Back to the city of the future. The 1950s to 1970s were a time of upswing in the Ruhr, but also in many other cities and regions of Europe, characterized by a spirit of innovation and a willingness to experiment. As part of the project "Goodbye Utopia" students of the TU Berlin design and realize a built communication platform within sight of Finnstadt and Habiflex.

On a large lawn on Dimker Allee, the former site of the Marschall construction group within sight of Finnstadt and Habiflex, the building will serve for a week as a temporary venue, meeting place and starting point for expeditions to the old "New Town of Wulfen". The pavilion contains a sound installation by Lisa Danulat and Michael Graessner, which collages fragments of the history of the city's origins.
