Germany – Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services – Zweiphasiger Realisierungswettbewerb mit Ideenteil "Erlebnisraum Rheinaue Dormagen" - Objektplanung Freianlagen

The project "Erlebnisraum Rheinaue Dormagen" is a central initiative within the context of Dormagen's urban development for the main town. The Integrated Urban Development Concept (ISEK) with Master Plan describes measures to enhance the city centre and improve its connection to the Rhine. Located southeast of the city centre and within walking distance are valuable open spaces along the Rhine riverbank and on a hill. The hill is visible from the Rhine and offers views of the surrounding Rhine area. Connections via a footpath and cycle path along the dyke lead to the medieval toll fortress of Zons and to the ferry connections to Monheim and further north to Düsseldorf-Urdenbach. To the southwest, the city area of Cologne adjoins, which is initially characterized by the Chempark along the Rhine at a distance of approximately 700m. The aim is to develop an experience area that captures the unique characteristics of the place and translates them into a strong landscape architectural idea. The newly designed open space should combine quality of stay, movement, play, nature experience, views, ecological enhancement, and improved accessibility to the Rhine area. The site should not be uniformly transformed; rather, a differentiated interplay of intensively usable areas, quiet nature experience spaces, and inaccessible habitat areas should be aimed for. To achieve the broadest possible range of solutions and an optimal planning result, the City of Dormagen is launching a two-phase open space planning implementation competition with an ideas phase. This forms the basis for further open space planning from the design phase to the implementation of the partial measure.
