New shopping offerings and a higher quality of stay
After the renovation, the shopping centre will impress not only with its modern architecture and high-quality lounge areas, but also with a greatly expanded range of shops, restaurants and experience areas. The two strong brands Rituals and Snipes will move into the newly designed spaces as early as the beginning of 2026.

In addition, Lindaupark is in promising talks with other renowned anchor tenants who will enrich the centre with their strong brand worlds and thus create an inspiring, diverse and forward-looking shopping experience once construction work is completed in 2027.

This will create a mix of retail, services and restaurants that will enhance the location for both customers and partners alike. Lindaupark Managing Director Michael Schneckenburger emphasises: ‘With the new Lindaupark, we want to create an environment that offers our customers maximum comfort and a diverse shopping experience, while at the same time opening up optimal prospects for our partners.’

A striking entrance for Lindaupark
At the heart of the redesign is the comprehensive modernisation of the façade and main entrance. From the end of 2026, Lindaupark will present itself with an imposing entrance façade that sends a clear architectural signal and at the same time significantly improves the quality of the visitor experience. The new façade will provide an attractive setting for the cafés and restaurants on several levels, create an inviting atmosphere and improve the indoor climate through architectural shading. At the same time, it will enhance the urban design of Berliner Platz. Architect Florian Klee explains: ‘The façade is much more than an architectural statement. It creates an open, inviting atmosphere and at the same time makes an important contribution to the sustainability of the project.’

Convenient shopping – even during the renovation phases
The renovation will take place in individual stages, while Lindaupark remains open throughout. ‘Our top priority is to ensure that our customers can shop in a relaxed atmosphere and that our partners can continue to focus fully on their business,’ says Managing Director Michael Schneckenburger. This means that visitors will be able to experience the modernisation without it affecting their shopping experience.

At the same time, the adjacent Vierlinden quarter is being built. This modern residential and urban development project will create over 400 apartments, a daycare centre and space for retail, offices and commercial use. The quarter will be directly connected to Lindaupark via a direct access route. This will allow residents and visitors to move easily between the quarter and the shopping centre. Michael Schneckenburger adds: ‘With direct access from the Vierlinden quarter to Lindaupark, we are creating a new urban connection. Shopping, living and leisure are merging into a holistic urban experience.’

Modern design and feel-good atmosphere
Much has also been rethought inside Lindaupark. The shopping centre is being given a high-quality, timeless design that focuses on inviting lounge areas, spacious seating areas and warm lighting. While the bright plaza area invites visitors to linger, carefully placed lighting ensures that the individual shops are shown off to their best advantage. The ambience is complemented by modern digital elements, including large-format LED screens, installations in the atrium and impressive centrepieces. Florian Klee adds: ‘With the renovation of Lindaupark, we are creating much more than just a modern shopping centre. We are designing Lindau's new centre to be sustainable, regional and with a high quality of stay.’

Enjoyment and experience with panoramic views
A special highlight of the redesign will be the new panoramic floor: the current car park deck will be completely transformed into modern shopping areas, expanding Lindaupark by more than 7,000 square metres. The existing interior space will be directly connected to this area and comprehensively modernised, creating a harmonious, future-oriented shopping experience on a whole new level.

The heart of this new area is the Foodpark, which will open at the end of 2026. Covering around 1,250 square metres, this unique dining area will feature up to ten exciting vendors combining variety, quality and culinary creativity with an extraordinary ambience. The spacious terrace offers an impressive panoramic view of Lake Constance and the Alps, making the Foodpark a new culinary meeting place with supra-regional appeal.

‘The Foodpark is a central part of our vision for Lindaupark. Here, we combine cuisine, experience and regional identity in a unique way,’ emphasises project manager Stefan Barth.

Family-friendly and experience-oriented
Lindaupark is developing into a place where families of all ages can feel completely at home. As a popular meeting place for locals, visitors from the region and tourists, the centre will in future focus even more strongly on offerings that are specifically tailored to the needs of families.

In addition to a wide range of shopping and dining options, an innovative play and adventure world for children is being created that will be much more than a classic indoor playground. Here, the youngest visitors can give free rein to their curiosity, creativity and love of movement – while their parents relax and enjoy shopping or take a break in the cafés.

Complemented by attractive childcare services, this creates an environment in which families feel safe, welcome and well looked after. This will make a visit to Lindaupark a shared experience that combines shopping, leisure, enjoyment and relaxation into a harmonious whole – with the focus on family quality.

Sustainability as a guiding principle
The renovation is a consistently sustainable project. A new technical centre with geothermal energy and heat recovery, a large-scale photovoltaic system and durable, regional materials reduce energy consumption by more than 50 per cent despite the expansion. A total of 63 deep probes were drilled to a depth of up to 200 metres. Architect Florian Klee emphasises: ‘Sustainability is central to us in every detail. From materials to energy supply, our commitment to creating a sustainable and durable shopping centre is evident.’

Excellent accessibility in the four-country region
In addition to the existing underground car park with 283 parking spaces, the new multi-storey car park with more than 370 parking spaces will be directly connected to all levels of Lindaupark. At the same time, Lindau-Reutin railway station, the future new central bus station, a well-designed guidance system and the proximity to the emerging Vierlinden district ensure optimal accessibility on foot, by bicycle or by public transport. Michael Schneckenburger adds: ‘Good connections and short distances are crucial to ensure that visitors from Lindau and the entire four-country region can reach Lindaupark comfortably.’

