Neugestaltung Marienhof
After decades of temporary use and its role as a construction site for the second S-Bahn Stammstrecke, the project envisions a space for public life. No new buildings are planned and instead, the focus is on landscape design and integrating underground station access.

About This Project
The Neugestaltung Marienhof is an urban design project focused on redeveloping the Marienhof, a centrally located square behind Munich’s New Town Hall. Created after World War II, the area has long served temporary functions and was most recently used for construction of the new Marienhof station for the second S-Bahn Stammstrecke. The goal is to transform the site into a green urban square with tree-lined edges and a central open lawn. The concept emphasizes public use, recreation, and small events while deliberately avoiding above-ground buildings. Current discussions consider enhancing the design to better address climate adaptation through additional trees, shading, and possible water features. Overall, the project aims to create a calm, accessible public space in the dense historic city center.
