Three new parks for Nagold

AppreciationGerman Landscape Architecture Award 2013

Jury verdict: For the large district town of Nagold in Baden-Württemberg with a population of approx. 22,000, three completely redesigned parks were created by the plan authors for the State Garden Show 2012. The basis for the parks was a coherent concept of "green urbanity" by Professor Stötzer. The three parks, designed as permanent facilities, encompass the entire urban area of Nagold as a special feature in the sense of an integrating and coherent green band.

With the newly designed Kleb City Park and the new Krautbühl Park and the new Riedbrunnen Park, a different sequence of green and open spaces was thus created in Nagold. In addition, the facilities have created a clear relationship to the adjacent residential and housing areas in the city. The 18-hectare inner-city parks also integrate extremely well into the existing urban area with their new accesses and stairways on the banks of the Nagold and Waldach rivers.

With a new bridge facility at the confluence of the Nagold and Waldach rivers and with new cross connections and visual axes into the city, the parks and green spaces also cleverly bring together the element of water. The three parks, with their character as neighbourhood parks in a smaller town such as Nagold, thus create completely new qualities of stay. This applies both to the residential area assigned to the parks and to its citizens as well as to visitors to the city. In addition, the design of the parks is characterised by a very successful landscape architecture as well as a high material quality. Overall, the three parks have considerably enhanced the city in terms of both design and structure.
