What would our cultural landscape be without the churches, monasteries and castles that are usually visible from afar? Many other public buildings such as town halls, museums, kindergartens, halls and community centres - often testimonies to past architectural styles and master builders - also characterise our towns, villages and landscape in the Black Forest. All the more reason for special attention to be paid to newly constructed representative buildings. Last but not least, they set standards that are transferred to their entire surroundings and have a real influence on them.
Public buildings have an immense influence on our everyday lives and our attitude to life. Day-care centres and schools can act as an initial spark to sensitise society at large to good regional building culture, thus initiating beacons of modern regional building culture and exemplary architecture. After all, public role models also inspire private builders and thus strengthen good, regional building in the Black Forest.
