With the new Bürgerpark and the
civic center, a contemporary cultural setting has been created for Reutlingen
at the entrance to the medieval city. Following the main objectives of carving
out visual axes, marking pathways, and preserving natural space, the new
lighting strengthens the functions and evening atmosphere of this important
urban space.
