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 due to be held again for the first time in eight years on 16 October. It was set to take place at 2pm on the neighbourhood square in front of the community centre at Kiem-Pauli-Weg 26/30.

The festival 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 Dr Alexander Dietrich, head of the Municipal Department, were due to attend and give welcoming speeches.

Alongside a number of speeches, the event was to give visitors the chance to talk with residents of the Alte Heimat.
