Regensburger Nordstern creates an urban and green connection between the existing settlement of Wutzlhofen and the northern commercial area. The green heart of the new neighborhood is a star-shaped park with blue-green radiations that connect the adjacent landscape with the new mixed used neighborhood islands. The center of the quarter is the lively area around the new S-Bahn stop. The principle of the building structure is based on three pillars: 1. residential towers to accentuate important landmarks, 2. loose building structures towards the edges with orchards and 3. commercial courtyards for flexible uses. A special feature is the cold district heating network, which makes it a climate-neutral showcase project for the whole of Regensburg in terms of energy production and consumption.
