A little story about Anna Fleuth

We are "Anna Fleuth", a family business that has been running a small but fine natural campsite in Kevelaer-Winnekendonk on the left side of the Lower Rhine since 2010. The expression "Anna Fleuth" means something like 'on the Fleuth' in the colloquial language of the Lower Rhine. What is meant is the small river Issumer Fleuth, on which the campsite is located.

The core of the Anna Fleuth team consists of the grandparents Maria and Ludger, the second generation, Daniel, Helen, Fredda, Christian, Meike and the youngest offspring Robin and Nico.

Maria, the operator and boss, is a trained educator and systemic consultant as well as the mother of four children. She brings her social skills and friendly nature to the company and, as a long-time employee of Lebenshilfe and herself the mother of a disabled daughter, has particular experience in dealing with people with disabilities.

"Grandpa Ludger" is more of the maker in the background. As a bricklayer and architect, his strengths lie in preparing the space and the facilities in such a way that everything "fits, doesn't wobble and looks like something!" Hours at night fall victim to brooding. But it's worth it, as the willing visitor can see from our "Gesamtkunstwerk Zeltplatz Anna Fleuth".

Daniel, son of Maria and Ludger, is as close as you can get to a groundskeeper. He helps out with everything, loves spending time at the campsite and looks after the guests and the administration. As a musician and a graduate in ethnomusicology, he is always delighted to welcome musicians and artists – both professional and amateur – who enrich the campsite with their presence and their art. He himself runs wild vegetable workshops at the campsite. He spends his breaks in his converted radio van or practising Tai Chi by Lake Anna. You can see what else he gets up to here on Daniel’s website - Natur, Klang, Körper.

Helen, Daniel's partner, is always on hand with advice and helps out in the kiosk at weekends and on public holidays when there is a lot to do on the pitch.

Frederike aka Fredda is Daniel's sister, a qualified horse farmer and event/marketing specialist. She works as a freelance artist for her small business FreddArt Streetpainting, painting streets and walls with chalk and acrylic paints and organizing street art events. Fredda's homepage illustrates her work very well. She supports the campsite in word and deed and as and when she has time.

Christian, Daniel's brother, painted the construction trailer and helps out with campground events, for example. He works as a teacher in Wuppertal and is therefore rarely in the Lower Rhine.

Meike is Maria and Ludger's second daughter, mentally disabled and autistic. She lives in Kapellen in the St. Bernhardin residential home and visits us regularly. When Meike parades around the square with her various paraphernalia (ribbons, cards, strings...), children in particular are amazed at her special appearance.

Robin, son of Helen and Daniel, is now helping out on the pitch and in the garden and Nico, his brother, is already sitting behind the kiosk window.

Jani and Mara have been helping us clean the sanitary building since 2026.

Furthermore, we receive support from nature and adventure educators as well as friends, acquaintances and relatives.
