Spielbudenplatz is a square located in the cen-
tre of the St. Pauli district of Hamburg. It lies at
the start of the Reeperbahn, one of the citys bu-
siest nightlife areas and the world famous red-
light district. Until 2004 the square had been ne-
glected for decades. Now it is the international
calling card of the city of Hamburg.
Brief:The international competition for the rede-
velopment of the square was launched in 2004,
with 326 works submitted. On account of the
mix of entertainment, residential and cultural fa-
cilities in the area, the Free and Hanseatic City
of Hamburg required a multifunctional space for
events, local as well as international, and a cen-
tral meeting place for the colourful district. Thus,
the brief was to create an impressive entrance
to the Reeperbahn and a landmark in the city-
scape that would attract not only locals but also
tourists from all over the world.
Design Concept:The design eventually imple-
mented was by the landscape architects Lutzow
7 with a simple yet practical concept. Their
mobile stage-like booths can create different
spaces within the unusually long square, thus
breaking with the tradition of static organisa-
tion of squares and also allow[ing] different
events to run concurrently. The two charac-

teristic steel structures, like Us ipped on their
sides, with their open faces towards each other,
can be moved on rails along the entire length of
the square, meeting at whatever point required.
Nowadays concerts, markets and cultural ga-
therings all contribute to distinguish Spielbuden-
platz as the `urban danceoor` of Hamburg.
The project itself cost approx. 4.9 million to re-
alise. Construction started in February 2005 and
the square was fully completed in June 2006.
Materials:The square is made of red asphalt.
The layered shell of the booths consists of an
inner face of semi-transparent glass, with a wo-
ven mesh of stainless steel stretched across
it.The mobile steel structures are illuminated by
thousands of LED light points. Trees are planted
in the patios either end of the square dening it
even further.

realisation of the park. An investor who bought
the building on which some of Park Fiction sits
tried to stop its development .Park Fiction was
eventually inaugurated in 2005 after many long
battles.
Park Fiction Today: Park Fiction is more than
just a park, it is more to show what communities
like the one in St. Pauli can achieve. Recently
there has been talk of re-namming the park after
Gezi Park in Istanbul, which was forcibly cleared
by police on the order of the Prime Minister. A
symbolic image from this Turkish confict was
police setting a Wishing Tree alight, shattering
the peoples dreams. After seeing this image
Park Fiction locals got together and now plan to
rename it Gezi Park Hamburg.

Birth of Park Fiction: The project known as
Park Fiction or Antonipark started in 1994 from
a residents association. They were protesting
against the re-development of a nearby site in
the St Pauli district .Instead of going through the
offcial planning and design process the resi-
dents association themselves drew up plans for
a new communal space known as Park Fiction.
This process consisted of great input from many
residents and members of the public in the area.
To encourage more people to become involved,
the process was created to be very like a game.
Someday wishes will leave the house and hit
the streets....theyll put an end to the reign of
boredom and bureaucratically managed misery

Planning Challenges: While the planning pro-
cess of Park Fiction may have been a colla-
borative effort, this did not make it any easier.
Over the years the planing team faced many
diffculties which dramatically slowed down the

Open Public Space Concept
Hafen City is Europes biggest inner city deve-
lopment. The Harbour in Hamburg was trans-
formed into residential and ofce quarters. New
functions and squares were introduced to the
area to make public surroundings in the wes-
tern part of Hafen City attractive. The interaction
with land and water can be regarded as unique.
It creates a new topographic characteristic for
an area that was once dominated by port and
industrial uses. Hafen City will have expanded
Hamburgs city centre by 40% in 2025 when it
is expected to be nished. The new city will be
comprised of a cosmopolitan mix of apartments,
businesses, culture, leisure, tourism and retail.
The idea is to dene a new city sector in both
planning and architectural terms.
Magellan Terrassen
Magellan Terrassen was the rst plaza of the
traditional port to be built. It is laid out in a series
of three levels offering an exceptional prome-
nade and plaza facing onto the port area. It is
known as the social area of Hafen City, it
hosts numerous events and activities throug-
hout the year. There is also an Amphitheatre
within this area which is used by many street
preformers and is also known to host different
stage productions and concerts. There is also a
program every month promoting creative activi-
ties for children and young people.

