Fritz District

Urban, dense, climate-friendly and very heterogeneous – this is how one could describe the design for the former Allianz site, 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. Until the end of 2020, the nearly 3.4-hectare planning area was purely an Allianz office complex. Now it is to be developed into a mixed-use neighbourhood. To this end, the existing buildings will be incorporated and converted. The western building has already been renovated and converted and, in addition to the ‘aer’ office building, also houses a daycare centre. The eastern complex is also to be largely preserved. Partial demolition, conversion, addition of storeys and extensions will create a new urban structure with a variety of uses that will also benefit the neighbourhood: in addition to approximately 325 residential units for different income groups, space is planned for offices, retail, commercial, gastronomy and cultural facilities.
