The planned buildings on the central square are still controversial. If the Forum Middle Rhine against the will of most of the Koblenz population is realized such as the model in the Middle Rhine - is presented Museum, then sets an unfortunate tradition in the middle of the city, since the end of World War II is: We have in the middle of Koblenz a foreign body, the aesthetic and architectural building is contrary to the city tradition. The Forum is the Middle Rhine, with its two building structures not related to its architecture and urban historic environment. The flowing shape with rounded corners is one of the main features of the architectural history of the 30 - years (Art Deco). Who are the many projects commissioned architects Benthem Crouwel from Amsterdam looks gets the impression that the company produces inner-city buildings for culture and trade on the assembly line and by investors in the cities raises without having to worry about the respective Stadtindividualitäten.
The dark green band, which is to conceal the roof of parking spaces in the upper part of the retail center, is sold as a "tribute to the wine region." It is intended to represent stylized vine leaves and branches, the great from the 1.25 times 1.25 meters squares punched out of sheet metal are. Very appropriate: sheets, such as car plates as decoration for a parking garage. Such sheet plants, the existing Green deficit be balanced on the court.
And the green island with its nearly 400 square meters of nothing more than a green lining of the main exhaust of the air conditioner.
The model is for all of Koblenz in the Rhine River Museum accessible. Every citizen - should use the range, the model to look at themselves and make a picture of it - the actual donor to the Middle Rhine Forum. Perhaps one or the other will understand how the future of the center of Koblenz will actually look like. Perhaps he will then come to the conclusion that Koblenz gets used a cold, strange heart.
