The foundation ceremony on 26 April 2018 marked the official start of the construction work for the Urban Soul project in Bonn.
The large construction site at the main railway station will eventually accommodate three independent new builds and close an urban development gap in the inner city, the “Bonner Loch” (Bonn hole) which will soon be a thing of the past.
The ceremony met with great public interest and was attended by the Lord Mayor of Bonn, Mr Sridharan, representatives of the client die developer Projektentwicklung GmbH, Mr Mühling and Mr Julius, a representative of the anchor tenant for the Motel One hotel, Mr Weiland, and the architect Mr Wens of CROSS Architecture.
By the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven in 2020, the new gateway into the city is to be completed.
