Redesign of Holstenstrasse of the Old Market in Kiel

Recognition

The new city square, consisting of a granite pavement of uniform color and material, complements the existing traditional facade along with slab associations. This design also differentiates between the central promenade and docking squares.
Holstenplatz shall be implemented with additional new trees and shall lead up to the future transportation stop. In the northern area of the square, new sports and play areas as well as a fountain / water area are being created. These shall be illuminated at night with lights or artistic video productions of the fog clouds to establish it as a unique place.
The southern part of Holstenplatz invites you to linger with newly planted tree grates with integrated benches.
