"Find out from me how you can still use ancient knowledge today and do something good for yourself, your family and the environment in the process."
– Iris von Stephanitz
Hello, I am Iris von Stephanitz ...
You can learn from me how our ancestors kept their households in good shape.
As a freelance art historian and archaeologist, I have been working for museums for over 20 years and for theatre, radio and television for 12 years. I am particularly interested in communicating traditional knowledge about living habits, nutrition and household management from the Neolithic Age to modern times.

My course programme
In my courses you can learn why bread used to keep much longer, how to make your own dairy products and how to keep your house clean with non-toxic and simple products.
Find out from me how you can still use old knowledge today and do something good for yourself, your family and the environment in the process.

Do-it-yourself recipes
From delicious cakes to environmentally friendly cleaning products - browse through my extensive collection of recipes. Make your very own products with the help of old knowledge and a little time.
This is the only way to know for sure which ingredients are really contained in the everyday products you and your family use.
