The town of Bacharach plans to convert the town hall complex, consisting of the main building, ancillary building, and courtyard in Bacharach on the Rhine, into a town hall with a tourism and cultural centre as part of a comprehensive renovation. For this purpose, the contracting authority has already had a feasibility study prepared, which is part of the tender documents and available for download. The feasibility study contains a usage concept and planning variants, which are not binding. The feasibility study serves only as a guide. The complex was built between the 16th and 19th centuries and has been the town hall since 1941. The listed historical "Kurpfälzische Amtskellerei" in Oberstraße 1 consists of three wings - a front building, a rear building, and two ancillary buildings of more recent construction - all of which run parallel to the street. In particular, the front building from 1557, which is characterised by a distinctive timber-framed structure in the upper storeys, shapes the townscape. It houses the council chamber, rooms of the municipal administration, the municipal works depot, and rented office space. The rear building is largely empty. The ancillary buildings contain workshops of the municipal works depot. The courtyard complex has a considerable need for renovation. The town hall building is not barrier-free despite its public use. The basement and first floor of the rear building are not usable in their current condition. For details, refer to the enclosed "Feasibility Study" and "Renovation Town Hall Bacharach Explanation" and the other tender documents. A conservation-appropriate renovation is planned to preserve the cultural monument and ensure its sustainable use. It is planned to restore and modernise the front building with the connecting wing and the courtyard. The town hall, together with the courtyard and the rear building, is to serve as a central contact point and high-quality meeting place for citizens and tourists in Bacharach. In addition, the town hall is to fulfil its function as a public utility and follow-up facility. The rear building is to undergo a stock-oriented restoration/modernisation for conversion. The renovation aims to make the currently unused areas usable again. The rooms should be usable as modern municipal housing or partly adequately as public utility and follow-up facilities. Furthermore, the facade is to be renovated and the causes and damage from ingressing water are to be eliminated. Use of the cellar and conversion of the attic are not planned. Implementation of the new building (according to the feasibility study) instead of the equipment shed is not planned. The equipment shed is to be restored and continue to be available to the municipal works depot. In addition, the dilapidated storage building is to be demolished. The courtyard, which is currently used predominantly for parking, is to receive a design upgrade and be used as a high-quality open space for staying and events. The following uses are planned, subject to further determination by the municipal bodies: Town hall administration, council chamber, exhibition, offices, club rooms, workshop + municipal works depot, storage areas, sanitary facilities, lift, public toilet, tourist information, event areas, cultural use, open spaces with staying quality, etc. A detailed building survey including measurement and a building-historical investigation will be commissioned for the property. The project planning is to be carried out in close coordination with the conservation authorities, taking into account the specific requirements of monument protection. Sustainability aspects and climate protection are to be considered in the planning. The enclosed project schedule is to be used as a guideline. The deadlines for submitting grant applications from funds for monument protection and urban development funding must be met.
