With an independent village center above the Vechtetals is residential development of Without, unlike in the other rural communities, not marked by scattered sites, but by an accumulation of settlements and buildings. Even the fantastic single vineyard farms still have a relatively close proximity to the village location with church, play group and other typical village facilities.

The place continues to meet transport functions. The lanes are paved with natural stones, the parking areas with red brick pavers. For the facades of adjacent buildings uniformly red brick or red brick veneer were used.

The local church is uncharacteristically not right on the square, but in the second row.
