A new heart for Bilderstöckchen
We are excited to announce that De Zwarte Hond, together with RMPSL, has won the competition for the new Bilderveedel in Cologne-Bilderstöckchen!
At the center of the design is a vibrant neighborhood square, surrounded by a supermarket, a daycare center, hospitality venues, and a 40-meter-high hotel – a new landmark for Bilderstöckchen. To the south, the square transitions into a green residential courtyard with ample space for play and relaxation. To the northwest, an integrated mobility hub connects to the supermarket, topped with housing.
The jury unanimously selected the design, stating:
“The project presents a well-resolved urban design response to complex conditions and offers the robustness needed to develop a vibrant, functional neighborhood in Bilderstöckchen.”
Together with project developer CUBE Real Estate, we are now moving forward with the realization of a future-proof, mixed-use district in the north of Cologne.
The competition entries from all participating teams are on display in the main hall of Stadthaus Deutz, Willy-Brandt-Platz 2 in Cologne, until 9 May 2025.