The Marco Polo Terraces are characterized
by three levels. The water level is constantly
changing with the different water levels at low
tide and high tide. The two lower levels are hill
shaped lawns and wooden platforms for sittng
and sunbathing areas.
Marco Polo Terraces Vasco da Gama Platz
The Vasco da Gama Platz is primarily a
recreational area. The square is the smallest
of the public places is Hafen City. It is a space
located between the water and the road on the
Dalmankai promenade. It fulls the function
of a neighbourhood place for residents, with
childrens play equipment and areas for
outdoor dining. Many of the seating areas
take into account the views from the different
levels of the space. If a person is in the higher
court area and facing north, the view they will
see is through the buildings at Sandtorkai. The
square is the smallest of the public places is
Hafencity. The square is framed by cherry
trees. It is also accessible through a ramp and
staircase to the waterfront promenade.
Sandtorpark & Grasbrookpark
Sandtorpark/Grasbrook is the second largest
neighborhood to be virtually completed. It
incudes a primary school and family housing
centered around the park making it a haven of
neighbourhood life.The key local urban
element setting the scene is the small yet
popular Sandtorpark, around which almost all
the buildings cluster. Landscaping of the green
play areas is dominated by lawns and hillocks.
Open spaces bordering it replicate the main
design elements of the Magellan Terraces,
such as the paving which proves to be a
successful device in the open space landsca-
ping concept. The Grasbrookpark was recently
nished covering 7,100 sqm

from urban vitality to waterside quietness.
Wide landscaped terraces designed for vari-
ous uses connect the three levels. Details and
choice of materials contribute to the identity and
individuality of each location. Opening onto the
neighbouring streets, they alow for unobstruc-
ted interfow between the park and the urban
surroundings.
Once the site of the Hanover railway station, a
memorial to those deported during World War II
is integrated directly into the park.
Lohsepark joins up with the wide Elbe prome-
nade and will eventually permit access to the
Entenwerder island.
The interlocking public and private spaces of
the HafenCity neighbourhood provide a dense
pedestrian and cycle network making the Loh-
separk leisure areas important destinations for
the surrounding inhabitants.

water bodies - the Elbe and the old harbor.
The concept of simple formal expression is
based on two principal interventions: visual
connectivity and staggered levels differenti-
ating spaces: city, park and historical level.
The park is open at both ends from water to wa-
ter. This axis of open space is an outstanding
spatial experience in itself, even when the ends
of the park are not directly visible to the viewer.
Over 500 newly planted trees help structure the
various atmospheres within the park, varying

The Tor zur Welt (Gateway to the World) edu-
cational centre is being established in central
Wilhelmsburg a learning city in the city. It con-
sists of fve central modules: the School & Busi-
ness Centre; the Environment & Science Cen-
tre and a multifunctional building with a meeting
hall; parents caf, parents training centre and
a wide range of advisory facilities.
The architectural core of the Educational Cen-
ter is described as the Street of Learning`. All
individual buildings are connected on 2 levels
by the single story fatroof building. The roof ser-
ves as an extended school yard and physical
activity area which also allows access to the dif-
ferent buildings. On the groundfoor generously
designed corridors, which eventually widen to
form learning ateliers / studios, offer spacious
lounge- and exhibition areas.

