|
|

We are a community of different shops in the “Alten Bergstraße”, located in “Landsberg am Lech”, which are carrying out high level
exhibitions. It is our ambition, to animate the unique historic site of the road, the quarter and even the city of Landsberg with its incomparability and multiplicity, and to present it in an artistic, open flair
which goes beyond the conventional.
Thereby each respective topic becomes realized formatively in the community (road) and individually (each individual shop) and thus on very different way. An
accompanying program offers the possibility to each visitor, to go on a discovery journey in the “Alten Bergstraße”.
