Dispute over railway areas: Stuttgart is planning a new Rosenstein district!
The dispute over railway land in Stuttgart has been bothering the city for a year and a half now. Last Friday, the Bundestag revised a legal regulation for the subsequent use of the vacant railway areas. This amendment to the General Railway Act (AEG) could pave the way for the ambitious Rosensteinviertel project. As the Stuttgart News report, the reactions to the decision are both positive and negative.
A broad alliance in the local council sees the need to now clarify the next steps for this major urban development project. The discussions about the future use of the track areas that will be freed up by the commissioning of the future main station in Stuttgart have thus explicitly moved to the top of the agenda.
Vision for a new district
The freed-up track areas offer the city a great opportunity to develop a new and urban district: Stuttgart Rosenstein. According to the Website of the Stuttgart–Ulm railway project The aim is to develop a district here with a high variety of uses and attractive public spaces. In addition to living space, space should also be created for work and leisure.
Important aspects for planning are sustainability and climate justice, which are firmly rooted in the vision. The idea is to create places that create identity and integrate internationally renowned cultural offerings. This is intended to make Stuttgart Rosenstein an exemplary district for future life and contemporary urban development.
The way forward
In order to put the vision of the Rosensteinviertel into practice, innovative ideas and solutions for coexistence in the district should be developed. The focus is on a harmonious interplay of life, work and living that corresponds to modern urban planning principles and technical standards.
The coming period will be crucial for development. The local council has the opportunity to actively participate in the design of the new district and to discuss both the opportunities and the challenges resulting from the changes. The battle for railway space in Stuttgart continues and will shape the city in the long term.
