expert process Prager Strasse | Thonberg - Leipzig
design concept
Urban concept of function, structure and design
1.
The Thonberg area at the triangle Prager Straße / Mühlstraße /
Riebeckstraße was generally considered. It is the old location of the
"Thonberg". The focus of this projekt was on the triangle Prager Straße /
Stötteritzer Straße / Riebeckstraße. This top of the triangle has the most
potential of the this area and can help to reactivate the whole district.
2. The existing old buildings were integrated. Except for the development
on Riebeckplatz, we assume a height of 5+D bzw. 5+2D aus.
3.
The rhythm of Prague's street is in the context of urban planning
elements. ("Johannesplatz", "Alten Messe", "Völkerschlachtdenkmal")
4.
For space organization and accentuation, town squares will be formed
to shape the structure of the Thonberg area. This happens above all along
the "Prager Straße", so from the "Johannesplatz", "Gutenbergplatz",
"Ostplatz", in the area "Thonberg" over the "Mühlplatz", "Thonberg Anger"
to the new "Riebeckplatz" and reaching further to the "Barnet-Licht-Platz".
At the "Stötteritzer Straße" / "Riebeckstraße", the old church square is
designed associatively.
5. A special highlight will be the new designed Riebeckplatz, in the context
of the building of the "Technischen Rathauses". Here worked in the
19./20.Jh. the tower of the south house of the dominant Riebeck brewery.
This creates a striking landmark such as "Ostplatz", "Deutscher Platz" or
the square at the "Russischen Gedächtniskirche" / "Deutsche Bücherei".
6. This area were open up via the existing road network with known
restrictions.
7.
Parking is in the blocks as basement garages or in the street area
according to the given key. The new buildings have underground garage.
Blocks C1 - C3 as well as the Hotel at the "Riebeckspitze" receive the
garage from the "Judith-Auer-Straße".
8.
The open space concept envisages the strengthening of existing
green space potential and network. Old town squares are reactivated,
the Thonberg Park is upgraded and networked. The Thonberg-Anger is
newly created on the Prager Straße / Stötteritzer Straße to make the
promenade and cycle path connection in the area practicable.
9.
There are more gaps and new buildings for social uses.
10. At the Riebeckplatz, taking into account the noise situation and the
urban planning markings, a hotel is created here (Boardinghouse).
