Redesign Halle/Saale Market Square
On the occasion of the City of Halle's 1200 year anniversary its market square has been fundamentally redesigned. Tramway tracks leading across the square have been reorganized, surfacing and site furniture have been renewed. Through a new conceptional approach the square has been developed into a centre worthy of the city. Regarding the design, inspiration has been drawn from themes formative to the cities development: saltworks, rich history as city of art and culture and also everyday market use. In spring 2006 the square was given back to Halle's citizens after two years of construction. Diggers, drills and other noisy machinery are gone - every day life is returning. Marketers, passers-by and tramways have repossessed the square and are effusing familiar sounds.
