Building culture workshop "Hydraulic Engineering" of the Federal Foundation of Building Culture
On the workshop day of the Baukultur workshop "Hydraulic Engineering" in the Kesselhaus in HafenCity, WES shareholder Henrike Wehberg-Krafft presented the WES project "Industrial Memorial Kaltehofe Waterworks, Hamburg" on the topic "Cities - climate-friendly and beautiful". She drew attention to the fact that today, in the course of the energy transition and measures to combat climate change, we need to develop a new self-confidence in order to also develop qualities for areas on the fringes of building culture, such as technical infrastructure and industry. The challenges of climate change like heavy rain events or dry periods require a new way of dealing with water in cities and rural areas. With many interesting participants, exciting contributions and lively discussions, the building culture workshop "Hydraulic Engineering" was dedicated to the creative opportunities that lie in these largely infrastructural tasks. The results are, among other things, the basis for the upcoming Baukultur Report 2024/25 of the Federal Foundation of Baukultur with a focus on infrastructure and its design.

"The Caring City - Ethics of Urban Design" by Juliet Davis
It is great that with our project “Meidlinger Hauptstraße, Wien” we are part of a current scientific study by Cardiff University professor and urban researcher Juliet Davis, in which she advocates a more ethical and humane approach to urban development. In this important contribution to urban studies, Juliet Davis challenges the conventional and neoliberal thinking of urban planners and academics and explores new ways to correct problems of inequality and exclusion. Through our project, which won first prize in the 2010 Meidling Pedestrian Zone Design competition, Davis demonstrates that a philosophy of caring can improve both the urban environment and communities, thereby promoting the well-being of many of our city's residents . The unique selling point of Meidlinger Hauptstraße is its dual function as "open space" for the resident population and as an attractive Viennese "shopping street". The competition entry was based not only on a social area analysis but also on a study on strengthening Vienna's shopping streets, using the example of Meidlinger Hauptstrasse. In Chapter 4 of the book, WES shareholder Wolfgang Betz explains how the interweaving of routines and the use of the street as a place of care and intercultural exchange are drivers of the vision for a transformation of the shopping street into a high-quality lounge for different users of different ages and nationality were. In Chapter 5, Juliet Davis refers to the term atmosphere in the context of our office's work, where she uses it as part of the livability and accessibility of Meidlinger Hauptstrasse.

Innovation partnership with Madaster
As the first open space planning office in Germany, WES LandscapeArchitecture becomes part of the innovation partnership network of Madaster Germany. The aim of the partnership is to establish resource-saving construction as an industry standard and to increase the added value for clients, users and the environment. As an online building material cadastre, Madaster compiles information about the origin and quality of building materials and provides the basis for determining material-specific key figures. The economic and ecological values of building materials can be saved and managed in a resource passport. This makes raw material values transparent and buildings become veritable raw material depots. In combination with digital planning methods such as BIM, sustainability aspects can be integrated directly into the planning. The monetization of the residual value of raw materials over the entire life cycle is another important building block for establishing a circular economy in the construction industry.

Opening of the school center at Mühlenredder
With the official inauguration of the school center Am Mühlenredder on October 26th, 2022, after the modernization and expansion of the community school and the Amalie Sieveking school, the most modern school campus in northern Germany is located in Reinbek. Björn Warmer (Mayor of the City of Reinbek), Alexander Kraft (Ministry of General and Vocational Education, Science, Research and Culture), Olaf Bienengräber (Management of the school centre) and Klaus-H. Petersen (ppp architects). The school band provided the background music for the event. An integral part of the redesign of the school center was an urban, spatial opening towards the district. As part of a participation-oriented planning process with students and teachers as well as neighboring facilities such as a daycare center, sports club and refugee accommodation, various aspects of use were analyzed and integrated into the planning from the outset. We wish everyone involved a lot of joy with this forward-looking school building.

