Market square Witzenhausen

Witzenhausen's market square was last converted into a pedestrian zone at the beginning of the 1980s, but after four decades it showed various fundamental deficiencies in terms of accessibility and quality of stay. A tableau of medium-format granite slabs, precisely fitted into the market square, was placed ‘under’ the historic town hall. As a stage for urban life, it is free for a variety of uses. The edges of the square were laid out in a simple paving carpet of the same material, which is in keeping with the scale of the surrounding old town.  Vis-á-vis, the valuable plane tree canopy will continue to create an identity-forming place with a high quality of lingering in the future. With its direct connection to the center of the square, the shady space will become a meeting place for the people of Witzenhausen and their guests. The market square was completed in spring 2024.
