Altstadt (Old town) was the old center of Gießen, Hesse, Germany. It consisted of many timber framed buildings mixed with historicist styles (Neo baroque, neo gothic etc. called "Gründerzeit". . . The town church was located in the center of it, it was the core of the city until the bombing raids of the 6-11th december 1944. In these nights the city was demolished piece by piece turning the crowded old town into an inferno. Since then almost nothing has been left of that period today. Terror bombings along with merciless Modernization having the "Automotive City" in mind, turned it into what it is now.

The old town does not exist anymore. The area that used to be called the old town is today called "Innenstadt" (Inner city) which is connected with the new town area) it is still the center of Gießen but has lost all its charme.

Finally downloadable the map contains aorund 300 buildings and my custom texturepack.

I hope you enjoy i will later work on the other districts of the city but for now the old town area is finished.
(some streets are cut off, these are streets that lead into the new town area but were behind the former city walls, therefore do not belong to the old town)


I build this alone, after this another project will follow.

The old town contains 10 Special buildings which are listed here:




Stadtkirche
Rathaus
Altes Schloss
Zum Löwen
Markt 11
Weiselsches Haus
Wallenfels'sches Haus
Leib'sches Haus
Feuerwache