WES Summer Festival 2022
After a two-year Corona break, the WES summer festival took place this year in the beautiful Café Leinpfad, which is located directly on the Alster on the old "Winterhuder Fährhaus" pier. After a welcome from the management and coffee and cake, a historic Alster steamer went on a tour of the Outer Alster and the adjacent canals, during which the employees were able to learn a lot of interesting facts about the history of the city of Hamburg. Back at Café Leinpfad there was a large barbecue buffet with a whole range of delicacies. Afterwards there was extensive dancing to all kinds of music until late in the evening.
Inauguration of ParkSport Lurup, Hamburg
With the completion of ParkSport Lurup, which complements the Lurup district school, which has been expanded into a community school, as a new, attractive green area, the overall Lurup district campus project finds its crowning glory after an intensive planning and construction phase. Greetings at the opening ceremony were given by Dr. Dorothee Stapelfeldt (Urban Development Senator), Dr. Stefanie von Berg (head of the district office in Altona), Florian Kreß (WES landscape architecture), Maria Hufert (head of the Lurup district school) and Henrike Langfeldt (pupil of the district school). The focus of the redesign was the opening to the district, cooperative uses and the creation of a publicly accessible, inviting place of inclusion. With sports science support and a public participation process, WES developed a modeled, park-like stylized landscape that offers young and old multifunctional exercise options (including bouldering wall, calisthenics, parkour facility and trampoline) as well as quiet zones with seating and invites them to exchange ideas.

Official opening of the national park promenade in Norddeich from July 22 - 24, 2022
After more than seven years of planning and construction, one of the largest tourism infrastructure projects on the Lower Saxony North Sea coast is coming to an end. As a unique natural and cultural area, the extensive dune landscape of Norddeich and the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site are of outstanding importance for the entire region. With the careful remodeling and the expansion of the existing dune up to the national park promenade, this important natural area is sustainably secured and preserved for future generations.

1st prize in the open space and traffic planning realization competition "Potsdamer Straße" in Michendorf
In cooperation with Hans-Hermann Krafft, Berlin and SHP Ingenieure, Hanover
Thanks to the zoning in the village green, Teltomat area and station forecourt with an independent identity, Potsdamer Strasse can do justice to its historical function as a social meeting place. In addition to traffic calming by paving the roadway in the core area, this is also achieved through differentiated leisure offers. Between the treetops, the walkway regularly widens into small "grove spots". At intersections, fruit trees create atmospheric spaces with seating without the need to consume. The importance of the historic Anger is emphasized by high-quality natural stone paving, which is largely made from the paving of the existing parking bays in the northern part of Potsdamer Straße. The avenue, which characterizes Brandenburg street villages, is strengthened along the Potsdamer Straße by careful additions and adapted to the changing climate in the selection of species. As a supplement to the existing connection nodes via the railway tracks in the area of Angers and the train station, the draft proposes a pedestrian connection via the tracks on the Teltomat site in order to better connect the residential areas behind the train station.

Contemporary urban planning in Hamburg
Like many other metropolises, Hamburg is also growing. In order to counter this dynamic, the city develops and plans on a large scale with foresight: Large urban development projects such as HafenCity or the “Leap across the Elbe” mark important areas of inner urban development. The International Bauforum 2019 laid the foundation stone for another field of urban planning: the development of the outskirts and urban spaces along the exit roads. These aging post-war spaces urgently need upgrading, at the same time they offer great potential for contemporary urban development. Olaf Bartels and the Hamburg Authority for Urban Development and Housing (BSW) investigate these topics in the new book publication "STADTRÄUME BAUEN". Based on exemplary Hamburg projects such as Science City Bahrenfeld, the City Entrance Elbbrücken or the Hammerbrooklyn.DigitalCampus, which WES LandscapeArchitecture is currently planning, the topic is broadly diversified and offers impulses for the current urban development discourse.

"Society mirror" - Alter Wall in Hamburg
Two tower-like sculptures by the Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson have been striving for almost nine meters towards the sky since October 2020. Inside the sculptures the view goes up and a mirror kaleidoscope divides the environment into manifold sections. With his “society mirrors”, the internationally known artist emphasizes the sky, the interaction of inside and outside and the constant rediscovery as important perceptual dynamics in the urban landscape. The open space concept developed by WES LandscapeArchitecture combines the past and future of the place with simple elegance and effectively accentuates the two sculptures through an unobstrusive space design.

