Pestalozzidorf „Im Grund“
Pestalozzidorf „Im Grund“, Intentional community in Katernberg, Germany.
The Pestalozzidorf Im Grund consists of 15 twin houses with large gardens, forming a residential settlement within the Zollverein Industrial Cultural Landscape.
Founded between 1953 and 1955, this community provided housing and education for young apprentices during Germany's industrial period in the Ruhr region.
