Kröpke is Hannover’s most central square in the city centre. From this exposed location, a radical transformation of the existing building stock from the 1970s has revitalised the urban space and created a building like no other – a building that presents itself in scale and proportion as a pleasant part of the city, without sacrificing any of its expressive appearance. Modifications to the building complex also include a passageway, which is open to the central underground square and the crossing point of several underground lines. The formerly open passageway is now covered.