Green quality of life in Cologne's Westerwaldstrasse
After three years of preparation and planning at WES LandscapeArchitecture, the implementations actually start on the 6 hectares along Westerwaldstreet in Cologne. The urban measures focus on ecological enhancements and improved user qualities. In the plan area, which extends over 3 km, over 200 trees are being replanted, including an orchard. The area is connected to the outer green belt of the city via newly arranged path connections and thus represents an important, tangible green connection. A redesigned district square in the "Kannebäckersiedlung" as well as games and sports offers for children and young people with learning, exercise and coordination offers, a Finnbahn, additional running / jogging trails, parkour areas and a bike trial offer attractive living qualities for young and old. The early involvement of citizens, kindergarten and schools in tours, planning meetings and workshops ensures transparency and diversity of ideas in the common development process
Off to the fresh air
In times of home office and limited mobility due to the corona pandemic, small excursions in the open air by bike are possible in and around Hamburg. Some open space locations planned by WES LandscapeArchitecture are beautiful destinations with lots of sky and space - as well as space for sufficient distance. The projects include e.g. in the east of Hamburg the Foundation for Water Art on the Elbe Island Kaltehofe, in the center the Western HafenCity with the Grasbrookpark or in the west of the city the Parcel Post Office Altona as one of the pioneering projects of the office, the Reemtsmapark or the Schulauer Hafen in Wedel. Taking into account the current pandemic rules, nothing should stand in the way of a trip to these locations.

Historical qualities in Drosteipark Pinneberg
A careful, yet clear reawakening of historical qualities is the focus of current planning by WES LandscapeArchitecture to the listed Drosteipark Pinneberg. As a park of the country drostei, in the 18th century the facility was originally designed as a classic French baroque garden, which was later over-planned. In the inner city, the facility can once again become the business card of the city and make an important contribution to local recreation and the city climate in the connection area between the city center and the train station. With the examination of the park, it is clarified which layers of time can be made visible and experienced again in order to create contemporary, high quality of stay.

Spacious sea terrace - Northern harbor island Stralsund
Northeast of Stralsund's old town is the northern harbor island as a transition to the Baltic Sea. Like a "Sund terrace", the artificially built island in front of the old town offers an unobstructed view at the vastness of the sea. The dimension and design stand in an exciting contrast to the old town with its medieval, urban structures, it strengthens the respective characters and makes them clearly noticeable. The open space concept by WES LandscapeArchitecture is intended to deal with this contrast to the old town consciously to emphasize its unmistakable identity by maintaining the spaciousness of the open spaces and making them tangible.

Historic Möllner center as "living room of the city"
The quality of stay in the central Möllner shopping street will be enhanced in the future by a coherent street space with wide footpaths and a narrower lane made of high quality natural stone typical of the place. The urban appearance, which was originally derived from the history without trees, is supplemented by climate-friendly measures such as additional trees, water elements or an energy-efficient street lighting concept. After WES LandscapeArchitecture won the urban planning competition in cooperation with the traffic planning office VIA, the office was entrusted with the realization of the project.

1st prize extension building Theaterhaus Stuttgart - culture affects urban space
The winning design by WES LandscapeArchitecture and PFP Planungs GmbH Hamburg includes the encounter between the two different urban planning orientations of living and cultural activities in one place as an urban development opportunity for a new “theater house concept”: The protection of the outside for residential purposes takes place via the new theater building configuration as well as an opening of the new building towards the inside of the completed historical factory ensemble, creating a new “theater district” with lively and calm qualities.

Quality of life in Mümmelmannsberg
With over 70 nations and more than 18.000 people, Mümmelmannsberg is Hamburg's largest housing estate and a melting pot of cultural diversity. The district has been continuously renovated for several years - Mümmelmannsberg is one of the focus areas in the east of Hamburg for urban development. After receiving a 1st prize for the open space planning appraisal process, WES LandscapeArchitecture is currently developing the urban space around the Mümmelmannsberg shopping center. A sequence of locations is planned, which develop logically from the urban planning concept in the sense of a tangible and varied narrative structure. Variously designed square spaces as communication locations create a high quality of stay and living for the heterogeneous population structure. Above all, they offer residents and users the opportunity to identify with the new center of Mümmelmannsberg. The design and color concept of Hans-Albrecht Schilling will play an important role together with the existing works of art by Fritz Fleer and will shape the new center in Mümmelmannsberg.

BDA Prize Schleswig-Holstein 2019: European Hanseatic Museum Lübeck
Special architectural achievements were honored on November 7, 2019 with the Schleswig-Holstein BDA Prize, which is awarded every four years. One of the winners of the BDA Prize is the European Hanseatic Museum in Lübeck, which was planned by Andreas Heller Architects & Designers in cooperation with WES LandscapeArchitecture. The international jury evaluated 50 projects by 34 architectural offices from Northern Germany and emphasized the “mixture of introvertedness and openness” as a representative characteristic of the Hanseatic League as well as the “successful urban planning intervention” in an urban context. The open spaces reflect complex, historical layers of time in a minimalist way, calm and clarity characterize the atmosphere and convey the spirit of the place, so that an exciting composition between inside and outside is created.

