Fritz District

Urban, dense, climate-friendly and very heterogeneous - this is how you could describe the design for the future ‘Fritz District’ at Fritz-Schäffer-Strasse 9. Numerous architectural firms from Amsterdam, Oslo, Zurich, Berlin and Munich have left their mark on it. 200 flats, offices, shops, cafés, a daycare centre and a cinema are to be built on the former Allianz site. Originally, the eastern part of the office complex, which was last available for interim use, was to be demolished and replaced by a new building. However, during the planning phase, the decision was made to split the building up so that - supplemented by conversions and new buildings - a total of nine structures were created. In this way, around 65 percent of the existing building can be retained and a lot of ‘grey energy’ can be saved. The ‘new aesthetics of removing, reusing and adding material’ also appealed to the competition jury. A large part of the site has already been let as the “aer” office building complex.
