Symbol of environmentally friendly mobility and important link between urban and open space

In a prominent location, connecting the central bus station (ZOB) and the park, the new bicycle station in Tübingen welcomes its visitors. It offers a total of 2,000 bicycle parking spaces, 1,100 of which are located in the underground bicycle garage. The winning design by the Stuttgart-based architectural firm Haas Cook Zemmrich / Studio 2050 was implemented: an inviting, open-sided wooden structure whose dynamic form blends harmoniously into its surroundings.

The above-ground section houses various service facilities, such as the bicycle rental, the workshop, and the café, which, with its outdoor seating area, extends into the adjacent park. NauticProfil® luminaires are found here both in the ceilings and along the sides of the staircases, providing optimal and efficient general lighting.

To create a bright and welcoming atmosphere, the bicycle station's functions are generously illuminated and thus easily readable. Cyclists access the underground parking spaces through the wide, light-filled opening of the ramp. NauticProfil® LED strips of the Navigator type, mounted on both sides, illuminate the over 100-meter-long, curved path downwards, providing visitors with safety and orientation. The luminaires are comprehensively protected from weather and environmental influences by their PU encapsulation. Thanks to their very long lifespan and low energy consumption, they are the ideal choice for many indoor and outdoor lighting solutions.