Opposite to the BSU, there is the nine foor
medical center with a green ceramics front.
The BSU and the medical tower are above the
complete area and are forming optically the
gateway to the new quarter. It is also targeted
to improve the social infrastructure effectively.
The building has a gross space of about 5,900
sqm. The project cost amount to 14 million euro
and it is funded by the public authority for urban
development and environment. The medical
center is part of an area, in which a center for el-
derly people with a school for nurses, the house
of the ile academy, two apartment buildings call-
ced wood 5 and the Wlderhaus with hotel
is situated. All these buildings border the blocky
structure in the south. Besides the importance
as entrance complex, some other urban challen-
ges come along for example the required noise
protection due to the striking distance to the rails.
Five architects offces took part in the com-
petetion, two offces won the competition.
The architects Bolles and Wilson, Mnster,
are responsible for the draft of the medical
center and the House of the Ile Academy.
They designed a square-cut tower for the
medical center at the main street. Due to
the ceramics front like the BSU, the me-
dical center fts in the general scape, but
also forms a contrast to the new cityscape.
In the ground foor of the basement, the-
re is a pharmacy, a medical supply store as
well as a bakery. The above foors are used
as doctors offces. In the two last foors the-
re are four maisonette fats with roof deck.
Due to the relatively great terraces the sky-
line of the building dissolves upwards.

Ground heat makes an impor-
tant contribution to an environmental-
friendly heat supply. In total, 128 augured piles
were braced into ground earth, therefrom 98
energy piles combined with a heat pump for am-
bient temperature fuel cells (heating and natu-
ral cooling). Besides this, thermically activated
component parts were integrated in the base-
ment and second foors. The ground heat supply
to cover heating and hot water requirements is
guaranteed by a connection to the regional heat
supply of a block heat and power plant run with
biological methane. The mechanical and indi-
vidually regulated ventilation with a highly eff-
cient gain of heat is also environmental friendly.

The Wlderhaus is a multi-functional building
for expositions, training courses and accommo-
dation. The building is situated in the center of
the quarters Wilhelmsburg Mitte and directly at
the entrance of the Internationale Gartenschau
2013. The project was conducted by Studio
Andreas Heller and Architects and Designers.
The initiative Wlderhaus was set up to crea-
te new living space in the urban area of Ham-
burg. The building is dedicated to the subject
FOREST. Furthermore, the Wlderhaus is
the frst building that is constructed in suppor-
ting solid wood architecture and that is subject
to building regulations law for buildings higher
than 13 meters means classifcation 5 for buil-
dings. The building has fve foors. Ground foor
and frst foor are constructed in ferroconcrete.
The second to the fourth foor is constructed in
solid wood that means: walls with plywood
planks, ceilings and roofs undisguised and vi-
sible, constructed with certifed spruce wood
80% from Germany/Austria, 20% from Finland.
The construction of the front is made of certifed
polygonal larch wood weather boarding with
integrated possibility for planting and nesting.
The requirements of the EnEV(the Energy
Saving Ordinance for New Buildings) 2009
for the transmission of thermal loss should
be 30% below target. With regard to primary
energy requirement an under-usage of 50%
is aspired, whereby the building elements of
the upper foors nearly have the standards
of a passive house. The energy consump-
tion also benefts from geothermal heat.

wind turbine on the site since the early 90s,
but recently there has been the addition of solar
panels on the southern side of the hill. Grass is
cut on the site and is used to produce biomass.
The methane produced from the decomposing
rubbish in the covered landll is being used by
Aurubis as fuel. In total the site produces energy
for 2000 apartments. An information centre on
site, which is air conditioned using geothermal
energy, explains the different types of energy
produced.
This former toxic waste site is now a perfect
example of how to re-use a toxic landll. At
the moment it is only accesible through guided
tours, however the hope is for it to be used as a
public park in the near future.

Domus No.922 February 2009- Landll to Energyhill.
Geogswerder Energy Hill in Wilhelmsburg
makes a large statement in the landscape of
north west Germany. It re-uses an articial hill
formed by an old landll to generate wind, solar,
biomass, geothermal and methane powered
energy.
Set in surrounding landscape that is at for miles
around, this former landll site rises to around 40
metres high. The site offers fantastic views over
the landscape and the city of Hamburg. The site
encompasses 45 hectares on Wilhelmsburg,
with 22 hectares open to the public. The landll
was ofcially closed down in 1979, and since
then, was entirely closed to the public until
Hfner/Jimnez began work on it for the IBA
Hamburg 2013. The landll contained many
toxic materials and groundwater was being
contaminated by the site. Through a combination
of heavy clay capping and membranes the
leakage was stopped. The site produces ve
types of renewable energy, using the slogan
Megawatts for rubbish. There has been a

