Dared and won - this is now the prevalent opinion of the experiment's result. The Behnisch House, situated between Ostwall and Königsstraße with its cafes, restaurants and shops has become an attractive meeting point in the city centre.

Apart from cafes and restaurants there are shops for interior, art and design in and around the Behnisch House. The close proximity to the Königstraße with its numerous designer shops makes this part of the city centre very attractive.
