Planning context ★★★★☆
Spatial planning context:
Buildings are to be constructed on the site of the former Lamentohalle according to the framework planning for the creative quarter by Teleinternetcafe (2012). Since the hall was demolished in 2017, the area lies fallow.
Thematic planning context:
Artists* from the creative quarter repeatedly use the brownfield for artistic interventions, e.g. the installations "Pommesbude" and "Space is the Place" from 2018. Through these actions, the artists* take a stand on relevant issues of urban planning, e.g. the low availability of space and planning uncertainties for artistic activities and studio spaces.
The activities of Zona Libre relate to topics relevant to urban planning, such as regional food production (Solawi Auer Garden), consumption-free living ("brauchbar") or recycling of "waste products" ("foodsharing").
