We will organize the basic infrastructure like power, internet, a bar, several food stalls, and beautiful illumination. Everything else is in your hands - so bring your camping gear, gadgets, Go boards, webapps, p2p-simulators, knitted hardware protectors, drones, lockpicking sets and whatever else you need for some days in the big room with the blue ceiling. Respect Ziegelei property and equipment, remember we may want to come back here next time.

There is also a collection of several points of interest, aka infra/resources/shopping.

See also the Map.

The nearby town Zehdenick provides infrastructure like several ATM, Gas Stations, supermarkets and a rather big Hardware Store (read: Hardware as in wood, nails and camping equipment, not as in motherboard).
