Kornmarktplatz
The new townhouse on the centrally located Kornmarktplatz in Bregenz is intended to make an independent contribution to the cultural and public life of the city on Lake Constance. The new five-story building houses a small hotel, a function room for cultural events, and a private apartment, preserving the original historic façade so that the building fits seamlessly into the existing context of the city. Built in the 17th century, the building has housed various programs; it has been a brewery, a movie theater, a bank, a furniture store, and more recently a bar and club, all the while undergoing significant alterations with these transformations. The façade facing Kornmarktplatz has also been changed several times to reflect its respective use. The building’s current neo-baroque appearance dates to its use as a bank at the beginning of the 20th century. Following a roof fire, the building remained empty for years, consequently the building fabric suffered greatly and could no longer be preserved. The historic Kornmarktplatz represents the social and cultural center of the city between Lake Constance and the local mountain Pfänder.
