Guided Story
Take a moment to notice how this area blends leisure with nature. The transformation of this former island into a recreational haven was crafted by architect Gottfried Kühn and his team. Between 1974 and 1978, a marina was added, breathing life into the silted branch of the Rhine. To your southeast, about 290 meters away, lies the St. Michael church. Groov exemplifies how urban spaces can be reimagined, offering both relaxation and a glimpse into history.