Digital experimentation: Hammerbrooklyn box
A digital future location for innovative transformation processes is being created with the Hammerbrooklyn.DigitalCampus on the Hamburg city dike near the Oberhafen bridge. With the laying of the foundation stone in June 2019, the first green container was installed on the site as a forerunner of the DigitalCampus. The entrance to the campus, designed by WES LandscapeArchitecture in the sense of a garden, creates a green area for employees and visitors, prominently placed and clearly visible from the Oberhafen bridge. Diverse horticultural elements of a "real garden" provide a seasonally changing appearance and offer different uses. A south-east facing staircase leads to the front terrace, while providing the opportunity to sit on the steps and enjoy the views. The actual center will be the former USA pavilion of Expo 2015 in Milan from 2020, which will be built on the new location as an "upcycling project". Companies, start-ups, scientists and interested parties can then jointly develop ideas for the digital world of tomorrow.

Liveable main roads
150 experts and 55 architecture firms participated in the 7th International Building Forum 2019 in the Deichtorhallen, developing forward-looking ideas and visions for seven highways in Hamburg. For days the main axes of the hanseatic city were discussed intensively. Finally the experts resumed: It needs a superordinate idea to fundamentally change the functions of the highways in terms of urban planning. In a team with André Poitiers, Andreas Quednau of SMAQ, Berlin, a.o. WES LandscapeArchitecture developed proposals for the main road no. 4 from Steindamm to Meiendorfer Street. More space for pedestrians and cyclists, continuous connections of green areas and an upgrading of existing green spaces could significantly improve the quality of these important urban areas with their total of around 140,000 people.

50 years WES LandscapeArchitecture
Lectures as part of the Hamburg Architecture Summer 2019
With numerous guests WES LandscapeArchitecture celebrated the 50th anniversary of the office in the erste liebe studios in Hamburg's Oberhafen. On the occasion of the festivities the Hamburger Oberbaudirektor a.D. Prof. Jörn Walter made a speech in which he anecdotalized the special working method of the office based on his own experiences. In four lectures, which took place on the following two days as part of the Hamburg Architecture Summer 2019, WES shareholders presented the development of the office in the last five decades and illuminated historical aspects as well as current trends in landscape architecture.
The lectures in detail:
THE ROOTS - Hinnerk Wehberg
WL - WLE - WLES - WES & Partners - WES LandscapeArchitecture - 50 years of office history, 50 years of landscape architecture, 50 years of interdisciplinary work. Just as the office in its beginnings as "Greendigger and Earthworker" met at the intersection of art, land art and architecture in an interdisciplinary fashion, today it is oriented towards common sense, classical design principles and the courage to change. The WES co-founder Hinnerk Wehberg told of highlights and stumbling blocks from the long history of the office.
ROOMS OF REMEMBERANCE - Hans-Hermann Krafft
The spectrum of landscape architecture also includes dealing with special open spaces such as those of remembrance and remembering. On the basis of drafts and built examples Hans-Hermann Krafft gave insights into the design work in the field of conflict between content-related discussion and the complex requirements and possibilities of the creative means of architecture, landscape architecture and art.
CHINA´S 70´S - Yushu Liu
A booming development, the rise to the world's syringe, the second largest economy - this is the image of China today. Where and when did this dynamic start and what were the conditions for that? Yushu Liu looked back on China in the 70s and showed the great contrast between then and now.
TODAY - Michael Kaschke
In recent decades, landscape architecture has evolved, emerging increasingly from the shadow of architecture: open spaces are playing a more important role, especially in urban areas, and international projects in transnational cooperation are commonplace. WES LandschaftsArchitektur has been operating internationally for a long time, having been in China for more than 20 years. WES shareholder Michael Kaschke reported on the developments and special features of the Chinese activities.

