Initial situation
Initial situation
The appeal of the entrance to Bad Kreuznach’s pedestrian zone is impaired by a car repair shop. The heavily contaminated soil is considered a major challenge for project development.

Concept
WÖHR + BAUER took on the task of professionally disposing of the contaminated soil and developing a property that would provide the location with a high quality of stay and increased customer frequency: a modern food market with an attractive car park for the neighborhood.
Result
With the proven combination of retail and parking, a property was developed at the southern end of the pedestrian zone that significantly revitalizes the neighborhood. The high number of visitors to the food market creates great potential for the establishment of additional retailers in the surrounding area.
The building, designed by the Munich-based firm Kupferschmidt Architekten, impresses with its futuristic-looking architectural language. Instead of a mundane functional building, the metal-clad façade and the rounded shape of the building have produced an exciting solution, praises Bad Kreuznach’s mayor, Dr. Heike Kaster-Meurer.
WÖHR + BAUER project manager Gerhard Feuchtgruber is pleased that the hoped-for positive effects are taking hold in the surrounding area: “We are proud to contribute to enhancing the central section of Mannheimer Straße with this modern and visually appealing building.”
The market is an excellent example of sustainable action and is in line with the REWE Group’s sustainability strategy. With our Green Building concept, we consume 50 percent less energy here than a conventional standard market.
