Fountain festival returns to Alte Heimat estate after eight-year break

The traditional fountain festival at the Alte Heimat, a city-owned housing estate in Munich, was scheduled to take place on 16 October at 2pm on the square in front of the neighbourhood meeting place at Kiem-Pauli-Weg 26/30. It is the first time in eight years that the festival has been held.

The event marks the return of the estate's restored fountain and the completion of an extensive modernisation of the housing estate.

Münchner Wohnen carried out the renovation on behalf of the city's Municipal Department and also added new buildings to the estate.

At the invitation of Münchner Wohnen, Mayor Verena Dietl and the head of the Municipal Department, Dr Alexander Dietrich, were due to attend the festival and give welcoming speeches.

Alongside a number of speeches, the programme was set to include an opportunity to talk with residents of the Alte Heimat.
