Set amid the perimeter block pattern development dating from the Gründerzeit era, the community center is built in a corner position. The structure enters into a volumetric dialogue with the adjacent building, the former site of an electrical company that was established by architect Wilhelm Braun jr. in the 1960s and is now also part of the city council. The new building draws a large crowd of visitors due to the community services offered, thus its prominent appearance is justified. This has been accomplished with classic tools: skillful proportions and subtle plasticity.

The composition of the volumes consisting of the existing and the new building includes a tower-shaped, vertically structured centerpiece that is slightly removed from the street and two wings along the building line. While the older building section is structured horizontally with the continuous aprons and the ribbon glazing, the new building wing at first appears to have been merely outfitted with a simple perforated façade, but it pays to take a closer look. The window openings are big enough to pierce through the L-block without creating a framed structure. The windows are structured in a larger, fixed section, mounted flush with the façade, which reinforces the structure, thus reducing the massiness of the wall element, and a smaller, elevated window area that is mounted as a window vent flush with the building interior. As a result the plasticity of the façade has been preserved. The subtle classic architectural design elements of the proportions and façade reliefs lend grace to the building, appropriate to its use. The entrance is placed laterally, reintroducing the theme of the “Schopf” (a loggia at-grate level accessed via the main entrance or from inside the building). The vestibule leads to the youth services department on the ground floor and the entrance to the community services section, where general information can be obtained, while the registrar’s office, the social welfare office and the legal department are located on the upper levels. The interior is structured on one side of a corridor with a parallel, straight staircase. The wedding chamber has been placed prominently in an angular position of the second floor, while the legal department located in the old building section was extended to the recessed top floor of the new building. Furthermore, the top floor of the existing building section has been outfitted with a recreation and community room featuring a small kitchen. Determining the building uses and functional details proved to be complex and challenging tasks for the architects. They did however not deem it as necessary to reflect this in the clearly structured façade.
