General information
With particular consideration given to energy, social and economic issues, the construction of around 170 apartments in Überlingen represented a decisive step towards significantly more affordable rental housing. In addition, an important and essential contribution was made to the implementation of the regional energy and climate protection concept, as the new neighbourhood was built with a climate-neutral heat supply.
