Im Landwirtschaftlichen Kurs, gehalten in Koberwitz im Jahr 1924, verwendete Rudolf Steiner für den Hof den Begriff des «lebendigen Organismus». Obwohl dies schon 100 Jahre zurückliegt, hat die Notwendigkeit, diesen Begriff in der Praxis zu verwirklichen, immer grössere Bedeutung erlangt und wurde nie vorher so dringend aktuell wie jetzt. Dieser Aufsatz versucht diesen Begriff mithilfe der modernen Biologie zu beleuchten und anhand eines Beispiels eines Demeter-Hofes in Slowenien auf einige damit verbundene wichtige Aspekte hinzuweisen. Neue Ansätze in der organismischen Biologie können mehrere Merkmale eines lebendigen Organismus aufzählen und beschreiben, die sich nicht auf anorganische Prinzipien reduzieren lassen. Für den Hof sind aber diese Merkmale nicht wie bei Pflanze, Tier oder Mensch schon gegeben, sondern sie stellen ideale Eigenschaften dar, deren Verwirklichung der Mensch als Gestalter der Prozesse am Hof erst schaffen muss.
N1 -Developing a farm as a “living organism” is an important concept in the Agricultural Course that Rudolf Steiner gave in Koberwitz in 1924. Although that was 100 years ago, the need to put this concept into practice is becoming increasingly important and has never been as urgent as it is now. This article attempts to shed light on this idea using concepts of modern biology and to point out some related important aspects of it using the example of a Demeter farm in Slovenia. New approaches in organismic biology can identify and describe more and more characteristics of a living organism that cannot be reduced to inorganic principles. For the farm, however, these characteristics are not already present, as is the case with plants, animals or humans, but rather represent ideals that must first be created by the human being, as a designer of the processes on the farm.
