The rural municipality of Schwabsoien/D held an urban planning competition to find the best solution for a vacant inn in the centre of the village and for an adjacent open space. For this purpose, the municipality commissioned three architectural firms to prepare building concepts. On the basis of a catalogue of criteria, they decided on a concept that they now want to realise. The design envisages several larger buildings and a central square as a meeting point. The buildings and open spaces should fit into the village structure. The redensification focuses on the social and cultural needs of the local population, such as education, leisure and recreation. A nursing home, a kindergarten, a school canteen, a village shop and a café are to be built. Important for the success of the competition were the regional cooperation with the Auerbergland e.V. association, the financial and technical support of the municipality and a statute of pre-emption for the area in question.
