Projects
21035 Hamburg-Allermöhe: 36 completed units in semi-detached and terraced houses, one of the older ecological housing estates in Germany; largely built from 1985-96, the last house was built in 2003. Compost toilets, reed sewage treatment plant, biological building materials. "Interessengemeinschaft Ökologisches Bauen Allermöhe", planning/construction management: J.

22045 Hamburg-JenfeldHAMBURG WATER Cycle®, an urban quarter with 835 residential units, 630 of them in new buildings, and commercial space for around 2000 residents is being built on 35 ha of the former Lettow-Vorbeck barracks. Project costs: approx. 250 million euros. The most far-reaching project of a decentralised water supply and disposal system currently in Europe: vacuum toilets, biogas production and waste water separation (HAMBURG WATER Cycle®). The biogas produced will be used to generate heat and electricity for the new district in a climate-neutral manner in the district's own combined heat and power plant. The project will thus enable climate-neutral living and sustainable drainage.

23500 Lübeck-Moisling: New construction of 75 flats as semi-detached houses (30x) and detached houses (5x) in timber construction.

28357 Bremen-Hollerland: 200 units (not realised); model photos, well-analysed study on the failure of the project. The most important reasons: "too sterile architecture; too expensive although low-cost construction was promised; too far outside the city; the fact that the city railway was not routed to the new district after all; generally poor construction activity; major employer in Bremen went bankrupt." However, the Hollerland project caused a lot of media hype and is regarded as a model for many other projects that have since been realised, such as "Bremen-Grünenstrasse", although not on the outskirts of the city but in the city centre.