A lot has happened since the project was officially launched with the ground-breaking ceremony in December 2023. Various specialist companies spent almost the entire first year working on the expert gutting of the building, which was barely noticeable to the outside observer, and, above all, on the concrete renovation of the first three floors. The work on the supporting structure and foundations posed a considerable challenge to the schedule in some cases – and at the same time demonstrates the high quality and expertise of the specialist planners and companies involved.

Technology meets monument – renovation under special conditions
In particular, the condition of the approximately 100-year-old existing concrete was significantly worse than predicted, and during an 18-month construction phase, 54 column bases (18 of which were double), 54 joists, 200 secondary beams and 280 ceiling panels were repaired, among other things. In the process, 175 tonnes of construction waste were disposed of and 90 tonnes of existing concrete were replaced. The work was challenging and, in some cases, dangerous, as concrete pieces up to 1 m² in size broke off during the ceiling repairs, for example. As a result, almost 180 tree trunks were used to secure the building, and the safety coordinators ensured that, despite the adverse conditions, no personal injuries have occurred to date.

The foundations of the historic building were also unclear at first. No fewer than 30 soundings finally provided the necessary certainty. For two new development cores, a large-scale soil replacement was carried out with a lean concrete layer over 1 metre thick. A total of around 1,000 tonnes of broken concrete was removed from the ground, along with an additional 3,500 tonnes of construction waste from the interior and exterior, using 250 truckloads, and disposed of in accordance with regulations.

To protect against rising damp, almost 1,400 holes were drilled into the outer wall at floor slab level at intervals of 10 cm and sealed with 4,500 kg of cavity filler and 2,000 litres of injection material. This was a task that required the utmost precision.

Around 13 tonnes of wood were professionally dismantled from the historic roof truss. Around 90% of the original components, including purlins, posts and rafters, were preserved. In addition, around 165 new wooden elements have been added and each rafter has been lashed down. For the renovation of the half-timbered walls, large parts of the infill had to be removed. The old half-timbered bricks were removed, cleaned and almost completely re-walled into the half-timbering. This was a highly complex task, but one that was appropriate for a listed building.

As could then be seen from the outside, in addition to the self-supporting façade scaffolding above the southern front building, a free-standing working scaffold was erected at a height of 17 metres for the work on the building, supported by two 22-metre-long steel girders. This complex measure was necessary because the historic roof could not be used as a support due to its lack of load-bearing capacity.

With the help of deformation-compatible measurements, it was determined that the storage building had tilted approximately 30 cm from northeast to southwest due to historical settlement. All new floor structures therefore had to follow this inclination in order to ensure future use. To ensure the correct height, over 150 metre marks were set.

In the meantime, work has also begun on renovating the windows. Fifty-one windows from the original construction period are being renovated in accordance with conservation guidelines, while a further 132 windows are being rebuilt based on plans faithful to the originals and fitted into the existing building.

At the peak of construction, up to 30 skilled workers from a wide range of trades were working simultaneously on the construction site – a logistical feat due to the condition of the building, which was made possible by the high level of motivation of the contracted companies and specialist planners.

Client and future tenant satisfied with progress to date
Sven Schulz, sole shareholder of the real estate company Monvue, is satisfied: ‘What has been achieved here since the beginning of 2024 is remarkable. The combination of historical respect, structural substance and modern requirements is a great challenge – but also a great opportunity for Ravensburg. I would like to thank all the craftsmen, planners and partners for their commitment and hope that we can maintain this impressive positive momentum until completion in October 2026.’

Mayor Dr. Daniel Rapp adds: ‘The Speicherhaus is a key project for Ravensburg – historically, functionally and architecturally. Today's celebration is a clear sign that, despite all the challenges, the work here is being carried out to the highest standards. Our employees can already look forward to modern and attractive workplaces.’

Next steps
With the successful completion of the roof work, the installation of the new stairwells and lift cores can now begin. This will be followed by the interior construction phase. In addition to the technical building equipment, the floor structures will be constructed and the façade and outdoor facilities will be finalised. Completion has been delayed by six months due to the complex renovation of the existing building and is now scheduled for October 2026.

The renovated building will then serve as a modern workplace for up to 200 city administration employees. With around 5,600 square metres of space, new, energy-efficient working environments will be created in accordance with the DNGB Gold Standard, complemented by potential catering facilities on the ground floor.

Monvue has thus expanded its real estate portfolio, which consists mainly of commercial, retail and residential properties in the Lake Constance/Upper Swabia region, with another attractive property that is particularly well known in the eastern Lake Constance area. Covering almost 20,000 square meters, Lindaupark offers customers from the entire four-country Lake Constance region a wide variety of shopping opportunities in a highly attractive location in terms of infrastructure.

Lindaupark, which has been successfully managed and developed by the previous owners since it opened in 2000, will continue to be developed as planned under the new owner. As part of this, the property will initially be refurbished and modernized until the end of 2025.

The management and administration of the property will continue to be the responsibility of Schneckenburger OPM GmbH and its Managing Director Michael Schneckenburger, who has played a key role in the development of Lindaupark together with the previous owner for many years. In this context, Monvue sees itself as a long-term investor with the aim of enabling the Lindaupark to develop in a future-oriented manner so that customers in the eastern four-country region of Lake Constance will have even more attractive shopping and experience opportunities.

The acquisition is subject to the city of Lindau not exercising its right of first refusal.
