Oberstaufen - The "Oberstaufen Park" project was selected for one of the main prizes as part of the German Playroom Prize 2021.
The topic was "Together!"
The Oberstaufen Park project of the Oberstaufen market with its own tourism business was selected from a total of 31 submissions for one of the coveted main prizes as part of the German Playroom Prize 2021.
The special variety and differentiation of the offer in Oberstaufen convinced the jury as well as the planning implementation: “The park acts as a visitor magnet for families with and without children as well as young and old at a high level of design.
The variety of offers and the modeling of the terrain enable - across generations - a joint, eventful visit.
The regional reference through taking up geographical topics is also worth mentioning. "

The redesign of the former spa park to "Oberstaufen Park" was completed in autumn 2020 after three years of construction.
It was financed by the market town of Oberstaufen with a total investment of 2.28 million euros.
