Auto-translated to English by AII'm not from Brakkenstein myself, but I'm walking through this neighbourhood for half a year for school. During our research, we made contact with Brakkenstein residents and businesses located in Brakkenstein. We experienced this positively; the people are friendly and happy to chat. They are interested and willing to cooperate! Many activities are organised for the Brakkenstein residents. Many of these are well attended, which can lead to more connection within the Brakkenstein neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood in itself, unfortunately not when it comes to hygiene. Many different people live here, not all of whom handle waste neatly. In addition, the provision of waste bins is unfortunately not well organised. As a result, there is always rubbish and mess in the street. The location is really perfect! And personally, I am very happy with my little house.
