Friedrich-Ebert-Platz, Remscheid

Friedrich-Ebert-Platz in Remscheid and the central bus station, located between the city centre and important public buildings, are of great urban significance. The aim is to design a place of mobility and, in particular, a lively urban space. In future, the southern part of the square with its loose tree cover will offer a high quality of stay at a distance from the traffic and strengthen the green connection between the Alleecenter and the neighbouring Bökerspark. The bus station is seen as a place of movement and transit and is organised linearly along Elberfelder Strasse. It is designed to minimise traffic areas and provide a high degree of flexibility. Four buses per direction of travel are grouped together at four bus platforms with independent entry and exit options. The proposed layout offers short walking distances when changing buses and ensures intuitive orientation for passengers.
