Today marked the official opening of the Allianz Park Stuttgart. Located in the south of the Baden-Württemberg state capital, the new office campus was designed by Gerber Architekten and embodies a sustainable and open concept. The design combines climate-responsive architecture with future-oriented workspaces for around 4,500 employees.
At the heart of the campus lies a central plaza topped by a light-filled glass dome, surrounded by a 17-story high-rise and several organically shaped standalone buildings. Green inner courtyards and a Sky Lounge with panoramic views of Stuttgart complete the campus structure. The staggered, open layout of the buildings preserves a vital fresh air corridor from Vaihingen to the city center, which is nestled in a valley. In his address, Dr. Ruedi Kubat highlighted the architectural vision behind the new site: “The building is intentionally designed to encourage collaboration and interaction among employees on-site.”
In the presence of numerous representatives from business and politics, Professor Eckhard Gerber ceremoniously handed over the key to the Allianz building.
The Allianz Park is based on a holistic sustainability concept: geothermal energy, photovoltaic systems, activated concrete cores, and DGNB Platinum certification all reflect a forward-looking approach to resource use. Flexible office concepts – including desk sharing, working cafés, retreat spaces, and collaboration areas – support agile working practices. Convenient access to public transportation, EV charging stations, and a publicly accessible sports hall further enhance the campus’s integration with the urban and social environment.
With the Allianz Park, a work environment has been created that unites architecture, climate protection, and social responsibility.
