"The celestial body 'Jupiter' receives German City Building Prize"
The city of Hamburg has been making strides in sustainable urban development, and the latest recognition comes in the form of the Special Prize at the German Urban Planning Award 2025. The "Jupiter" project, led by the Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft, has been transforming a former department store on Mönckebergstraße into a vibrant hub of culture, innovation, and interaction.
This creative department store now houses a bar, changing exhibitions, pop-ups, concerts, shops, educational programs, and a plethora of cultural and creative offerings. The largest of 91 areas creatively used interim by the Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft's Frei_Fläche program, Jupiter spans 8,000 square metres.
The Jupiter project is not just a local success story, but also a national one. Last year, it also won the Polis Award, making it the second national award for the project. This recognition reinforces Hamburg's commitment to fostering creative ideas in the city centre.
However, the details of how Hamburg is supporting creative ideas are not yet fully disclosed. One such example is the Future Fashion Lab, a sustainable fashion initiative that has recently opened in the city. Its focus is on promoting eco-friendly practices within the fashion industry.
Another significant aspect of the Jupiter project is its restoration concept, developed by an architect or firm recognised for this work. The exact name of the developer is not currently available.
The Future Fashion Lab, while not mentioned to have won any awards previously, is an integral part of the creative industry's transition to a digital economy. The location and size of the Future Fashion Lab are not specified in the current information.
The German Urban Planning Award, granted for 45 years by the German Academy for Urban Planning and Regional Planning (DASL), honours concepts that innovatively revive idle infrastructures under the theme "Renovation Culture in the Circular City". The Special Prize at this year's award recognises the Jupiter project's significant contribution to urban development, making it a beacon of sustainability and creativity in Hamburg.
