A lot is also happening with regard to the next building blocks of the urban district: The renowned Viennese architectural office Delugan Meissl is the winner of the architectural competition for Tower West and East. According to the jury, Delugan Meissl’s idea is captivating because of its successful connection of the new Atlantic Hotel in Tower West to Erfurt’s old town, among other things. The characteristic feature of the 50 meter high Tower West will be a wood and glass façade, which is based on the original buildings in Erfurt’s old town, especially the half-timbered houses of the Krämerbrücke. With Tower West, the Atlantic Hotel Group is investing around 45 million euros and building a modern four-star-plus category hotel with around 200 rooms. According to current plans, it will be opened in three years.
