Gießen's 'ELEFANTASTIC' Summer Event: Celebrating History, Creativity, and Community
Gießen is set to host a unique and exciting event this summer, thanks to its economic development initiative. The project, titled 'ELEFANTASTIC', has received funding from the Hessian competition 'In the middle - Bring life to the city'.
The 'ELEFANTASTIC' action will centre around the historic Elephant Toilet, a local landmark that will serve as the hub for various events. This iconic structure was once part of the Elephant Square, which in the late 19th century, hosted exotic animals, including elephants.
Visitors can expect a colourful atmosphere, with T-shirts featuring the elephant toilet motif available for purchase at 14.95 € each. The Tourist Information will provide free information about events, attractions, and leisure activities, ensuring everyone can make the most of their visit.
The 'Gießen is ELEFANTASTIC because...' campaign aims to promote inner-city activities, creativity, quality of stay, and community engagement. This summer's event is just one example of how Gießen is embracing its unique history and culture to create vibrant experiences for residents and visitors alike.
The 'ELEFANTASTIC' action promises to be a highlight of Gießen's summer calendar. With its focus on creativity, community, and historic charm, it's an event not to be missed. And who knows, you might even see an elephant or two pulling rickshaws through the streets!
