astoc architects & planners have won first prize in the international competition for the new harbor and pier in senftenberg, germany. participating offices included landscape office; bgmr landschaftsarchitekten becker giseke mohren richard, berlin and engineering office; ecosystem saxonia gesellschaft für umweltsysteme gmbh, dresden.

the purpose of the competition was to design the harbour on the basis of an urban and a preliminary 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 in the tradition of the ‘sea bridge’ and as a new emblem for the region. the piers’ border area in the harbor at full length measures 470 m in length making it one of the longest piers in germany.

the project consists of  port facilities as well as a restaurant with meeting rooms overlooking the harbor.
