The area around the central station is not one of the most beautiful places in most German cities. This was is different in Bielefeld. However, the factories and commercial areas that once lay here have now disappeared and step by step the areas are being put to new uses. In Bielefeld, a new office quarter has been created directly at the railway embankment. I find it difficult today to assess how the area will be perceived in a few decades. Even if the buildings differ in details, you can see very clearly that they were all built in the same architectural style. It all seems somewhat sterile and artificial. And because there are almost no shops, the area is deserted after office hours and on weekends.
