By implementing a uniform pavement, the Schillerplatz will be perceived as a cohesive space once again. This creates a seamless environment, maintaining necessary accessibility through simplified topography.
Together with the existing historical fountain, ‘Lebensfreude,’ a new focal point for the city center is established. A designated central area is clearly defined outside pedestrian paths, creating a multifunctional space suitable for communication, play, or social gatherings.
Additionally, a green inlet located centrally offers a tree-shaded lawn area. The gently sloped inlet is functionally integrated to harmonize with the plaza’s topography. Varied elevations are addressed through stairs and barrier-free access to the Schillerplatz and surrounding buildings. The integration of new green elements serves to break up the heavily sealed area, reintroducing nature into the city.
Rainwater is harvested on-site for plant use, with excess stored and gradually released into the sewer system.
