Wikipedia has some general information on
Schloß Elmau itself; this page is primarily here for the sake of ex-Helfer(innen), to enable them to reminisce and maybe get back in touch with old friends.
The photos of Elmau in 1980-85 which were on my site are all now on
Flickr, so anyone can add their own pictures. There are dozens of pictures on
Marco Schipper's site too. I'd also recommend checking out the
Yahoo Group; more recent Helfer/Helferin might also be interested in the
Facebook group or the Dutch "
Hyve".
This list is based on my own memories, and correspondence with others in the years since I was there. I used to include email addresses, but these changed so often I've now removed them. Those who have since married are shown with their maiden names. If you see someone here you'd like to contact, asking on the Yahoo Group is probably the best way. If you can supply some other names (or dates) currently missing, please let me know directly.

Those listed here did generally not overlap with those above - so I assume they were probably at Elmau from later 1984 onwards.
