A high-density neighborhood with a focus on affordable housing and community was born from an urban planning competition.
Diakonie Stetten's 70-year history of providing care at Hangweide is transitioning into a more diverse and inclusive neighborhood.
Abandoned buildings are replaced by an urban village that blends urban and rural living qualities while maintaining the site's historical significance.

The site is divided into three areas, featuring multi-floor timber-frame buildings arranged around planted neighborhood courtyards.
A wheelchair-accessible village promenade connects the community to a centrally located square, Egelseeplatz.
The design integrates water features by reactivating the former canal to the old oil mill.

A lake surrounded by trees forms the heart of the neighborhood.
Key communal spaces: the farm shop and café .
The project divides the area into three sub-areas, each with unique characteristics connected by green spaces, while a central square-like area serves as the natural center, linking existing buildings and the "green gap."

Essential public facilities are concentrated in the central square to aid in the area's revitalization.
Two neighborhood garages are strategically placed at entrances to ensure effective traffic management and reduce congestion within the neighborhood.

The project achieves architectural diversity through a variety of building typologies and placements.
The integration of the "Anna-Kaiser House" furnishings into the new development provides a link between the old and new elements of the neighborhood.
