WHO IS
handholzwerk
Zimmerermeister Thomas Rauch.
After graduation in 2003 at the Maxim Gorki School Heringsdorf I started my carpentry training in the carpentry Matthias Hartig in Christinenhof and acquired in 2007 in front of the Chamber of Crafts Neubrandenburg my carpentry apprenticeship diploma with distinction. In this carpentry, which is located nearby Waren/Müritz in Mecklenburg I was able to learn my crafts specially in heritage conservation and renovation of churches, castles and antique houses. My experience has been marked by highly precise work, traditional wood connections, handling century-old woods, and close collaboration with experienced carpenters, restorers, conservators, and architects. These experiences have shaped me profoundly.
MY HEART ON A JOURNEY
In 2007, I decided to join the Association of "Rechtschaffene Zimmer und Schieferdeckergesellen" in Löcknitz, which is under the supervision of Altgeselle and r.frd. Tischlermeister Stefan Orschinack. From there, I embarked on a nearly four-year traditional journey around the world.
The virtues of rectitude and honor, the boundless freedom of travel, and the ongoing exploration became integral parts of my journey, allowing me to educate myself on craftsmanship and human skills. A barn renovation in Bavaria, the construction of a historical boat and restoration of a windmill head in Denmark, the conversion of a mountain cabin at 2000 meters altitude in Northern Italy, ecological timber frame constructions in Switzerland, a beach house with a palm roof on the Pacific coast of Mexico, a tropical exotic wood lounge in Thailand... These and many other projects continued to drive me and my wanderlust to other extraordinary places and introduced me to even more extraordinary people.
After many years of being away from my home, family, and friends, I returned to my hometown, Seebad Heringsdorf, on the Island of Usedom, with a joyful and warm-hearted feeling on June 11th, 2011. Influenced by the experiences of my journey and my memories of independence while traveling, I realized that only self-employment could fulfill my professional needs. Shortly after my return, I decided to attend the Master Carpentry Course at the Leistungszentrum Lüneburg. In July 2012, I obtained my title as Master of Carpentry in front of the Chamber of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Stade and then began to establish my dream:
The carpentry HandHolzWerk Insel Usedom.
