Overview

  • Every spring, a quiet working-class district in Bonn transforms into a world-viral, pink dreamscape. But this spectacular cherry blossom roof was no happy accident – it was a radical urban experiment from the 1980s that was supposed to save a struggling area. Accompany a city planner and a local historian on a visually stunning and magical journey through the old town. You will discover the poetic genius of the staggered blooming seasons, the surreal reality of children going to school in the middle of an Instagram hotspot, and how a city that lost its status as a political capital accidentally developed a new global identity.
