Offenbach Harbour
Architect: Ramboll
Location: Frankfurt, Germany
Completed: 2020
​
An industrial peninsula on the River Main is being converted into a new sustainable city district. The "harbour" forms the new urban focus with varied access to the water and multifunctional urban space. A promenade network connects the water to the more densely build-up area on one hand and to the new local park and regional river path on the other hand.
​
In the challenging environment of contaminated soil, a holistic stormwater management concept has been developed to create soft city spaces and streetscapes while retaining and cleansing stormwater before releasing it to the river and harbour. Innovative natural water treatment systems such as cleansing biotopes are integrated into the park spaces, and new natural habitats are created for riparian flora and fauna whilst being a refreshing green oasis for the city.
