Katernberg blitzt auf! Neighbourhood open day
- Performance At different locations throughout Essen-Katernberg
- Sat 09.09.17 12 h – 18 h
For the third year running, a host of local institutions, social groups, organizations, places of worship, surgeries, cafes, shops and private households throughout Katernberg are opening their doors to the immediate community and interested visitors. Aimed at heightening the visibility and awareness of cultural and social opportunities and activities in the district of Katernberg, this unique communal project offers fun opportunities to explore both familiar and unexpected facets of local life and gain a greater appreciation of the neighbourhood’s cultural diversity. This year visitors are especially welcome to drop by the WerkStadt, the new PACT led community space in Viktoriastr. 5, where we’ll be serving snacks and homemade lemonade and holding a treasure hunt!
All of the locations taking part on the day can be discovered by foot or bike (available free of charge) either independently or on suggested routes of special interest.
