Port of Offenbach

The basic principles of the open space planning are integration into the "Green Ring from the Main to the Main" and thus into the RhineMain Regional Park as a link between existing and future green spaces. The aim is to create a strong connection to the water, to create open space for social interaction and to achieve an interlocking between water and land. The materials used are also intended to create a reminder of the harbour's past, i.e. of its rough, robust and honest character.
The key features of the peninsula are near-natural riverbank areas with individual views through to the Main, landscape windows or viewports as a link between the mainland and the waterfront. The main features of the peninsula are near-natural shore areas with individual views to the Main, landscape windows or viewing windows as a connection between the mainland and the new district on the peninsula, the landscaped island tip with retention areas and an island road with tree-lined avenue.
In the transition to the peninsula, a large square is being created, which, through direct access to the water, additionally increases the relationship to the river and offers opportunities for social interaction, as well as for a stay through a generous flight of steps at the end of the harbor. A sustainable rainwater concept is made possible by cleaning biotopes and soil filters, especially in the landscape windows.
