Playground at the Liebensteinstraße, Lahr

The playground on Liebensteinstraße is one of the most important centrally located open spaces in Lahr with an inner-city play area. This should be adapted in a first phase 2013 to current use requirements.

The formative old tree population and natural stone walls, which enclose the site located on the slope, are largely preserved. Variants for a terrain modeling were tested on the model and a division into two play areas, which are framed by seat walls, was selected.

Based on this design, the planning was resumed in 2018 and adapted to the changed requirements.


On the lower level, an area for older children up to 12 years is created. A corresponding climbing facility offers versatile opportunities for climbing and playing.

On the upper level, play opportunities for younger children, including a sand play area, are arranged.

By structuring the terrain into the two play terraces and a curved path, a barrier-free development of the playground could be achieved despite the slope.
