Old town parking garage Kiel

The old town parking garage in Kiel's city center has been the starting and ending point of a visit to the old town since 2012. With its attractive exterior façade, it integrates particularly well into the urban surroundings and is a major part of the city's urban design and development. In view of the need for “more parking SPACE,” the project was commissioned in 2012 by the client “Hochtief Solutions AG.” 

The design of the structure is particularly oriented toward the neighboring NDR building to ensure the harmonious integration of the structure into the old town surroundings. Typical northern German clinker elements and modern steel slats characterize the attractive façade of the parking garage. To benefit the environment and counter excessive electricity consumption, we developed a column-free construction method. This allows plenty of space for generous glass sections and views through the individual parking levels. The column-free architecture in the parking and driving areas is typical of WÖHR+BAUER garages and, in combination with the contemporary trend toward increasing vehicle sizes, promises adapted parking space widths of 2.50 m.
