Students, families and newcomers value the good connections, the affordable locations and the busy everyday life.

The Bilker Allee is the busy main artery of the quarter, with shops, cafés, snack bars and eateries from many countries of origin. The large weekly market on Aachener Platz is one of the most popular in the city and supplies the quarter with fresh produce.
