Overview

  • Discover the fascinating dual identity of a city that rose from the ashes. Pforzheim was almost completely destroyed in 1945, but instead of looking back, the city dared to take a brave step into the future. On this visually impressive and deeply nostalgic tour, you explore the cool, functionalist beauty of the modernist architecture of the 1950s and experience how it seamlessly meets the lush, ancient river valleys of the Black Forest. Join us and discover a storey of radical urban redesign, profound resilience, and the delicate balance between concrete and nature.
