A high-quality urban quarter has been created on the former industrial site of the Coats/Mez company, located between Kartäuserstrasse and the Schlossberg in the city centre. The staggered arrangement of the town villas ensures that the Schlossberg is always present. This creates attractive views and well-lit apartments. The St. Augustinusheim, a foster home for children and young people, and a service building with a café bring life to the neighbourhood square. On the other hand, the residential buildings are loosely arranged around the “Green Centre”, which serves as a meeting point and playground for the residents.
