In the December issue of the Neuperlach district newspaper, the participants talk about the redesign of the Lätare Center on Quiddestraße in Neuperlach Nord. The article focuses primarily on the reorientation of the area, which will be used by various organizations in the future, including the Protestant Church, the Christophorus Hospice Association, a kindergarten, and a therapeutic day care center with a café.
Architecturally, there are two big parts to the renovation. On the one hand, there is the energy-efficient refurbishment of the buildings constructed in 1969-1970, and on the other hand, there is the restructuring of the premises to adapt them to the diverse new uses. Stefan Neukamm from the Munich Deanery aptly describes the project's goal of creating a community, meeting place, and neighborhood: “Our vision is for the place to become a meeting place for the neighborhood again. We want life to buzz there again.”

Before things quiet down at the end of the year, we would like to thank everyone involved in the project, builders, partners, and colleagues for their excellent cooperation in 2025. We wish you peaceful and reflective days and a good start to the new year. Here's to a year full of new ideas, successes, good cooperation, and exciting prospects.

It was time for the Steimle Architects Christmas party, which this year featured a day & evening program. While the first half of the day included a tour of the John Cranko Ballet School designed by Burger Rudacs Architects, which also took us behind the scenes, the second half of the day was full of craftsmanship. At the ArtAtelier in western Stuttgart, we sat at the potter's wheel and, with a lot of love and frustration, made everything from vases to cutting boards.
After that, a short break was necessary. Until the evening, when Club Traube in Stuttgart Wangen welcomed us again. The Christmas party at Club Traube, which had already been planned during the Corona pandemic, was finally held. The beautiful, communicative space of the wine shop invited us to chat, puzzle, and dance—all of which we did to our hearts' content.

On Friday, November 21, the 14th Night of Architecture will take place at the Kunsthalle Göppingen. Thomas Steimle has been invited as this year's speaker and will give a presentation on the projects of steimle architekten bda. Builings that address the challenges of our time, sustainability, consistent approach, and independent structures that give something back to the public space.
Registration for the lecture by the Göppingen Chamber Group is open until November 17, 2025. Please register by emailing kg-gp@akbw.de.

"The location of the buildingis characterized by the so-called tree hall that is adjacent to the west. This refers to stately old plane trees there that form a kind of natural hall with a great atmospheric effect. The pale-green colour, the play of light and shadow in the treetops an the special texture of the tree trunks from the basis of the design by Steimle Architekten." descrips Ulrike Kunkel in her text of the sporthall in Wangen in the AIT magazin.
