Former keeper's lodge in Munich's Bavariapark to open as learning space for young people

A listed former keeper's lodge in the Bavariapark, at Theresienhöhe 22, is to become a place where children and young people can learn and meet. Its opening was scheduled for 15 October at 4.30pm, with Mayor Verena Dietl giving a welcoming address.

The building, known as the "wärter_häuschen" (keeper's lodge), is owned by the city, which has granted the use of it under a long-term building lease. The Edith Haberland Wagner Foundation paid for the extensive renovation of the listed building and for its new fittings.

The lodge will be run by the InitiativGruppe, a registered association for intercultural exchange and education. Its programme carries the title "A place for the future: sustainable and fair".

Children and young people will be able to experience nature, garden and cook together, and develop ideas for a future that is socially and environmentally sustainable. They will also help to shape the programme and the design of the lodge themselves.
