Guided Story

Imagine standing here in the 1950s, when the first residents moved in. Look around; the buildings tell stories of post-war optimism and a dream for a better life. To your right, you can see the lush green spaces that Hans Bernhard Reichow carefully integrated into his plans. These weren't just for leisure; they were social hubs too. Behind you, to the south, is the Erlöserkirche Farmsen, a central place for community gatherings and celebrations. If you look up, notice the unique roof designs, crafted to capture the light just right. Walking through here feels like a journey back in time, where you can sense the vision of a more livable city.
