Modernisation, refurbishment and extension of the Town Hall complex and the municipal library in the heart of Rheine.
The town hall center in Rheine was built in 1976 by Robert Ingenhoven. In the following decades, the building was partially extended and modified (1994, 2007).
After more than 40 years, the diverse building has been upgraded to improve its energy efficiency, reorganised and expanded in terms of its function.
The Town Hall complex consists of two building sections. These two sections are now linked even more closely by a passageway. This passageway – which is two storeys high and features large skylights – and the creation and deepening of two new courtyards contribute significantly to enhancing the quality of the interior spaces through natural lighting and newly created visual connections.
Parts of the building have been given a new façade and an extension has been added by raising the roof, opening it up towards the Staelschen Hof, an inner-city square. The majority of the façade, which had not yet been refurbished, has been made more energy-efficient.
The existing council chamber was relocated, converted into a multi-purpose event hall and fitted out to the highest technical standards. To the south of the new inner courtyard is a section of the municipal library, which can use the courtyard as an outdoor reading garden. The library has been extended and given more space. It is now also located on the ground floor.
