On the Via Culturalis, the new cultural building block is to be placed as a further solitaire - archi-tecture

and thus become a part of the cultural path. The adjacent development will be given an urban conclusion by the addition of a building structure and will thus become recognizable as a separate block. This opens up the Sporergasse and allows the new market hall to stand out.
