The architectural firms Eike Becker_Architekten and Krekeler Architekten Generalplaner have been awarded the contract for the detailed design of the project in Waldenburg. This step marks an important phase in the development of the city's future cultural centre. The project focuses on transforming the historic Marstall into a public forum that combines aspects of culture, culinary arts, art, hospitality, and community.
The listed building ensemble will be restored with consideration for its historical substance and further developed to meet future requirements. The plan envisages carefully adapting the existing structures while creating new usage possibilities. This ensures the preservation of the cultural heritage, whilst a modern infrastructure is implemented that meets the diverse demands of a cultural centre.
Usage Concept and Progress
The proposed usage concept encompasses a broad spectrum of functions. Areas are planned for exhibitions, an art depot, marketplaces for regional products, a hotel operation, as well as premises for conferences, educational events, and social exchange. This mix of offerings aims to establish the Marstall as a central hub in Waldenburg, appealing to both local and supra-regional visitors.

According to those involved, the building application for the project is shortly to be submitted. With the awarding of the detailed design contract, the project moves from a conceptual phase to detailed implementation planning. The vision of a new public space in Waldenburg, connecting tradition and modernity, is thus taking concrete shape.
The collaboration between Eike Becker_Architekten and Krekeler Architekten Generalplaner underscores the ambition to realise an architecturally sophisticated and functionally versatile building. The careful restoration of the listed existing structure and its supplementation with future-proof elements are guiding principles. This enables the creation of a vibrant forum that makes a sustainable contribution to Waldenburg's cultural and urban development.