当原始河流景观遇上城市文化遗产.
自从2017年获得220万欧元的联邦补贴资金后，帕德伯恩市与魏斯景观合作的城市中心区Paderquell再开发项目就开始作为“国家城市发展项目”进行实施。未受破坏的Paderquell区既保持着与自然的和谐，又非常靠近市中心。通过在城市文化景观中的复原，Paderquell与这座城市的历史和城市特质保持着紧密联系。该项目的一大特点是城市开发支持举措与水框架指令在城市中心实施（Pader河的复原）的关联。今年年底将完成很大一部分施工工作，创造出一个公众可用的高品质本地休闲区域。

景观建筑能够为明天的城市做些什么？
如何能够在大城市创造更多居住空间？在同一个地方生活和工作的前景如何？未来的机动性概念是什么？在室内培训系列讲座“魏斯讲坛”中，三位顶级专家克劳斯·奥弗迈耶教授（Prof. Dr. Klaus Overmeyer）、安德里亚斯·伦富贝尔博士（DI Dr. Andreas Rumphuber）和沃尔夫冈·穆勒-皮特拉拉（Wolfgang Müller-Pietralla）为这些极具话题性的主题提供了宝贵的启示。隶属于克劳斯·奥弗迈耶教授的城市催化剂工作室（Urban Catalyst Studio）被认为是参与导向型空间和城市开发的引领者，而奥地利建筑师安德里亚斯·伦富贝尔博士为整体主义的生活和工作场所提出了富于远见的概念。作为在大众汽车公司供职的未来学家，沃尔夫冈·穆勒-皮特拉拉用他对未来移动世界的畅想在听众中引发了激烈的讨论。
"其他地方" // 沃尔夫冈·贝茨在2017年北方艺术节建筑师和规划师日上的演讲
“再生：现存建筑中的新举措”这一口号让许多著名演讲者在2017年北方艺术节建筑师和规划师日——2017年9月21日——齐聚伦茨堡，谈论他们对现存建筑再生的想法，如卡洛琳·博斯教授（Prof Caroline Bos）、恩里克·索贝哈诺教授（Prof Enrique Sobejano）、乌特·施耐德（Ute Schneider）和名誉工学博士HG·默茨教授（Prof Dr.-Ing h.c. HG Merz）。在题为“其他地方”的演讲中，沃尔夫冈·贝茨从景观建筑的角度论述了建筑再生这一主题。
"它们还能得到保留么?" // 讲座，克劳斯·雷丁
60年代至80年代的景观建筑工程都笼罩在拆除和重建的紧张对立中。
显露着岁月的痕迹，它们正在许多地方被人讨论：处处都是破败迹象的古老城市广场在时光流逝中发生了变化，它们需要得到至关重要的重新评估——它们是否还跟得上时代，是否还有功能性，是否还能给人美学上的愉悦感？在它们的实体和形象诞生的时代，它们一方面是文化资产，代表着一个建筑文化时代，另一方面它们肯定满足着某种功能上的需求，而这种功能现在已经改变了。古老公共广场的保留或放弃是根据许多因素、人和故事做出的决定。2017年9月14日，克劳斯·雷丁将在吕贝克 - 特拉沃明德（Lübeck-Travemünde）的城市论坛上阐述这一主题，强调“丧失-濒危-拯救”等方面。
2017年9月7日和8日在波鸿举办建筑文化研讨会“改造文化”论坛
改造措施有什么潜力？为了将德国全部建筑投资的超过70%投入到现存建筑中，必须采用哪种策略？除了经济和生态方面，现存建筑的改造和进一步建设为建筑文化的革新提供了施展空间。2017年9月，联邦建筑文化基金会（Bundesstiftung Baukultur）和北莱茵威斯特伐利亚城市建设文化协会（StadtBauKultur Nordrheinwestfalen）邀请演讲者参加波鸿的建筑文化研讨会“改造文化”论坛，为具体项目和主题讨论贡献关于这个主题的专题演讲。作为联邦建筑文化基金会的官方中心事件，这场建筑探讨会的结果将汇总在一年一度的建筑文化报告中，以现状报告的方式向政策制定者的行动提供建议。2018/19年度建筑文化报告的主题是“遗产。现存建筑。未来。”。
城市公共空间 // 与辛纳克·韦贝格和沃尔夫冈·贝茨（Wolfgang Betz）的专家访谈

现实主义的、充满力量的洞见者
在汉堡市政厅举办的首席建筑主管耶恩·沃尔特教授（Prof. Jörn Walter）官方退休典礼上，辛纳克·韦贝格发表了一篇传记体演讲，突出强调了沃尔特教授在双子城德累斯顿和汉堡的城市规划开发上取得的杰出成就。怀着对地点和人的强烈共情并且拥有热情洋溢的说服力，耶恩·沃尔特是人与思想之间的杰出媒介。在辛纳克·韦贝格心中，这位离任的首席建筑主管是未来的“Rijksbouwmeester”（荷兰语，首席政府建筑师），继荷兰楷模雅·柯伦（Jo Coenen）之后的又一位“建筑学的良心”。