In this project the construction type of the
townhouse is interpret as a fexible loft
type, which fts to the lifestyle and the pre-
ferences of the inhabintants, while remai-
ning cost- effective and feasible as a whole.
The architects Fusi & Amamann were wor-
king with the prefabricate house company
Schwrer- Haus. This company offers with
this project a sophisticated inner city prefa-
bricate house system as an alternative to the
suburban living. So the aim of the smart- pri-
ce- house is fulflled. The architects develo-
ped an inexpensive inner-city townhousetype
were lower income classes can afford to live in.
A quatratic foorspace builts the base of the indus-
trial prefabricated modul. Because of the horizon-
tal an vertical combinations of the 45 m moduls
its possible to develop many different foor plans.
Case Study is qualifed because of its fexible
modular construction system for different inner-
city contexts. It can fll building gaps, can be
part of a row house, a perimeter block deve-

The project Grundbau und Siedler (ba-
sic structure and settlers) is based on
the principle of structural self-help.
At the beginning the building consists of basic
construction, load-bearing ceilings and the con-
nections for the building services engineering.
In the second step the future residents
build their own apartments themselves
with the aim to reduce the price by 40 %.
This way even families with low in-
come can afford property ownership.
The ground-foor is the transitional zone
between public and private space whe-
re carports and storerooms are located.
They can also be used as workshops.
The apartments are situated on the upper
foors.The room arrangement is not set. The-
refore the groundplan offers open spaces.
The use of infra-lightweight concrete pre-
vents thermal bridging between foun-
dation engeneering and expansion.
The energy supplied via the connec-
tion to the local heating system ener-
gy network Wilhelmsburg Mitte.
The housing units thereby exceed the re-
quirements of the EnEV 2009 by 30%.
A guide in different languages includes instruc-
tions for expanding and the buildung materials
will be provided as a construction kit for disposal.

the algamush will be lead to the technicroom
where it gets prepared in a extern biogas plant.
The building releats all needed energies out of re-
generativ sources.The facade can be more then
a layer and is able to fulfll multifunctional tasks.
The BIQ is fve- storey high and has 15
apartments. They are based on the concept
of switchable spaces - Living on Demand
with functions that can be switched alterna-
tely or simultaneously to a neutral zone.
Because of different loggias the inhabitants
have a free view in the garden and on the
bioreactor facade. The visitors are able to re-
cognized the reason of these facade. The re-
genative energy production can be seen from
outside and is part of the architectural concept.

The Smart ist Grn building is an <Effzi-
enzhaus Plus> with a passive house stan-
dard which means it generates more energy
than it needs. The energy intelligent front ge-
nerates and collects energy every season.
1 front - 3 layers - more climate protection!
The frst layer is the green front element as a
summer heat protection. The next one is the in-
sulating glazing for the heat and cold protection.
The last layer is the innovation of this building,
it is a PCM-curtain (Phase-Change-Material)
which collects the solar energy and relays it to
the housing technology or even if necessary to
the Energieverbund Wilhelmsburg. This three
shifts form the building envelope. Photovoltaic
on the roof and in the building envelope plus
the solar thermal plant is part of the architec-
tural concept and the housing technology.
The substance of this building is to use and
collect the solar energy for thermal heat supply.
Special are the seperation of construction and
ftout which make the ground plans more va-
riable - structure follows function. Smart ist
Grn stands for an attractive and green living
because of many gardens and terraces in the
whole building and around of it. In front are
different electric charge stations for E-Cars, E-
Bikes and E-Scooters which absorb the waste
energy. The house community even provides a
car-sharing system to emit less carbon dioxide.
So what is innovative about this Smart Ma-
terial House is the front with intelligent buil-
ding materials and an integrated master plan.

