KOLIBRIPARK

Florian Maximilian Harry Stannat

Hello, I’m Max Stannat. I’m a Christian, architect, beekeeper and emigrant.

I was born in Darmstadt in 1994. I spent part of my childhood in the Dominican Republic before returning to Germany, where I studied architecture and worked for several years in different architectural practices.

My most important professional positions include Edgar Rathjen (Architects · Building Experts · Specialist Planners) and Architekten für Nachhaltiges Bauen. I worked on projects from the initial design ideas through to construction management, gaining hands-on experience in various areas of planning and building.

I was a registered member of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects. After several years of professional experience in Germany, I decided to return permanently to the Dominican Republic. Today I develop my own projects here and help others realize their plans for living and building in the Caribbean.

I now live permanently in the Dominican Republic again and, together with my father, run Kolibripark – a nature property of around 21 hectares in the mountains of Dajabón Province.

Through my company KOLIBRIPARK E.I.R.L., I assist clients with designs, visualizations and building projects. Rather than standard solutions, I look for what best fits the particular place, landscape and intended use.

Good architecture need not be as large or expensive as possible. It should fit harmoniously into its surroundings, make good use of available resources and leave a lasting impression.

I am Marco A. L. Stannat, a Christian, family man, author and emigrant.

In 1998, I emigrated to the Dominican Republic with my then four-year-old son Max. Three years later I bought the land for Kolibripark and developed it. Before that, I had worked for several years in Germany as an electrical engineer in sales for Siemens.

After arriving here, I began studying the Bible intensively. I examined many biblical subjects, compared different interpretations and checked them against Holy Scripture. At first I kept the results of these studies in written papers for my own use.

When we received our first internet connection on the property, I was able to make these findings publicly available. Since then I have published biblical studies on my website “Kolibripark Christian Mission” and in videos on the YouTube channel “Die Bibel wörtlich genommen”, and I contribute to the Telegram channel “100% Jesus Christus”.

I still live at Kolibripark and devote myself to biblical studies, which I have published in numerous PDF books. Together with other Christians, we meet regularly for home fellowship and celebrate the Lord’s Supper.

Since my son Max returned to the Dominican Republic, I have handed over responsibility for Kolibripark to him and support its further development with advice, experience and practical help.
