The City of Eberswalde’s market square is rediscovered as the town's functional centre and focal point. It is a place of the past and future, a place for every day life. The design reflects the square’s topography as well as it’s historic context. Due to a slight slope the space is oriented towards the “Finowkanal” (Finow channel) and at the same time is functionally embedded between city hall and “Kreishaus”. Here landscape, urban history and modern every day life merge like nowhere else in town.