The soft house was built in a tim-
ber structure and consists of four th-
ree-storey townhouses with garden.
The wooden constructure is designed in the
Passivhausstandard (= a building doesnt
need any classical heating because of its
good heat insulation) and enables light-
flled over all levels connected apartments.
The solid wood construction is regarded
as an evironmentally compatible choi-
ce to the traditional masonry construc-
tion because of its CO2 avoiding qualities.
Due to the dynamic textile facade that extends
from the roof to the south front, the sunlight
is used in an intelligent way.It reacts similar
to a sunfower that turns toward the sunlight.
This way even the vertical tracks of
the membrane can open and close.
Photovoltaic cells, which are integrated in the mem-
brane, are using the sun light for energy production.
Facade elements have exceptional advan-
tages. In the summer they give shade and in
the winter time they allow the entry of natural
light by day and reduce the loss of energy.
The rooms inside will be divided by mo-
vable , translucent curtains. Thereby
the user can change the room arrange-
ment individual and as often as requested.
The curtains offer an additio-
nal opportunity for the lighting.
Electricity, which is produced over the house front,
is the direct power supply line for the curtains.
LED-lights crafted into the curtains il-
luminate the interior of the house.

The woodcube is a four-storey and economic
apartment building with 900 m and fexible fats.
It is a sustainable solid wood construction with
no glue and preservative. The projecting balco-
nies are the trade mark of the building. Ceiling,
walls and foors are made of wood, too. Absolut-
ley new is the staircase made of a precast rein-
forced concrete construction. Around this const-
ruction the ceilings are trailed foor wise. On this
wood ceilings are the 32 cm primary walls which
undertake the whole statics and insulation.
The fexible moduls inside the building help
to make the apartments changeable for dif-
ferent user groups. The woodcube includes
nearly seven apartments with 70 - 130 m.
Each of them has got open spaces and views.

not to emit carbon dioxid and to be recycable.
This Smart Material House is a good
contribution for the climate protection.

technical aspects have been considered and
implemented to enable multiple usages.
Further elements illustrating the fexibility of
the building are the atriums and the entrances.
Some of interesting affects of the atriums are
a high degree of acoustic reduction, heat and
space buffer and presents a good natural light
situation. An aspect of fexibility is that atriums
can also be opened and closed affecting the
front of the building and its inner structure. Each
of the ten atriums can be arranged separately in
multiple ways. The second aspect, fexible en-
trance system, provides multiple choices result-
ing in independent entrance and exit options.
The technical design of the building considers
energy effciency and sustainability. For exam-
ple long-distance heating, heat pump technol-
ogy using ground heat energy and a cold stor-
age. This combination provides consistent heat
in winter and cold in summer consuming and
low amount of energy cost. Due to the entire
consideration of sustainability, the IGS-Centrum
has been awarded with the Gtesiegel Silber
(silver seal of approval) of the DGNB(German
Society for Sustainable Building).
IGS-Centrum
NGELIARCHITEKTEN BERLIN
When arriving the IGS, the IGS-Centrum is the
frst building you approach and it provides at
the same time the main entrance to the IGS (In-
ternationale Gartenschau). This usage is only
temporary as it is constructed in a hybrid way
means to be as fexible and economical as pos-
sible.
During the IGS, the building is serving two pur-
poses - one is a showroom area located on the
ground foor and second is an offce area in the
upper foors. When seeing the design, the outer
walls of the showroom foor are covered with
grass and moving 45 degrees to the inside. This
combination is causing and homogeneous ap-
pearance between landscape and building for
people who sees it from the outside. The entire
effect of the design is giving the impression and
the three upper foors are sitting on top a hill.
The hybrid construction provides fexibility and
makes it easy to transform to multiple usages.
The result is that the building can be either used
for living or business environment. Therefore all

