Hille Tieden
Coming from the past, our "deeds for tomorrow" will preserve crafts and a unique product on a regional level, tell the story of sustainability, create identity and pass on values, aspirations and attitudes to our landscape, region and life in it.
Landschaft
Diverse blues, shining silvers, restrained greens and above all the wide summer sky over the Baltic Sea. The landscapes along the Greifswald Bodden are a mirror of the cultural region.
Story

The origins of the carpet trade on the Greifswalder Bodden lie in a three-year fishing ban on herring, the bread fish of the fishermen near the coast, at the end of the 1920s. After alternative sources of income such as asparagus cultivation or chicken farming were discarded, carpet weaving came into focus - following the existing skills of knotting nets.

People
The history of the fishermen's carpets is carried and retold by many actors, yesterday as well as today. The small coastal fishermen from Freest are just as responsible for maintaining an identity-forming cultural asset as the old, few weavers from Kröslin and Spandowerhagen, the custody in Greifswald and the local history museum in Freest with their extensive fishing carpet collections.
About us
For us, Hille Tieden is both an aspiration and a mission and thus the name of our initiative, which was started in 2019 by Sebastian Schmidt and Gertrud Fahr and is now a group of people and colleagues with a soft spot for culture and nature, for water and wool, for design and public spirit and the development of a local and sustainable value chain.
