Refurbishment and extension of a listed building to be used as Municipal Library and Adult Education Center. The old 'Stadthaus' was designed in 1926 by the architect German Bestelmeyer. Demolition of a smaller adjacent building created the extra space needed for the new entrance volume. The new building houses besides the foyer a multi-functional auditorium and a teaching kitchen. Elevators in the new part facilitate barrier-free accessibility to all levels. The old courtyard was glazed and serves as lightwell and new core of the complex: a courtyard for reading and meeting, grouping library and educational facilities around it. The library occupies the first and second floor, the educational facilities the levels above. Administration offices have been moved to the northern wing of the building. Former corridors function as exhibition galleries
