A Park with Bridges

Close to the town of Frauenfeld in the canton Thurgau (north-east Switzerland) the fluvial landscape around the small Murg river was used by the army as a training area for a long time. Later abandoned, it became a forgotten piece of land with growing bushes and trees, a paradise for birds and rascals. As usual, in the 1990es suddenly some people saw the chance to use the wasteland as an industrial estate. But there arouse some opposition: it was mainly Architect Thomas Hasler who proposed the local authorities to transform the 44'000 m² of land between national highway and the city of Frauenfeld into an attractive public park. Therefore it was a private initiative and a lot of promoting discussions which led to the realization of the Murgauenpark, achieved finally in summer 2015. Architect Hasler had set up a team which comprised a landscape architect, hydraulic engineers as well as a bridge engineer. A system of hills, temporary flooded valleys, promenades and bridges form the infrastructure of a new artificial landscape.
