Gerberplatz and Open Spaces of the District Administration Office in Schwäbisch Hall
A grand staircase, punctuated by landings, connects the entrance hall of the district administration building with Gelbinger Gasse in the old town, which lies approximately 8 metres below. The design of Gerberplatz as a stair-driven plaza was crucial for the urban integration of the elevated district administration building with the half-timbered houses of the historic old town. The sculptor was consulted early in the planning process. In close collaboration, the design for the staircase, with its axially arranged sculptures along a handrail, was developed.
