Most of the houses have been renovated in recent years. The quarter has got a modern shopping mall and tram connection. Anyway, the atmosphere is still somehow depressing, even on a bright sunny spring day with the pink cherry trees in bloom.
The little protestant church and community centre, built in 1982, almost disappears among the surrounding multi-storey houses. According to the parish's website, it want s to be "the Lord's modest hut among His people." This is one of the few new churches that could be built after a change in GDR politics towards the Churches in the late 70s. The bell tower, however, has only been added in 2005.