魏斯景观上海新办事处获颁执照
随着“魏斯景观建筑设计（上海）有限公司”获颁执照，魏斯景观位于上海的这个新办事处已经开始运营。考虑到中国官方常常不愿意颁发长期执照，这次批准——发生在连续10年的开发工作之后——可以认为是魏斯景观未来能够在中国稳定开展业务的良好迹象。该办事处已经成功地规划和实施了数个项目，例如完成了上海东方体育中心为举办 2011年国际泳联世锦赛而增加的全部户外设施。
目前该办事处正在上海进行数个项目，其中值得一提的项目包括占地89公顷的“WS3单元控制性地块西外滩开放空间设计”总体规划，以及与德国GMP建筑事务所合作开发的“上海南外滩滨河长廊”项目，它是上海最著名的步行区“外滩”的延伸。

“WES魏斯讲座”系列活动开幕
在新的系列活动“WES魏斯讲座”中，WES魏斯景观建筑将和各位专家就城市开发、建筑和开放空间规划等不同主题展开会话和交流。2017年3月6日，Heiko Sieker博士、教授（霍珀加滕——水敏感的城市发展）、Carmen Biber（2017年硕士论文——高级城市树）和Anne Kittel（汉堡港口城市大学——Klimzug Nord）将介绍他们对雨水管理这一主题的贡献/主旨发言并进行讨论。然后发言人将涉及从当前研究发现到最佳实践案例的多个主题。WES办公室有几张内部活动的客户票，如果您感兴趣，我们将十分荣幸地邀请您参加。
WES管理合伙人Claus Rödding
WES魏斯景观建筑将再次以奉献、激情和专业精神，迎接今年富有挑战性的新项目。为了管理越来越多的任务，前执行董事Claus Rödding在今年年初被任命为新的管理合伙人，与Peter Schatz、 Wolfgang Betz、Michael Kaschke和Henrike Wehberg-Krafft并肩工作。凭借他在办公室工作18年所积累的知识和经验，Claus Rödding将为WES的管理层注入新鲜血液，为德国国内和国外的未来工作保证连续性和稳定性。
"作为城市拼图的城市试验区" // 维也纳Neu Marx 地区创新性城区开发二等奖
作为一支跨学科团队，COBE Architects Berlin、Studio Vlay、Expander Design、Vienna/Andreas Rumpfhuber和WES魏斯景观建筑用极富创新性的设计参加了“共同设计Neu Marx”大赛。对于这个正在进行开发的城区，设立理念提出了一种类似马赛克拼图的结构，将它划分为不同的功能区，并将一座“大房子”作为新园区的中心。生活、工作和研究将以一种多样化的方式融合和连接，形成一个“巨型园区”。拼图状分区的交叉区域形成互相连接的开放空间，基于空间共享的理念，绿意葱茏的林荫道、微型公园、花园和台地构成了所有人都能平等分享的公共空间。切线沿线和下方的现有空间将被开发成一个迷人的公园，并作为“切线带”为体育运动和休闲提供多种多样的机会。这一不同寻常的设计理念创造出以过程为导向的基本结构，为使用者提供用于开发和变化的空间，与此同时为该地区的自我定位提供了基于环境且有条理的帮助。
使用常识的批判性思维 // “ Hinnerk Wehberg 迎来80岁寿辰”
48年以来，德国最负盛名的景观建筑师之一Hinnerk Wehberg用他不同寻常的理念和热烈的讨论——如今仍乐于参与当下的争论——塑造了建筑景观的样貌。早在1969年，由Gustav Lange（一位在丹麦训练出来的景观建筑师）、Gundolf Eppinger（景观建筑师）、Wieland Schmidtke（平面设计师/电影制作人）和Hinnerk Wehberg（画家/雕刻家）组成的WES创始团队就在“绿色挖掘机和地球工作者”的口号下凝聚成了一支跨学科团队。2016年11月，众多合作伙伴、老同事、朋友和家人在汉堡齐聚一堂，庆祝Hinnerk Wehberg的80岁寿辰，回顾他们在生活和工作中共同经历的历史。
种苹果树 //OTTO林荫大道
位于汉堡 - 布拉姆费尔德的OTTO公司正在改造其户外空间：一个高品质的园区正在兴起，提供了一个用于户外会面和工作的迷人场所，与此同时还创造出许多休憩和沟通的机会。

