In Lörrach, to the north of Basle, a series of building projects is being realized at present promoted by the foundation of the former Schöpflin textile factory. In addition to a “Fabric-Wunschproduktion”, designed to implement numerous ideas from the population, such as a civic canteen, workshops and accommodation on the former factory grounds, the foundation has provided a site for a new housing district and a multipurpose sports hall. In 2014, the Stuttgart architects’ office of Glück and Partners won the competition for the new development, which is situated immediately next to the suburban railway station with forecourt access serving the district of Brombach.
