The Schönhof-Viertel Baugruppen-Areal is part of the broader Schönhof-Viertel development in Frankfurt-Bockenheim, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The project turns the former Siemens site into a new urban quarter with around 2,000 apartments, plus a primary school, several daycare centres, retail, services, office and commercial space, and a large public park of about 28,000 m².264
According to the project page, development began in 2019, following the city’s vision for an inner-city mixed-use district with housing for different income groups and the infrastructure needed for everyday life.[metadata] The site text quotes Frankfurt Mayor Mike Josef on the aim of creating a diverse neighbourhood for all social groups.[metadata] The development is planned to include roughly two-thirds rental housing and one-third for sale, with about 30% of all homes publicly subsidised.[metadata]6
The project is situated in Bockenheim, a well-connected western district of Frankfurt, close to the Bockenheimer Warte, Westbahnhof, and major city destinations such as the Messe and the city centre.[metadata]4 The broader quarter is being realised by multiple architectural teams across separate building plots, reflecting a deliberately varied urban design.4
The available sources also indicate that the wider Schönhof-Viertel is a large-scale urban regeneration project on a former industrial site, designed to combine housing, education, mobility, and local amenities in one compact neighbourhood.65
