In 2003, Dr. Damian Urban, a surgeon from Linz with Bulgarian roots, suggested to Linz’s Mayor Franz Dobusch that friendship projects be developed with Lom, a town on the Danube. The following year, Mayor Penka Penkova visited the Brucknerfest for the first time together with a delegation of town councillors and business executives. It was agreed that the cooperation would put culture and community development at the top of its agenda. During a return visit to Lom in 2005, these ideas were concretized and extended to include a focus on flood protection. GANGARTEN is the first cultural project to be realized as part of this town friendship. (Oliver Theusl, town twinning coordinator, city of Linz)
Dunavska Street [Danube Street] climbs vertically from the banks of the Danube and ends at the main square, Svoboda [freedom]. Most of the route is a pedestrian zone, though it’s fairly easy to recognize that there once was a thoroughfare here.
The entire centre of town radiates calm. Few or no cars can be heard, soft music emanates now and then from the pubs and restaurants. By day the square and the pedestrian zone are full of voices and the sounds of footsteps, at night dogs and birds call the tune.
