Since opening in 2000, Lindaupark has become one of the most popular shopping and meeting places on Lake Constance. Every year, more than 3.5 million visitors from Lindau, the surrounding region and neighbouring Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein visit the shopping centre. After 25 successful years, Lindaupark is now entering a new era. With an investment volume of over 70 million euros, the shopping centre is being comprehensively modernised, expanded and sustainably redesigned. The aim is to transform Lindau's new centre into a place that uniquely combines shopping, enjoyment, socialising and urban life.
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.’
