Bülowviertel

The Bülowviertel in Leipzig Volkmarsdorf is the best example of what can happen when the residents of a city take the design of their district into their own hands. The beautiful Wilhelminian architecture was threatened with decay for a long time. In 2009, the Bülowviertel eV association was founded, which works together with the residents to make the district livable and to save the old buildings. The project succeeds thanks to unusual concepts such as cooperative models, studios or project houses. The Bülowviertel is particularly popular with young families and students, which is why it is one of Leipzig's youngest districts. The sense of community and the creative ideas make this little spot in the east of Leipzig so special. This is celebrated, among other things, at the annual Bülow STREET MUSIC festival.
