Dammallee Bayreuth

Development of an integrated, sustainable concept for the redesign of Dammallee, taking into account different scales (network and profile), different topics (mobility and spatial qualities) and different perspectives (user groups).

In a joint observation walk and workshop with city representatives on potentials, goals, expectations and barriers, guidelines and ideas for Dammallee were developed and essential design elements were identified that could guide the planned redesign of Dammallee. The collaborative workshop was introduced by a public lecture about “Rethinking Public Spaces” and a first analysis of the area.  

Dammallee is a tangential street from the densely built-up Bayreuth city center with a large pedestrian zone. It is already a green axis along the historic city wall – between the dense inner-city Gassenviertel and the heterogeneous, mixed-use surroundings up to the busy ring road. The Dammallee is characterized by the historic city wall running parallel to it, along which closed residential blocks and solitary buildings form pockets of open space of different sizes and uses. Today, Dammallee has a lot of space for cars and very little space for people to meet and hang out. In the near future, the Dammallee will form part of the planned bicycle city ring. It runs along the Sendelbach, which is canalized in this section, and can be a piece of the puzzle and a connecting element between various green spaces.
