Our Vision for the Future
We are delighted to present you this wonderfully versatile place in Deutsch-Weisskirch / Viscri. This house is the estate of our Markel family since 1841 and has been a place for people to connect to each other by living and listening to each other, learning and being influenced by each other. This used to be our family related community spirit of the past. Now we want to widen this community spirit using our estate as a platform not just for the current family members but also for our friends and new guests who would like to participate in our journey in exchanging their ideas and thoughts at various events we are going to offer.
We want to call our community spirit Colligere because it stands for connecting, centre oneself and resting.
Both Colligere and 1841 designed together will result in Colligere1841 and will be our brand that offers you a generous and restful venue to connect people around the world for various occasions and for this we believe our estate provides many ways to achieve this brilliantly.
Please, enjoy the virtual visit of colligere1841 and of course you are welcome to pay us a visit to our estate.

Past & Present
Past
On this page we can only show you a brief overview about the past 70 years of our house. We do not have much photographs with family members being at our estate. This is a selection of what we think are the most important photographs.
Sara Markel (geb. Dootz) and Michael Markel
The house was inhabited permanently until 1991 by Sara Markel and her husband Michael Markel. They married 1932 in Deutsch-Weisskirch and lived in this house ever since. Their children are: Adele, Rosi, Katharina, Erika and the youngest, a son, Eduard.
The Family
In our recent family history there were two weddings that took place at our house. Both weddings were in November 1954 with one week apart. As the tradition goes in those days the parents organise the wedding. First wedding was with Adele Markel, married to Hans Gross.
On the photograph are (left to right): The boy, Eduard Markel (1951-2019), Michael Markel (1906-1995), Adi Gross (born 1932), Johann (alias Hans) Gross (1927 – 1994), Rosi Markel (born 1933) – Hans Markel (1927 – 2022) and Sara Markel (1906-2001), wife of Michael Markel.
