59075 Hamm: In the ecological building area "Hoher Weg" in Hamm-Heessen, 120 residential units were built in the 90s on an area of approx. 3 ha. To date (as of 10/2019), it is the second largest timber housing estate in NRW. Together with the wooden housing estate "Heinrichstraße" in Hamm, these were the first larger housing estate projects in Hamm to be planned from the outset with primarily ecological aspects in mind and thus had a model function for the ecological orientation of future building areas in the urban area of Hamm.
