Detmerode audio walk
Fifty years after it was founded, the once young district of Detmerode is getting on in years. What goals did the town planners have back then? What do the people of Detmerode think about their district today?
The start and end point is at Detmeroder Markt. The round tour is divided into five sections. The entire tour takes about an hour.
The audio walk opens your eyes and ears to the urban and architectural qualities of Detmerode. The audio walk mixes historical recordings from 1963 with the views of today's residents. Two voices accompany you on your way through the district and let you take part in their conversation. It's about big ideas and small details in architecture, functional planning and the question of whether a new district can become a home....

The project "Baukultur im Ohr. An audio walk through the Wolfsburg district of Detmerode" was developed by Tonspur Stadtlandschaft, Leibniz Universität Hannover in cooperation with the Forum Architektur der Stadt Wolfsburg.
