Public Participation Meeting on the B14 on July 11
June 2026
On Saturday, July 11, the second major public participation event regarding the B14 Framework Plan will take place at Leonhardsplatz in Stuttgart-Mitte.
Between 12:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., the summer event “Leonhards Wohnzimmer” invites visitors to rediscover public space and actively participate in shaping the new urban landscape around the B14 and Wilhelmsplatz. During this time, Leonhardsplatz transforms into an urban living room—a place to linger, meet, and exchange ideas.
In a relaxed atmosphere, we will provide information on the results of the participatory process to date, as well as the current status of the framework plan, which we are developing in collaboration with Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur and Inovaplan,
At 4:30 p.m., Markus Weismann will join other invited guests for a living room discussion on process design and opportunities for culture in the new B14 urban space.
Once again, the event is being organized and carried out by Planbarhochdrei.
We’re looking forward to an exciting day and lots of great conversations!

Recognition of Haisterkirch’s In-Town Development
June 2026
The Haisterkirch neighborhood in Bad Waldsee is to be further developed as a place characterized by short distances, a sense of community, and a distinct spatial identity.
To this end, a design competition was held, in which the proposal developed by our firm in collaboration with Grüne Welle received an honorable mention.
Our concept strengthens the village center through new public amenities, revitalizes existing buildings, and strategically complements new forms of housing. The Haisterbach floodplain serves as the green backbone, connecting the two districts into a cohesive open space.
A new village center featuring local amenities, social facilities, and public squares is complemented by a diverse range of housing options and neighborhood-organized community structures.
This creates a place that reimagines the present and paves the way for the future.
