Purpose of this competition was to design the new harbour on the basis of an urban study. The integration of the lake into the 70 square kilometers of navigable interconnection will further develop the tourist infrastructure of the region "Lausitzer Seenland". The new pier plays an important role as a new landmark for the region. The project consists of port facilities as well as a restaurant with meeting rooms overlooking the harbor.
