The Marstall (formerly Marstall Center ) is a shopping center built in the 1970s and completed in 1978 on the Holzmarkt in Ludwigsburg . The center was reopened on September 30, 2015 after a complete restructuring, but is considered an architectural problem.
history
The center was built from 1972 to 1975 and initially offered space for a total of 54 shops on two sales levels. Above it were up to 15-story buildings with offices, practices, a kindergarten and over 200 condominiums.
With the relocation of many companies, including Karstadt and Kaiser's Tengelmann , retail space was increasingly empty. The building turned into a dead mall . In 2013 ECE Projektmanagement GmbH took over the run-down center and began renovating and redesigning it for over 100 million euros in June 2014. In the course of this, the city of Ludwigsburg also introduced urban development measures that were intended to improve the area around the shopping center. This includes green spaces, a new city terrace and improved traffic management. From the operator's point of view, the Marstall will contribute to a positive development of the inner city quarter.
description
The shopping center has 65 shops on three levels with a total sales area of 25,700 m² and a large catering area. The interior design is intended to reflect the historical roots of the name Marstall , with some elements reminiscent of a horse stable. The center is said to have between 600 and 650 employees. The total catchment area is put at around 900,000 inhabitants.
Infrastructure
Due to its central location, the Marstall is within walking distance, from the train station it is a 15-minute walk. The center can be reached by car via the B 27 , and the nearby Ludwigsburg Residenzschloss , Rathaus and Bietigheimer Straße stops are served by numerous local public transport buses .
reception
Some shopkeepers in downtown Ludwigsburg fear competition from the royal stables, but the city and the operator are also expecting a revival in the shops around the shopping center.
The building is traditionally considered a sin. This has not improved even after the renovation, said experts at the Ludwigsburg Architecture Quartet in October 2015. The Luxembourg architect François Valentiny said that this trivial architecture should never have been built in this environment. He and the Berlin critic Jürgen Tietz said that demolition would have been the better solution. The building destroy the scale; the lesson to be drawn from this is to be more careful with our cities in the future. Above the shopping arcades, the building wears an old, tattered dress, according to the third expert in the group, the Stuttgart architect and museum designer HG Merz. There was also criticism of the large advertising space on the outside facade in connection with the feigned historical authenticity inside, which Tietz described as “junk total”.
