Overview
- Karls confirmed a mobile “Erlebnisdorf light” for Wernigerode that opens in May, with a preview day for local residents followed by general admission.
- The pop-up covers up to three hectares and will offer rides and games including a tractor railway, a strawberry caterpillar coaster, a potato-sack slide and a corn maze.
- Company leaders and local officials say the live setup will let them measure traffic, noise and crowd movement so they can tweak layouts, hours and the ride mix.
- All elements are temporary and will be taken down by October 31 to clear the site for building once the zoning plan is completed.
- Karls is targeting a spring 2028 opening for the permanent park, projects more than 200 jobs, and says it would be the first site of its kind in Saxony-Anhalt.
