A unique combination of magnificent nature and close proximity to the city centre will be available in Augsburg in the future. The production site of J.N. Eberle & CIE. GmbH in Augsburg-Pfersee is to be transformed into a new sustainable and forward-looking urban residential quarter as part of the revitalisation process. The area around the new neighbourhood has already been a residential location for some time. Now the last commercial district in the city centre is being integrated into a modern, residential use, which has undergone a clear structural change in recent decades.   The concept for the new residential and commercial quarter on the former production site of J.N. Eberle & CIE. GmbH was developed by asp architekten in collaboration with bäuerle landschaftsarchitektur und stadtplaner, who won the urban and landscape planning competition.

Close links to the surrounding area: The neighbour­hood is linked by a network of short routes for cyclists and pedestrians and is car-free with no through traffic. Identity-forming monumental elements will be preserved and complemented with moderate new buildings. A ‘green edge’ along the Mühl-/Hettenbach creates high-quality recreational areas, while a ‘strong centre’ connects the interior of the neighbourhood with the open spaces as a lively meeting point.

Sustainable energy solutions: The neighbourhood pursues an ecobuilding approach with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 92%. An integrated hydropower plant ensures a climate-positive energy supply that reduces energy costs and contributes to climate protection.

Versatile use: The neighbourhood offers a mix of privately financed and subsidised flats (approx. 30%), supplemented by commercial uses such as offices, retail and restaurants. All important day-to-day facilities, including two daycare centres, are within walking distance.

Climate-friendly open spaces and circular construction: A balanced network of green spaces provides both recreational areas and an efficient blue-green infrastructure for rainwater utilisation. Construction favours the reuse of materials (urban mining) and the use of renewable raw materials, especially wood.
