From War Relic to Mixed-Use: Plans to Build a ?Green Mountain? Atop a Bunker in Hamburg
A team of local residents and architects in Hamburg?s neighborhood of St. Pauli have been granted planning permission for a proposal to repurpose a war bunker dating back from the 1940s. Coined Hilldegarden, the proposal seeks to create a ?green mountain? garden atop the disused roof of the bunker along with a range of mixed-use projects that increase its height by several stories. ?We are rebuilding what we inherit.? The project?s initiative states, ?Adding something to history while dealing with it and thereby reshaping history itself.?
