An den Eichen, Residential district in Offenbach am Main, Germany.
An den Eichen is a residential district in Offenbach am Main composed of two-story single-family houses arranged in an orderly pattern. The area includes numerous plots with enough space to accommodate hundreds of households.
The district developed from the transformation of a former problem-ridden neighborhood called Lohwald beginning in 1999. The city chose complete reconstruction to create a modern residential community.
The name refers to oak trees that once grew in this area and shaped the landscape. The housing layout creates open green spaces and streets that encourage residents to encounter each other and build community bonds.
The district is easy to navigate thanks to streets laid out in a clear pattern that helps with orientation. Visitors will find adequate sidewalks and traffic areas accessible to both pedestrians and cyclists.
The area was planned with modern infrastructure systems, including a new sewage network designed specifically for this new settlement. The entire development occurred rapidly, making it an example of quick urban growth.
