry construction, which creates a pleasant atmosphere with its varnished wooden surfaces. An extension of the staircase leads to the blue balcony with far-reaching views. This is also a counterpart to the red terrace in the courtyard below. Seating, deckchairs and, of course, a fire bowl await you here. Hot or cold, as the case may be.

What to do

Cycling on the Saale cycle path, hiking on the Saalehorizontale (Germany's most beautiful hiking trail 2023) or in the vineyards, boat trips on the Saale, playground and sports field with table tennis, volleyball, badminton, basketball (equipment available) , cultural discovery tours through the city of light Jena - from Schiller's garden house to the Zeiss Planetarium to the JenTower or the KulturArena, not forgetting a walk through the Volkspark Oberaue, Jena's paradise

Wir durften Anfang Oktober 4 wunderbare Tage in diesem besonderen Haus verbringen. Für Küchenfans ist alles da was das Herz begehrt und auch sonst ist das Haus hervorragend ausgestattet. Schönste Wanderwege sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Das Haus selbst ist eine Besonderheit, der riesig hohe Wohnraum (bis in die Dachfenster) strahlt gleichzeitig Großzügigkeit und trotzdem Wohnlichkeit aus. Der Kamin erwärmt das ganze Haus. Die liebevolle Arbeit der Hausherren ist an allen Ecken und Enden zu merken. Es ist viel mehr als ein Ferienhaus.
Der Hausherr hat sich zudem liebevoll am Telefon nach dem Wohlbefinden erkundigt und wir fühlten uns aufgehoben und umsorgt. Wir kommen sicher wieder.
Ein kleiner Hinweis: Der Schlafraum befindet sich unter dem Dach und das Bad/Toilette auf der Halbetage darunter. Wer nachts zum Bad muss, muss eine Treppe bewältigen – für bewegungseingeschränkte Personen ist das wichtig zu wissen.

Katrin Faust sagt:

Tolle und ganz spezielle Unterkunft. Der Wohnbereich unten ist der Wahnsinn, wir haben als Gruppe eine schöne Zeit verbracht.

Jannis Pfeifer sagt:

Die Wohnung ist einzigartig. Super durchdachtes Konzept. Gut umgesetzt und voller kleiner Details, die einen wieder und wieder ins Staunen versetzen. Genial für kleine Gruppen oder zu zweit.

Frängi sagt:

Wir haben ein Nacht in diesem tollen Haus verbracht und wir waren von Minute Eins verliebt. Hier wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail, tollen Materialien und einem durchdachten Konzept ein echter Wohntraum geschaffen. Die hohe Decke des Wohnbereichs und die riesigen Fenster werden mir noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Ich bin Fan und komme auf jeden Fall wieder.
