Intro
The Merker-Areal, where washing machines and household appliances were once manufactured, has been turned into an attractive working and residential area. Instead of putting up a new construction, the original factory structure, with its valued industrial, cultural and historical associations, was preserved.
Today, tenants from diverse sectors occupy this former factory property. The "Yellow Square" has become an urban microcosm, a centre for architecture, art, communications and services. Various cultural institutions are represented, such as the Figura Theatre Festival and the International Festival of Animated Film Fantoche, who turn the area into a festival hotspot. This former dispatch building has been converted into a unique restaurant, and with the Stanzerei the area has a special local culture. Beat Zoderer has brought the spacious area of the inner courtyard to life by laying down a colourful "woven carpet".