LOCATION
Water is an essential element for Wilhemsburg,
traditionally used for its harbour industry and as
a living space for the workers of said industry.
Surrounded by canals water has been the life
energy for a successfull industry. For that reason
it has been an important goal of the IBA Ham-
burg to develope urban structures as examples
for the usage of water as a source of renewable
energy and as an aesthetic element.
CONCEPT
The architects of Schenk + Waiblinger won this
particular contest with their concept for four tri-
plex-buildings and a watertower that are car-
ried by stilts, spanning over 3.300 m of living
space. Water was included in the design for
aesthetic and ecological reasons. Piers, under-
water gardens, swimming terraces and gardens
allow a unique lifestyle for the tenants.
The buildings were constructed within a reten-
tion basin which is connected to the elb canals
and are entered by bridge. The triplex-buildings
each consist of three multi foor apartments all
of which have swimming terraces and gardens.
Water from the retention basin is pumped and
circulated to create water walls by the entran-
ce facade which are used as an aesthetic ele-
ment and for view protection. Every apartment
has a water foor with full-wall windows in order
to allow the tenants to feel the presence of the
water at any time. The northern water tower
consists of 22 apartments with a panorama view
and a large community room on the water foor
with a terrace on the water.
ENERGy SySTEM
The buildings are constructed with a Pas-
sivhausstandard* in order to reduce energy
consumption: constructed protrusions protect
from the sun, moving shadow elements and a
southern orientation allow for optimal harnes-
sing of solar energy. Other devices are used to
heat drinking water and the buildings themsel-
ves. The buildings are regulated with the help
of highly sophisticated technology in an effort to
compel the tenants to optimize their energy con-
sumption. All of the apartments were sold out
as of June 2011. The buildings were fnished in
March 2013.

World quarter
It is a classic brick settlement in Hamburg,
originally build for dockworkers in 1930.
During the second world war and the food in
1962, the quarter had to face structual as well
as social changes.
The design of the project
The reconstruction of the buildings should
adapt to the needs of the multicultural neigh-
bourhood. From the beginning the planning
workshop was staged as a multilingual commu-
nity experience, where everyone was able to
contribute his ideas.
The effort of ''homeland reasearchers'' led
to the success. In cooperation with students
from a University in Hamburg, they found some
culture-specifc concepts for the reorganizati-
on. In the workshops the adults and children
discussed ground plan concepts as well as free
interior desgin.
Demand of the residents
The residents wanted a new centre for the
quarter and an improvement of the outdoor
space situation, they also demanded more
familiy friendly apartments with several small
rooms and an improvement in soundproofng.
They set spatial priorities for actions.

Energy concept
The building with solar covers on the roof and
on its southern side becomes a over a long
distance visible energy bunker and it is also
a milestone on the way to renewable energy
supply of the city of Hamburg.
With an intelligent combination of energy
generation, from solar energy, biogas, wood
chips and the waste heat from a neighboring
industrial plant, the energy bunker shall provide
a large part of an area with warmth and at the
same time its designed to feed back renewable
energy into the electricity grid.
In the fnal stage the energy bunker is going to
produce circa 22.500 megawatt-hours of heat
and almost 3000 megawatt-hours of energy.
This corresponds to the heat requirement of
around 3000 households and the power requi-
rement of approximately 1000 households
The engery bunker has a large heat storage
tank , which is the core part of the project.
Through a block-unit power station , the energy
bunker is able to deliver power and heat even
on days with few sunshine.
This concept is a one of a kind worldwide. The
cost for the reconstruction are estimated at 27
Mio. . The amount of money for the technic
is 11,7 Mio. .
History
Today's energy bunker was build in 1943.
Thousand of people sought shelter from the
allied air raids and the energy bunker was also
used as a part of the German war machinery.
In 1947, the British Army destroyed the building
by a specifc blowing-up. Six of the eight foors
collapsed and so the building could not be en-
tered without danger anymore. Only the outer
cover with up to three meters of thick wall and
with up to four meters of thick ceiling remained
almost intact.
Further use of the building was excluded for
more than 60 years.

