Tactile model of Halle (Saale)
A haptic relief of the old town
In the centre of the Marketplace, at the foot of the Red Tower, there is a bronze tactile model of the old town. The ring roads (Hansering, Universitätsring, Moritzburgring, Hallorenring and Weisenhausring) delimit the section of the tactile model. The model is depicted on a scale of 1:500 and provides an overview of the compact city centre with its most important sights. The haptic relief is primarily aimed at visually impaired people and is labelled with Braille at the most important squares and streets. However, it is also intended to be a place of encounter and is also intended as an offer for tourists who want to find their way around the historic city centre. Families with children will also have a great time "feeling" the city.
Marketplace, At the foot of the Red Tower, 06108 Halle (Saale)

It was realised with the help of a grant from the state of Saxony-Anhalt to implement the state action plan "einfach machen - Unser Weg in eine inklusive Gesellschaft". The model was created by sculptor Egbert Broerken, who has already created over 80 models in Germany.
