Project
The newly founded cooperative took over the land from the foundation zukunft.bahnhof and will now act as operator and developer. The date for the building permit should be foreseeable in spring 2024. We hope to be able to start construction work in 2025 and that the first residents should be able to move in by 2027.
The project was developed by Katrin Grünig and Martin Hohn on behalf of the foundation zukunft.bahnhof and is now being operated by the Freudenau cooperative. The other team members are Astrid Dörig, Pascal Hüppi and Christian Grünig.
Development
In a participatory workshop process, three architectural teams have developed proposals for the design of the site. These were presented to the public in November 2023. The foundation has now commissioned the teams from Futura Frosch and JOM Architekten to develop the next phases.
Status
The urban planning for the new buildings and the renovation of the Bahnhalle have been completed.
This means that our construction project is becoming more and more tangible and is taking shape. The plans now provide a clear idea of what the site will look like in the future.
The next stage is the preliminary project phase, in which the architecture and the interior and exterior design will be further elaborated. This will be a collaborative process in which we will work together with interested parties and potential residents on the further planning. In this way, we want to ensure that our vision becomes a harmonious project for everyone.
