Urban Design Competition for a Master Plan to Define the Wertheim Site at Leipziger Platz in Berlin Completed PRESS RELEASE Berlin, March 20th 2008 Urban design competition for a master plan to define the Wertheim site at Leipziger Platz in Berlin completed The plot of real estate at Leipziger Platz generally referred to as the “Wertheim site” has come another step closer to development. It is one of the major properties in the heart of Berlin remaining to be constructed upon. In September of 2007, ORCO Germany and the Berlin Senate Administration for Urban Development initiated an urban design competition for a master plan for this prestigious and well-known property. Yesterday, the jury awarded first prize to the design by the Berlin-based architectural firm Kleihues + Kleihues. ORCO Germany S.A. purchased the undeveloped plot of real estate at Leipziger Platz in late 2006. Up until today, it was not possible to develop the site since its ownership status had not been resolved in legal terms. An urban design competition was begun in September of 2007. Its objective was to prepare an architectural concept as part of the urban planning context in order to obtain a master plan that can actually be used to build on this property at Leipziger Platz. In the course of the “diskursives Gutachterverfahren” procedure (meaning that participants are specifically invited by the organizers and are given the opportunity to present their designs in a colloquium), nine architectural firms known in Germany and abroad met with the members of the jury, the owner and with other experts involved to discuss the task at hand as well as the results of their work. In the course of several such colloquia, the project was subjected to review from many different perspectives. On Tuesday, March 18th, 2008, the jury and experts held one final meeting and then awarded first prize to the draft master plan submitted by Kleihues + Kleihues. ORCO Germany is planning to provide for the following individual usages on the site: 55% for shopping and entertainment, 30% residential, 15% for office spaces and 760 parking spaces. Now that the competition has been concluded, the more specific plans for the new development will go forward, which will be done in cooperation by the owner and the Senate Administration. The construction is scheduled to begin in spring of 2009 and is planned to be completed in mid-2012. The urban design competition was structured as a discursive procedure. Nine architectural firms were invited to participate. The following expert judges were present at the jury meeting: Prof. Christoph Langhof (Chairman), Langhof Architekten, Berlin; Thomas Baumann (revision phase), Berlin; Christoph Sattler, Munich. The following acted as non-expert judges: Rainer Bormann, ORCO Germany S.A., Berlin; Regula Lüscher, Berlin Senate Director for Building Issues; Christian Köhler (revision phase), ORCO Projektentwicklung GmbH, Berlin; Kristina Laduch (revision phase), Berlin Urban Planning Authority. Statements on the results of the competition: Rainer Bormann, CEO ORCO Germany S.A.: "This is a project that is very significant to us, also on a purely emotional level: We are very proud to be involved at a location like this and to give it its design. The entire competition was characterized by a spirit of constructive collaboration." Regula Lüscher, Berlin Senate Director for Building Issues: "The concept selected has real chances of being implemented and I believe we have come closer to realizing our urban planning objectives. After all, the most important factor is always the city." Prof. Christoph Langhof, Langhof Architekten: "I hope a building will be constructed that compares with its elegant predecessor that once stood on the site. In its time, the Wertheim building truly set standards, and the objective must be to attain that benchmark with the new buildings." Kleihues + Kleihues: "The site welcomes its visitors with open arms like a good host would do, and once it is developed, the Leipziger Platz ensemble will be completed. And more than that! We have submitted a design for an independent urban quarter within the city, which will imbue the co-existence of public spaces, residential units, retail and work with a truly metropolitan flair." Excerpt from the minutes of the jury meeting on March 18th, 2008 (recommendation of the jury) The jury unanimously declares the firm Kleihues + Kleihues to be the winner of the urban design competition. In addition to this evaluation by the jury, the following recommendation is made as regards the further work on the design: The objective is to guarantee that, to the greatest degree possible, people will enjoy spending time in the area demarcated by the frontage of the Bundesrat building, Vossstrasse and Leipziger Strasse, and this also during bad weather. This means that the task of the institutions involved in further planning the site consists of realizing these planning objectives to the greatest degree possible. In this context, it is to be investigated whether covering the area with a filigree glass roof, or by other means, will be suitable for achieving these planning objectives without destroying the public nature of the road area. In addition, it is to be ensured that along this axis, the set-off distances between the residential towers is increased significantly and that the entrances to the apartment buildings in the publicly accessible area are given a premium design to represent their top-quality address. The jury advises the initiator of this competition to follow up on this recommendation by the jury and award a contract to Kleihues + Kleihues to work on a qualified master plan.

Established in 1991, the company has its registered seat in Luxembourg and is listed on the Euronext, Prague, Budapest and Warsaw stock exchanges.

They neither desire nor aim to design a quite different building or a quite different town, but to develop the building and the city as well as they possibly can from their particular context, literally building on the experience of the past. Another of the two architects’ credos is that architecture is an independent discipline with its own laws, and that therefore it should not draw on other areas: »A building is neither a cave nor Distributors a tent, neither a tree nor an umbrella, neither a stand nor a ma- chine, neither structure nor construction.

Over a period of more N than thirty years, the union-led company planned and built more than 400,000 apartments and has, from the 1960s onwards, realized nu- merous municipal and commercial buildings in Germany – the majority of which are still standing today. Neue Heimat’s projects can be regarded not only as a result of the entan- gled interplay between economic interests and politics, they were also an expression and reflection of the social history of the Federal Republic of Germany. Over the course of Germany’s ‘economic miracle’, Neue Heimat succeeded in articulating the hope for a better life harboured by broad sec- tions of the population. By implementing large-scale housing complexes which were predominantly conceived as social housing estates, the trade union-led corporation offered an effective tool to alleviate the housing shortage that still prevailed, even two decades after the Second World War had ended.
