Guided Story
Imagine standing on historic ground, founded in 1934. This site was once a military garrison for the US forces in Augsburg's Pfersee district. In 1998, the troops left, and by 2006, the transformation into a modern urban area had begun. Today, as you walk through Sheridan Park, spanning around 70 hectares, you experience a space for both leisure and urban life. Look northwest, and you'll spot the Apostelin-Junia Church, just about 154 meters away. This park beautifully shows how urban spaces can be repurposed, inviting you to explore the blend of history and modernity.
