Standstill at the Schwabenland Tower: What happens to the failed project?

Fellbach, Deutschland - The Schwabenlandtower in Fellbach, once a symbol of ambitious construction projects, has been quiet for eight years. Where there was once busy construction workers and busy hustle and bustle, only emptiness and despair can be felt today. The so -called "skyscraper" has developed into an eyesore, and national media cannot help but the mocking comments. But not only criticism becomes loud - creative usage suggestions sprout like mushrooms out of the ground!

The history of the Swabia tower is a tragedy in several files. After the construction stop, which was announced almost eight years ago, the then investor finally admitted his bankruptcy. Since then, the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office has investigated two accused because of bankruptcy and market manipulation. The question of whether and when this case comes before the Stuttgart Regional Court remains unanswered. A court spokesman recently made it clear that due to the large number of other procedures, no decision can be expected this year.

original plans and creative ideas

Originally, the tower should become a modern residential and commercial building, but reality looks different. While the city is waiting for progress, the ideas for alternative uses bubble up. From a bird's house to a training site - the suggestions are as diverse as absurd. The Fellbach citizens wonder: what could become of this building that is more than just a memorial for failed dreams?
