Heilbronn, a lively small town with a long history, located on the Neckar River and surrounded by vineyards. In recent years, it has earned itself the title of ‘most dynamic city in south-west Germany’ – an exaggeration by the city's marketing department or fact?
What is certain is that Heilbronn is an economically strong location. The Dieter Schwarz Foundation is involved in a wide range of activities in the city. Examples include experimenta, Germany's largest science centre designed by Sauerbruch Hutton, and the new education campus, which now has around 8,000 students (Auer Weber, Glück+Partner, etc.).
As part of the 2019 Federal Horticultural Show, the city took the opportunity to initiate major urban development changes: a largely derelict area directly behind the railway station and on the Old Neckar river was developed into an attractive neighbourhood. In addition to high-quality small-scale developments by various architects, two projects stand out in particular: the first high-rise building in hybrid timber construction by Kaden + Lager, ‘Skaio’, and the Josef Schwarz School by Behnisch Architekten.
