Parkstadt Bogenhausen: Bürgerpark Bogenhausen

The Bürgerpark is a creative enclave in a green setting, housed in former military and hospital buildings. Artists’ studios, cultural groups, workshops and informal open spaces give the area an alternative community atmosphere. Former military and hospital buildings now contain artists’ studios, cultural groups and workshops; informal outdoor areas reinforce the alternative, community-led atmosphere. The conversion of former military land is part of the area’s identity: retained barracks or institutional structures stand beside new housing, schools and public spaces. The institution is not an isolated object: opening hours, deliveries and flows of employees or visitors shape surrounding streets and public spaces throughout the day. Opening hours, performances, exhibitions or public events bring changing groups of visitors into the area and create activity beyond the routines of local residents.
