Rosensteinviertel
The Rosensteinviertel is a district located in the centre of the city of Stuttgart, Germany. The district is divided into several parts, which are separated by areas of wasteland, abandoned railway infrastructure and working railway tracks. Presently 7,000 people live in the area and just under 10,000 people work in the district.
As part of a large redevelopment project, Stuttgart 21, sixty hectares of the Rosenstein area will undergo extensive changes. Some of the land, presently used for railway lines, will be developed as new urban areas including:
- Residential and office accommodation for 14,000 people living in and more than 20,000 people working in the district
- The development of new urban areas to merge the separate parts of the district into a single urban quarter whilst preserving the existing character
- Enhancements to the Rosenstein Park.
The Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences are working with the Stuttgart Planning Department and Department of Land Survey to test the 3D Participation Tool as part of the Rosenstein redevelopment.
A website (in German) has been developed to provide further information about the development plans.
The Rosensteinviertel redevelopment will have implications for the local community during the construction phase, as high volumes of truck traffic will be required to deliver materials to the site. The Centre for Scientific and Technical Building Research (CSTB) has been investigating the potential noise pollution impact of the construction traffic. The noise model results will be incorporated into the participation tool and will be used as part of the consultation process to help the local community understand the noise pollution issues associated with the development.