Elbfest.Hamburg // A festival commemorating the 150th birthday of the Sandtorhafen
Under the motto "Schippern. Schnacken. Schlendern" (Boating. Chatting. Strolling), in September the new port anniversary festival will not only celebrate maritime tradition but also contemporary life along the River Elbe. Entrance is gratis and the event programme will be spread across three locations: the Sandtorhafen in HafenCity, the Hafenmuseum in the 1950s warehouse and by the River Elbe.
WES LandscapeArchitecture has designed several of the open spaces in the surrounding area of the HafenCity, together with EMBT / Enric Miralles + Benedetta Tagliabue, Barcelona (E) - another good reason for making a late summer visit to the "mini port anniversary".

Office inauguration Shanghai
In order to supervise Asian projects directly on location and create more closeness between the clients and contracting bodies, WES LandscapeArchitecture opened a new office in Shanghai on 01.09.2016. Yihan Chen, Chief Representative for WES on the Chinese market, will be responsible for managing the new office location in Asia and will maintain close links with the head office in Hamburg.
Completion of the Offenbachplatz in Cologne
The renovation of the Offenbachplatz in Cologne provides an opportunity to make the entire urban space perceptible and tangible again and to highlight the special quality of the district. At the same time, the measures will provide a contemporary setting for the stages. The Offenbachplatz with an area in front of the opera in the Tunisstraße, as well as the smaller area in front of the Schauspielhaus in the Brüderstraße, was subject to comprehensive planning by WES LandscapeArchitecture and extensively redesigned. During the refurbishment, great importance was placed on the restoration of the squares, in line with the heritage guidelines and the concept of the Cologne-based artist Jürgen Hans Grümmer, who designed the site in 1966/67. Once the construction work is complete, the squares will be open to the public.
Unlike the open spaces, the refurbishment of the SCHAUSPIEL at Offenbachplatz will not be completed by the beginning of the season 2016/17. Theatre director Stefan Bachmann hence came up with an unusual artistic device: He will use the unfinished venue as an "outdoor venue at Offenbachplatz". Young directors will stage contemporary and debut performances in this unique setting. This will culturally revive the location, despite all the discussion around constructional and financial aspects, and will return it to its original importance.
Awarding of professional services contract (VOF) | „Barock trifft Moderne” in Saarbrücken
The project „Barock trifft Moderne” (Baroque meets Modernism) is dedicated to the conservation and further development of the baroque and postwar-modernist built heritage in the urban district Alt‐Saarbrücken, in the Eisenbahnstraße area. Here, the axes of outstanding architectural references to the two phases that were of great importance for the urban development of Saarbrücken meet in a small space: The baroque axis meets Ludwig’s Church, Ludwigsplatz (Ludwig’s Square), the Friedenskirche (Peace Church) and Wilhelm-Heinrich-Straße.In addition, the axis of postwar modernism meets the Eisenbahnstraße and the site designed by the architect Stengel.
A large variety of individual measures, implemented over many years and thus meeting with acceptance, were influenced by eras such as that of the car-friendly city, which led in total to negative changes and restricted utilization. In addition to the functional retrofitting of both baroque churches, restoration work has been carried out to enhance the existing building substance. This has generated an „added value” for cultural and tourist goals, in addition to the church activities, and has modified the public space to meet with current urban planning requirements.
The aim of the project is to enliven both the baroque axis and the postwar modernist axis by the end of 2018, making them much more perceivable within the cityscape.
We are delighted to plan and supervise the implementation of this transformation in the centre of Saarbrücken, in the context of an open space and traffic concept together with the engineering consultants ARNDT IDC.

Festive inauguration of market and Querfurter Straße // Bad Lauchstädt
On Sunday, 26th June 2016, the Minister of Transport and Urban Development in Saxony-Anhalt, Thomas Webel, and 1000 other guests are invited to the official inauguration of the market and Querfurter Straße in Bad Lauchstädt, redesigned by WES LandschaftsArchitektur. These building measures hence complete the implementation of the plans of Johann Wilhelm Chryselius for the design of the spa gardens with an avenue of four rows of trees along the Querfurter Straße. One of the important main axes of the facility, leading from the castle door, past the well to the spa building and the Goethe Theatre are now tangible once again. In addition, the castle, historic spa facility and the Goethe Theatre will be restored to their full glory as a striking ensemble. The redesign is a synergy of the history of the former fashionable Saxonian baths and contemporary demands. The result is a conclusive open space with a high quality of design and modernity.

