DAMPFI
Eine kleine alte Lokomotive aus der Industriezeit
About this Tour
Over 100 years ago, steam engines thundered across the railway viaduct in the industrial quarter. Today, the 40 brick arches house shops, restaurants and a market hall! The little locomotive DAMPFI shows you around the old neighbourhood and has hidden a puzzle in each arch. From the market hall to the Josefwiese park to the Turbinenplatz — discover how factories became cultural spaces!
