A Sustainable and Innovative Kindergarten Opens in Lausen-Gruenau, Germany
A new kindergarten and children and family center, designed by the renowned architectural firm Wittig Broesdorf Architects, has opened its doors in Lausen-Gruenau, Germany, after 18 months of construction. Located at Kandlerstraße 1, the kindergarten serves as a modern and sustainable meeting point in the neighborhood, promoting diversity and encounter.
The innovative design for the two-story building, with its extensive green roof and tree-lined paths, provides ample space for children to develop and learn in a warm, bright, and energy-efficient wooden building. The upper floor is accessible by sculptural stairs, leading directly to the spacious outdoor area, which offers tree-lined paths for shade and a tree sculpture, titled "Hula-Hoop" by artist Marcus Jansen, providing additional seating.
The total cost of the project, including the creation of a kindergarten replacement new building, was approximately 8 million euros. The project was managed by the Leipzig Society for the Development and Renovation of Building Areas mbH (LESG).
Wittig Broesdorf Architects, a German firm based in Stuttgart, are known for their commitment to sustainable and modern design, often incorporating natural materials like wood in their projects. Their focus on sustainability and modern aesthetic has led to the creation of several notable buildings.
The existing kindergarten, a prefabricated building from GDR times, had serious defects in fire protection and electricity. The new kindergarten was officially opened on August 14, and the existing kindergarten was demolished in a way that preserved existing trees and some demolition material was used as fill for the new foundation.
The kindergarten consists of 45 crèche and 120 kindergarten places, with a children and family center integrated into the new building. Building Mayor Thomas Dienberg described the new kindergarten as sustainable, climate-adapted, and appealing to the senses.