In 2009 the IBA launched the Top Climate Plan:
Achieving Environmentally Friendly Buildings
with the IBA.
The Renewable Wilhelmsburg Climate Protec-
tion Concept targets a transition to a completely
renewable energy supply of the Elbe islands.
Renovating the existing housing stock offers the
greatest potential for energy savings.
The IBA project was targeted specifcally at pri-
vate homeowners, who were offered fnancial
support and expert advice as encouragement
to renovate their buildings. To receive fnancial
support, the homeowners had to meet at least
four of the seven IBA Excellence in Renovation
Standards criteria.
Excellence in Renovation Standards Criteria:
Insulation of roof
external walls, and
cellar ceiling
Window replacement close to meeting the
Passive House standard
Use of controlled ventilation with heat recove-
ry
Heating and hot water supply mainly using re-
newable energy
Construction of a photovoltaic unit for electri-
city generating
The frst properties to be renovated by their ow-
ners as part of the Top Climate Plan campaign
were two housings in Wilhelmsburger Stras-
se, Veddel. This housing area was built under
Hamburgs famous chief architect Fritz Schu-
macher in 1926.
The buildings have listed status because of their
distinctive brick facades. Nevertheless they had
almost achieved the newbuild standard after
the renovation work was complete. The street-
facing walls could not be insulated, but all other
elements of the housings were updated to a
very high standard.
The plastered courtyard facade received an 18-
cm thick insulating layer as well as triple glazed
passive house windows, the roof was ftted with
30 cm of insulation and the basement ceiling
was lined with a 12-cm thick insulating mate-
rial.
Altogether up to 76 % of the energy consumpti-
on can be saved.
The project demonstrates that it is possible to
apply the energy standards for new buildings
and still respect the historic building conserva-
tion.

The Planting scheme consists of grass as
ground cover, existing large wide spear trees
and the planting of new trees (Japanese pagoda
tree,Sophora Japonica) that are spaced well
apart from each other. The planting provides
an inner city escape for passerbys giving them
shade and shelter under the trees, helping lter
out noise pollution and providing a place to rest
and reect on the history of the site.

Green_Spaces_GUIDE.pdf
Domplatz today is a beautiful green space for
the public of Hamburg and an inner city oasis.
The site processes many layers of history which
inuenced the renovations designers hugely. It is
believed to be the site of Hammaburg, a fortied
castle whose occupants were the founders of
the city and gave it its name. Subsequently for
more than 800 years the Mariendom cathedral
stood surrounded by fortications in Dom/
Cathedral square. Urban buildings gradually
sprang up around the square, the cathedral was
demolished in 1805, then in 1840 Johanneum
school was built, destroyed in Word War II. For
the next 60 years the site was a makeshift car
park. It was eventually decided that a 3 year
minimum temporary public recreational space
would be built.
The design consist of 39 large square white
seats plotted on the green in grids spreading
the breath of the park and out the paths.
These square seats mark the site of 39 of the
cathedrals pillars. It is not until night when the
seats light up bright white that one can fully
appreciate the seats in full. One of the seats

ged pedestrianized area infront of the buildings. A
boulevard was built on the water side with a bisec-
ted triaxial avenue of trimmed Tilia cordata trees.
A spacious stepped terrace down to the waters
edge stretches the length of the Jungfernstieg.
High quality concrete blocks were used to create
the long grandstand of six steps which doubled up
as benches. They were ftted with moveable woo-
den seats which nestle into the terrace profle as a
linear amphitheatre for festivals and performances.
Additional elements include a subtle lighting sche-
me. A revised traffc routing system was imposed
as well as the demolition of the previous 1970s
pavilion on the site of which the frst of the two new
pavillions is located.The restrained design ends
with the second new pavilion with Andr Poitiers
translucent glass cube, an upmarket restaurant
overlooking the Alster.
The redesign and modernization of the Jungfern-
stieg was both organised and fnanced by public
and private funds in partnership amounting in total
to 14million.
History: Originally built in the 17th C, the Jung-
fernstieg developed from a simple mill weir.
Later the introduction of a dam created artifcial
lakes along the Binnenalster. Nicknamed The
Virgin Rose it was a place where aristocratic
families showed off their unmarried daughters
in the hope of fnding them a suitor.
Concept: The cissation of regular boat services
on the Alster in the eighties led to the eventu-
al deterioration of the Jungfernstieg. It became
neglected, merely acting as a link between the
city and the Alster lake. In 2002 an international
competition was held for design proposals to
rejuvenate the Jungfernstieg. The brief was to
make the Jungfernstieg a comprehensive mul-
tipurpose space inviting to everyone.The com-
petition winners were a collaboration of both ar-
chitect Andr Poitiers and landscape architects
WES & Partners.
Their winning design is a tranquil interpretation
of the historical situation. It consists of a divisi-

