Regensburg (DE)

We received additional documents and uploaded them in the folder 0-New Documents after Launch (name of the folder: DE-Regensburg-Topografy Rahmenplan Nord 1) 

the approximate location and size of the station can be found in the document (sketch) on the mobility hub, which will be uploaded as soon as possible and can then be found in the New documents after launch folder. 

The mentioned table in the brief is not intended to calculate car parking spaces, but rather to provide a rough estimate of the population potential. The concept of stationary traffic and a car-free neighbourhood are part of the competition task. The participants should develop their own proposals for this. However, it is not necessary to provide a detailed parking space plan with a specific number of parking spaces in the idea competition.

The building plots shown are an initial proposal by the City of Regensburg. They can be adapted as part of the new design, provided that the overarching urban planning objectives are taken into account.

There is no map with the trees. The existing trees can be seen on the aerial and oblique aerial photographs.

In the competition brief on page 33, Figure 23, Detail Area 1 is shown graphically. This covers the specific area to be developed between Chamer Straße and the railway line. We would ask you to use this illustration as a guide.

In principle, the mobility hub (Detail Area 1) and the district centre (Detail Area 2) can be both located in the same area - for example in the area of the first realisation phase between Chamer Strasse and the railway line - depending on the design. If this is the case, we recommend adding a further area of specialisation in another part of the planning area in order to ensure that two different areas are processed in accordance with the brief.

Dear participant, we have been able to open the file without any problems and have not yet been able to detect any technical errors. You also seem to be the only team having problems with the file. 
Unfortunately, we are therefore unable to determine where exactly the problem lies and recommend trying a different programme.

The ‘Walhalla’ railway stop is outside the planning area and its location is fixed. If the question relates to the new ‘Wutzlhofen’ railway stop within the planning area: Its location is also fixed and is already specifically planned by Deutsche Bahn. It is therefore not possible to move it as part of the urban development concept

Yes

The neighbouring forest area to the north-east lies within the city boundary and is designated as a municipal protected forest. Due to its special protected status, it may not be overplanned or utilised. Integration into the overarching green concept can only be envisaged in the form of visual references or open space planning transitions, but not through functional or structural interventions.

There are several existing compensation areas in the planning area. To what extent would it be conceivable to relocate these areas in the course of the planned redesign and to compensate for them through the ecological enhancement of other parts of the site?

A development plan is currently being drawn up for the areas of the solar park in the east, which stipulates its use as a solar park. Once the development plan comes into force, the land is expected to be used as a solar park for at least 30 years. In the long term, an alternative use of the land may be considered, but it is currently assumed that it will be used as a solar park in the long term. Roof areas can be planned as locations for photovoltaics independently of this.

The existing biotope at the continuation of Sandgasse must be taken into account in accordance with the applicable nature conservation regulations. Complete restoration is required where interventions are made in protected biotope structures. The existing bike park may remain as long as it does not interfere with the protected biotope areas or their development objectives. A nature conservation assessment and consultation with the relevant authorities will be necessary in the further process.

No. According to the LAI guidelines ‘Notes on the implementation of the Ordinance on Electromagnetic Fields’, the following distances must be maintained around overhead lines, which must be free of relevant immission sites: Width of the strip adjacent to the stationary outer conductor: 110 kV 10 m; 220 kV 15 m. Relevant places of immission are places that are intended to be used by people on a more than temporary basis. These include in particular residential buildings, hospitals, schools, schoolyards, kindergartens, day nurseries, playgrounds and allotment gardens. Restaurants, meeting rooms, churches, market squares, gymnasiums and comparable sports facilities as well as workplaces can also be used for other than temporary residence. Therefore, sports fields, running tracks or playgrounds are not permitted directly under an overhead line.

According to the LAI guideline ‘Notes on the implementation of the Ordinance on Electromagnetic Fields’, a strip of 5 metres in width around transformer substations must be free of relevant immission points.

Relevant places of immission are places where people are not only temporarily present. These include in particular residential buildings, hospitals, schools, schoolyards, kindergartens, day nurseries, playgrounds and allotment gardens. Restaurants, meeting rooms, churches, market squares, gymnasiums and comparable sports facilities as well as workplaces can also be used for other than temporary residence.

No buildings are permitted in the 10 m wide protection strip along the canal route. Buildings of any kind (including ancillary facilities such as garages or carports) and private gardens are excluded. Surface uses such as roads, paths, simple square designs (e.g. paved areas) and public green spaces are permitted - but without tree planting. Deep foundations or elaborate furnishings that require corresponding foundations are not permitted. Permanent accessibility for maintenance and repair must be guaranteed without restriction.