Competition prizes in China // Nanjing Financial City - Phase II and Greenland Shenwan, Shanghai
Two initial competition prizes were won by gmp Architekten and WES LandschaftsArchitektur in China: Together with schlaich bergermann partner–sbp gmbh from Stuttgart, we came out top in the realization competition for Nanjing Financial City, a new mixed-use commercial district with an area of 65,000 m2 in the southwest of the metropolis Nanjing. The successful phase II is considered to be a key project that aims to connect two urban axes in Nanjing’s urban expansion district Hexi New Town. The open space planning in the midst of the ensemble of five multi-storey buildings envisages a green north-south axis in the form of a green canyon with squares, courtyards set between the tall buildings and a fascinating view of the Hexi New Town district.
An additional 1st prize was awarded to our co-operation partner for the project “Greenland Shenwan, Shanghai” for the joint design of the new commercial centre in Yangjing in the north of Pudongn, close to the financial centre Lujiazui. A strong feature of this area is its close proximity to the Huangpu River and Yangpu bridge, existing residential buildings and former port facilities. The new commercial centre is linked to this area and the scale of the buildings also harmonizes with the surroundings. The open space planning envisages a large number of pathways, courtyards, roof gardens and terraces between the thirteen detached, villa-like commercial buildings.

Successful competition projects // Western section of Augsburg main station and Tower 90, Frankfurt
The architectural office schneider & schumacher from Frankfurt/ Main and WES LandschaftsArchitektur were successful in a second competition round for the realization of the design of the western section of Augsburg main station.
The competition “Tower 90” was won in collaboration with the architectural offices MAGNUS KAMINARZ & CIE. ARCHITEKTUR from Frankfurt am Main and JAHN ARCHITEKTUR from Chicago. The competition concept plans the design of a multi-storey apartment building with an adjacent perimeter block development in the Europaviertel in Frankfurt am Main. The innovative and identity-forming theme is “hanging gardens”.
Opening of Hamburger Kunsthalle after modernisation
Following almost two years of building work, the modernized areas of the Hamburger Kunsthalle will be inaugurated with an extensive supporting programme. The modernization will reinforce the international standing of the institution, increase its appeal for visitors and strengthen the presence of the building within the public space.
The building project was based on the mission to emphasize the historical main entrance of the foundation building and reopen it as a central and attractive entrance portal vis-à-vis the Alster Lake. The entrance stairway, no longer in use since 1919 now leads to the open arcade, which has now been exposed again, in which a wide glass façade provides an unobstructed view of the Alster.
In addition to the redesign of the exhibition spaces, the modernization of the art education rooms and the refurbishment of the central painting and sculpture depot, the state of Hamburg has made a decision to extensively refurbish and enhance the outdoor area. On the same level as the Kunsthalle building, WES has created a new promenade in the form of a central walkway along the Glockengießerwall and has equipped it with seating, plantings and a barrier-free connection to the Alster Lake, the latter in the form of a new wheelchair accessible ramp, the integration of tactile elements in the flooring and the redesign of the existing stairway. Finally, in order to set the Kunsthalle building on a historical, green base, the supporting walls will be covered with ivy along the whole line of the Glockengießerwall.

HafenCity Hamburg | Planting of large trees at the Elbphilharmonie
Following the planting of the first three Robinia trees from Brandenburg in 2011 on the lower terrace of the Elbphilharmonie outdoor space, now four more large trees will be able to move to Hamburg HafenCity. All the tree plantings were planned by the Spanish architectural office EMBT, in collaboration with WES Landschaftsarchitektur, in the context of designing the western HafenCity.
„The idea was to find trees which give the impression that they have always been there, ones which have a striking appearance that stands out next to the Elbphilharmonie”, said the WES partner responsible for the project, Peter Schatz.
The magnificent Robinia trees originate from the tree nursery LORBERG, are up to 15 m high, weigh around 8 t and are almost a quarter of a century old. A flatbed vehicle with excess width will transport them from Berlin's surrounding area to Hamburg. There, the giants will be lifted up high by a crane, against the beautiful background of the Elbe River, and finally placed in the prepared planting holes on the upper terrace of the Elbphilharmonie outdoor area.
