Our project „Dorsten Train Station Renovation“ was awarded the Otto-Borst Prize 2026 in the category „Urban Building Block“ for urban renewal. The prize awarded by the Forum Stadt – Netzwerk historischer Städte e. V. recognizes projects that develop historical structures, enable contemporary uses, and strengthen the identity of places. The award confirms the special contribution of the Bürgerbahnhof to future-oriented urban renewal.
During an on-site visit in mid-July, the Bürgerbahnhof was presented together with the Technical Deputy of the city of Dorsten, Holger Lohse, the Feja + Kemper Architects architectural firm, and our partner Markus Pieper. In addition to interested visitors, Dennis Radtke, MP, was also in attendance.
The focus was on the question of what can be achieved through EU funding. The Bürgerbahnhof Dorsten provides an exemplary example of how the combination of urban planning, architecture, and open space planning can transform a previously unused space into a vibrant and identity-enhancing urban building block.
