partly single-storey angle houses with flat gable roof (grass roof),
Outbuildings partly grass roof (rating: but too steep roof pitch !)
Energy large solar project; solar systems architecturally well integrated into roof surfaces; collector surface 3,000 sqm; long-term heat storage with 4,500 cubic metres for 130 residential units (14,500 sqm living space); solar coverage approx. 49%, rest is covered by combined heat and power plant
Sewage Technology roadside stormwater ditches; retention basin (north of Braamwisch)
Free space
Garden private, single, partly without separation between neighbours
Playground large children's playground in the eastern part of the settlement; sand play area above the heat reservoir; modelled area at the edge
