The Experience

Leave behind the iron gates of the industrial past of the Ruhr area and discover a hidden utopia. This captivating walk through the garden city of Hassel shows how visionary architecture, curved streets, and deep green gardens were used as a psychological remedy for the hard, dark life of the miners. Accompany a city planner and a local resident on their journey of discovery through the fascinating, multifaceted, and sometimes patronizing history of a neighborhood built to save the human soul from the machine.
