WINNER : 1st Prize DKFS together with Schlaich Bergermann Partner SBP Stuttgart and SINAI Landscape Berlin
DKFS together with Schlaich Bergermann Partner SBP (Partner: Sven Plieninger) and the landscape architects SINAI from Berlin, won 1st Prize in the competition for the design of a new bridge in Erfurt. The pedestrian and cycle bridge replaces an existing construction built in GDR times. The new link, coined the “The Peg” by local press, is an important part of the planned expansion of Erfurt's city center related to the district development of “ICE-City”.
The international competition attracted entries from leaders in their field like Wilkinson Eyre Architects, London and Dietmar Feichtinger Architects, Paris. The fanning steel structure provides a short and a long side, offering pedestrians and cyclists barrier-free crossing of the so-called Gera-Flutgraben or the busy avenue Stauffenbergallee with a provision for a tramway. Wide steps and panoramic stairways provide views over the area’s greenery. Concept Design is intended to start soon.
