Wall Arts, artistically designed house facades and rustic lampshades! Mönchengladbach’s old town is a colourful quarter, characterised by the charm of historical walls, the #waldhausener party mile and the Alter Markt with direct access to the Hindenburgstraße shopping mile. Many initiatives and socio-cultural projects have made the Old Town a place that stands for individualism, art and cultural diversity. The relaxed atmosphere during the day in the many street cafés or at the large farmer’s market held on Saturdays, transforms into party life at night in the many clubs and bars. There’s a lot going on here – and because everything is within walking distance, you can experience a lot. #altstadtmg #deinmg

Initiative Altstadt
In the “Altstadt Initative”, the various interest groups represented in the Old Town find their own platform for discussion. Here, perspectives are developed to revitalise the Old Town as a neighbourhood and to maintain its individual character. Joint activities and events are also conceived and organised here, such as the Old Town Flea Market, which takes place twice a year. Here you can find unique knick-knacks and wondrous treasures such as finest delicacies for the ears made of real vinyl or fancy retro furniture. The summer festival with music and food stands is also a highlight in the Old Town events calendar with many activities for the whole family.
More about the Initiative Altstadt can be found here.
