Germany – Architectural services for outdoor areas – Landschaftsplanerischer Realisierungswettbewerb: Pocketpark Bäckerklint Braunschweig

Transformation of Bäckerklint in Braunschweig's city centre into a Pocket Park: The City of Braunschweig plans to transform a heavily sealed inner-city area into a green-dominated open space with high quality of stay in a densely built-up environment. This is a funded measure with a funding period of 5 years. The aim is to ecologically and aesthetically enhance the area with the involvement of qualified planning offices (selection within the framework of a landscape planning implementation competition). In doing so, inner-city living space functions are to be improved through de-sealing, greening and adapted rainwater management. The competition will be announced as a non-open, single-phase competition for a landscape design in an anonymous procedure within a VgV procedure as an RPW procedure (Section 3 (3) RPW). The competition conditions have been coordinated with the Committee for Competition and Procurement of the Chamber of Architects of Lower Saxony and registered under the number 214-32-26/02 with the date of 11.02.2026. The contracting authority will, in accordance with Section 8.2 RPW, commission the design author of the 1st prize for the implementation of the project - provided that this is recommended by the jury and there are no serious reasons to the contrary - after negotiation in accordance with Section 14 (4) [8] VgV. Taking into account the recommendation of the jury, the landscape design services according to Section 39 HOAI will be awarded as a comprehensive commission (in stages; subject to positive committee decisions and compliance with the funding guidelines) for the performance phases 2-8 (2, 6, 7 and 8 in parts) according to HOAI 2021.
