The square at St. Leonhard Gymnasium is to be redefined and opened up. A group of thrones and a striking spatial edge made of hedge and wall elements are the defining open space elements of the new zoning. The color scheme of the surfaces echoes the bluestone façade of St. Michael's Church. A special design element on the restrained square is provided by seven purple thrones made of cast stone as seating furniture. As a clearly defined square with a view of St. Michael's Church, the school has an outdoor area that is very open for use by the pupils, but also for municipal events.
