How residents experience their district
Well, I've lived there for a very long time, but a lot of people come upstairs who walk around. There was once a boy who came with a weapon and started shooting at us while we were playing outside, and my old neighbour who lives next to me was shot dead, so it is unsafe and there are rats.

How residents experience their municipality
We lived here very pleasantly for 23 years and because our house became too big for us, given our age, we bought a smaller home. This neighbourhood is characterised by a number of favourable factors: little turnover of residents, people are quite neighbourhood-minded and have excellent contacts with each other. Helpful, annual neighbourhood BBQ, quiet surroundings with plenty of greenery. Schools within walking distance, station and buses likewise as well as shops. Within five minutes you are on the motorway and with the A6 and A27 around the corner you can reach all directions. If someone were to ask me whether it's nice to live here, I would answer without hesitation with a firm YES.
