An overall open space planning concept that integrates the Daimlersiedlung more closely into its neighborhood and enhances its open spaces.

After our entry submitted in cooperation with Glück Landschaftsarchitektur received one of two second prizes in the fall 2023 competition, we are the clear winner after the revision phase!
The former Daimler estate – built from the 1960s as a factory estate with two high-rise buildings, eight estate houses and around 800 residential units – is to be reorganized in terms of urban development and redensified by around 270 new residential units to be built. To this end, we have developed an overall urban and open space planning concept that integrates the Daimler estate more closely into its neighborhood and enhances its open spaces. A new development connects the currently fragmented situation, integrates stand-alone buildings and creates a transition from the lower buildings in the west to the east side, which is characterized by high-rise buildings. The upgrading of the open space and the exemplary sustainability and energy concept radiate beyond the plan area into the neighborhood and allow the entire Hallschlag district to benefit from the measure.
As the GWG Group explained, “the winning design impressed with its ideas for a neighborhood that enables lifelong living. On the one hand, it includes suitable apartment layouts for different tenant groups, while on the other hand, the communal areas offer something for every age group, from kindergarten to coworking spaces to senior living groups.” Frederik Lutz, Head of Project Development at the GWG Group: “The planned buildings fit in very well with the existing buildings and the characteristics of the site and offer a high degree of flexibility in terms of further development. We are certain that the new, attractive design of the quarter and, above all, the open spaces will represent added value for the tenants.
