House Rules for Schönburn 2021

The most important “rules” are the 10 Principles of Burning Man + Consent, as well as the White Canvas principles, as well as the health precautions that are necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition we need to set some common house rules to ensure that the burn runs pleasantly for ALL participants as well as the organisers who take responsibility.

No Outdoor Shoes Inside the Castle We must ask you to take off your outdoor shoes when you enter the castle.

Last year especially the lobby areas and adjacent bathrooms of the castle were often a terrible muddy mess, only mitigated by a few of us taking on the burden of cleaning after others.

Although we are aware this is slightly inconvenient, we do firmly believe it will make the castle so much nicer us all that it simply is worth it. To make this easier for you, please consider bringing a shoe bag and house shoes / slippers, or use plastic shoe protectors.

No dogs

Please leave your furry friend at home for their own sake, and the sake of all of your fellow burners.

Leave No Trace

Remember that Leave No Trace is an important principle.

This does not just mean leaving the grounds sparkling clean when we depart, but requires an ongoing responsibility and vigilance from all participants to clean any MOOP they find.

No Smoking Inside

There is strictly no smoking indoors, but plenty of space outside in the yards to satisfy your needs. Some of us also find vaporizers in small enclosed spaces unpleasant, so please be considerate and take them outside.

Sound Policy

No music shall be played in the camping grounds (day or night). No loud music outdoors after 22.

While we all love music, noise levels can be an issue at the camping grounds, which means that we need to be very much aware how loud we are in places where others wish to sleep. Furthermore, the Böllerhof has neighbors whose peace we must respect at night.

Please respect your fellow burners and follow our sound policy, or prepare to be spanked into silence by the Lady/Lord of the Castle or our rangers.

Photo Policy

It’s not allowed to take photos or film people without consent. We consider it every individual’s right to control their own image. Schönburn is a safe zone, where participants feel safe to do what they like and be what they want to be without the fear of having their every action being posted online.

Always ask when you take a photo or film someone. Ask before you make that photo or video public. No commercial use.

Placing your tent

Only place your tent on open lawn, do not place your tent under a tree as branches can fall off the tree and kill you.

Outside, you must place your tent in the designated tenting areas.

When you enter into the park, the first area goes along the left castle wall: around the outside toilets, around the badminton field, left of the soccer field. you can place your tent up to the first “large tree”, and then along the line that the trees build. We want to keep the “central lawn” clear of tents.

The second area is at the whole upper end of the lawn, behind the soccer field. It is the line “opposite” of the castle. The first and second areas are connected like an “L”.

Do not place anything (tent or art) on the soccerfield. The lawn is holy ground there for the sports-people.

There are three parking places. Fill them up in this order (only park your car in 2 or 3 once 1 is full):

  • Open the maps at venue to know where Parking 1,2, and 3 are.
  • Parking 1: Our main parking next to the castle. Drive in directly from the main road via from GATE 2.
  • Parking 2: In the courtyard, along the castle wall. Park side-by-side. Probably will be filled during build.
  • Parking 3: Directly in front of the main entrance of the castle (when you enter, left). Mainly for temporary parking (unloading) and the cars of core organizers and artists who need accessible storage for their project.

We recommend to write your name & phone number on a sheet of paper and leave it in the car in case your car is blocking and needs to be moved.
