Weberstrasse

Use the digital loom to create an impenetrable web of yarn and revive the craft tradition of the street.

Background information

Weberstraße was established in 1700 as a settlement for linen weavers. Franz-Ernst von Platen, who had been elevated to the rank of count, encouraged the settlement of linen weavers on the street, which at the time was part of the grounds of Linden Castle. Among the historic buildings along this traffic-calmed street are a former trade school and Linden’s oldest residential houses.
