Nature in Pfaffenhofen 2017

Pfaffenhofen has valuable open space in the middle of the city, which has become available due to the relocation of the municipal building yard and the reorganisation of various other areas. No relationship currently exists between the urban fabric and the landscaped space along the Ilm, where the new open spaces are located.

The introduction of a structural system by way of avenues links the urban and landscaped realms. The avenues highlight the connection between the Ilm and some important public squares in Pfaffenhofen. The strict system of avenues, derived from the urban structure, meets the naturally formed riverscape and divides it into three important new segments: Ilm Island, Bürgerpark and Volksfestplatz, with a sports field. To strengthen the north-south connections along the Ilm and within Pfaffenhofen, numerous paths are created and lined with rows of trees. The tree-lined promenades will create a distinctive atmosphere, particularly along either side of the river.