Gardens, and an Apothecary Garden to teach
visitors the important uses of plants in medici-
ne.
The park also houses the largest Japanese
Garden in Europe, installed in 1985. There is
a tea house that gives an insight into traditional
Japanese customs where a Japanese tea cere-
mony is often performed, using the rituals focus
ing on inner peace.
The park is a wonderful amenity for the citizens
of Hamburg. The playground attracts families,
and people of every age can enjoy the large
skating rink in winter time. It is one of the largest
rinks in the world and out of season is used for
roller blading and skating.
The park is famed for its water-light concerts,
theatre, music and art exhibitions.

Planten un Blomen is a 47ha public park in
the centre of Hamburg. It is deeply rooted in
the history of the city being built on the old city
walls. The park was rst opened in 1930 and
then redesigned by the Landscape Architect
Karl Plomin between 1934 and 1935 for the
International Horticulture Exhibition Planten un
Blomen (plants and owers). It has kept this
name ever since.
The rst IGA was held on the site in 1953 when
about 5 million visitors attended the exhibition.
After this, two more IGAs were held on the site
in 1963 and 1973. For each exhibition, parts of
the park were demolished and new elements
added.
Presently, the park consists of a traditional
rose garden of 5,000 square metres, tropical
hothouses that remain from the Old Botanical

Introduction
At 151 hectares Stadtpark is the largest and
most used public space in Hamburg with visi-
tor numbers of 3-4 million a year. It is located
5km north-east of Hamburg city centre. The
main entrance is to the south-east. The park is
roughly rectangular on an east-west alignment,
1.8km long and 0.65 1km wide. The main axis
is over 1.5km long. There are 12 hectares of
open lawns, an 8 hectare oval lake and a 38m
high water tower/ planetarium.
History
In 1867 the population of Hamburg was 265,500
with only 45 hectares of open space. In 1896 an
expansion plan was put in place to provide ad-
ditional open space. Preliminary designs were
conceived for the Stadtpark in 1903 and in 1904
a Commission was set up to oversee the design
and construction of the park. One of the mem-
bers, Alfred Lichtwark, an opponent of the then
current trend for landscape style, sketched the
rst draft showing an axial arrangement running
east-west. In 1908 an open competition was
held with no overall winner chosen. In 1909
Fritz Schumacher and Fritz Sperber worked on
a common design, borrowing from a synthesis
of two others competition entries. Schumacher
described the design as a geometric skeleton
embedded in a free form body. Construction
began in 1910 with the rst complete areas
open to the public in 1914 and the park deemed
fully open in 1929.
Design Philosophy
The original intention was that the people should
actively use the park for recreation, a departure
from the 19th century ideas of passive enjoyment
of the scenery. Gently falling from north-west to
south-east the layout is functional, legible and
unpretentious. Schumachers design elements,
the (now demolished) dairy symbolising Milk,
the Meadow, the lake symbolising Water, and
the use of Brick throughout, all symbols of the
region, land and national character, underpin
the essence of Stadtpark as an expression of
social identity. As one of the rst such parks in
the world, its functional philosophy of activities
is an exemplary demonstration of the modernist
approach as applied to park design.
