Find out more about the visionary ideas of the founder and our work today at the Visitors' Centre. The Children's Village warmly welcomes you and your family!
The exhibition on two floors is dedicated to the establishment and development of the Children's Village and the impressive stories of the Village children of yesterday and today. From the laying of the foundation stones of the first houses to the opening of our own post office. Listen to the fascinating stories of thousands of children who lived in Trogen for a shorter or longer period. There is a play area for the children in the cafeteria, and in summer they can enjoy themselves on the playground next to the terrace.
