The Gnadenbrothof Ziegenhain in Ersfeld is an animal sanctuary that depends almost entirely on voluntary work and donations to care for its many rescued animals.
People who volunteer there usually help with feeding, cleaning stables, maintaining enclosures, or simply giving attention to animals that have been neglected or are too old or ill to live elsewhere. The work can be physically demanding and often takes place outdoors, but itâs meaningful for those who want to contribute directly to animal welfare.
Volunteers are also needed for tasks beyond animal care, such as cleaning indoor areas, repairing fences, or supporting small renovation projects around the property. The farm often welcomes both regular, long-term helpers and people who come for shorter periods or single workdays. Because the animals depend on consistent care, reliability is highly valued, and being able to communicate in German is very helpful for following feeding or medical instructions.
Most of the volunteer coordination is handled directly by the association that runs the Gnadenbrothof.
