The Rosenstein urban planning competition recently ended with the decision on the winning design. First place went to the Stuttgart-based asp Architekten/Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur consortium. Detlef Kron, Head of the Office for Urban Planning and Housing, opened the exhibition on the Rosenstein competition in the Church of St. Maria at Tübinger Straße 36 in Stuttgart on Friday, 27 September, at 5 pm.

At the opening event, Kron said: "The Rosenstein urban planning competition was a complete success: with over 50 submissions from international planning offices, the city of Stuttgart has received a wide range of design ideas for the future Rosenstein quarter. So that the people of Stuttgart can now also get a picture of them, we will be exhibiting the results in the Church of St. Maria over the next four weeks."

The Office of Urban Planning and Housing is displaying all the submitted works from the competition in the exhibition. In addition to plans, drawings, and information about each submitted proposal, revised first and second place models will also be on display. The exhibition will be open for viewing daily (except October 3) between 10am and 6pm until October 25, 2019. Admission to the exhibition is free of charge.

Since 2017, the parish of St. Maria in the south of Stuttgart has made its church available for events other than church services. Whether theatre, café, gallery or marketplace - for two years now, the church of St. Maria has been tested as a space for togetherness with the implementation of various event formats.

Urban planning competition 2018 and public participation

In summer 2018, the city of Stuttgart announced the "international open urban planning competition Rosenstein - Ideas for the new district". The aim of the planning competition was to obtain an urban and open space planning design as a model for the future development of the Rosenstein district. A total of 54 international planning offices took part. Beforehand, citizens were able to contribute their own wishes and ideas for the Rosenstein Quarter at various information events and workshops held by the City of Stuttgart. These were incorporated into the competition.

The Rosenstein development area is currently considered the largest construction project to be realized in Stuttgart in the near future. It stretches between the main railway station, Nordbahnhofviertel, Rosensteinpark and Schlossgarten and offers 85 hectares of space for future-oriented living and working in the heart of the city. The Rosenstein Quarter is to be developed into an urban and mixed district with a high diversity of uses, attractive public spaces and internationally renowned cultural offerings. In addition, the quarter is to be developed under climate-friendly aspects. In addition to the expansion of the parks, the guiding principle of the energy-plus quarter plays a major role: the future buildings should generate more energy than they consume.

Currently, the designs of the winning office asp Architekten/Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur are also on display at the Info-Laden Rosenstein auf der Prag e.V.. The exhibition in the Gläsernes Büro at Nordbahnhofstraße 81 can be seen until October 12, always on Mondays and Wednesdays between 5 and 7 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and by appointment.
