Guided Story
Can you imagine the echoes of history within these walls? Originally built to supply water to the city, this building has undergone a remarkable transformation. Take a look around and picture how machines and workers once set the pace of life here. But then, in the mid-70s, it faced demolition. Thanks to Ingo Sommer, the head of the building authority at the time, it was preserved. Today, it's a vibrant center of creativity and interaction. If you glance to your right, you'll notice how the industrial architecture seamlessly blends with modern elements. This place isn't just a building; it's a bridge between the past and the present, inviting every visitor to experience it in their own unique way.
