After carrying out inspection tours of 58 contenders, the jury awarded 12 prizes for “Exemplary Construction in the Zollernalbkreis district from 2009 to 2015”. According to the jury, the refurbishment of the Lochenbad is a successful example of the preservation of a valuable facility in the infrastructure of the area. The 1970s building fabric was aptly redesigned with simple means and a coherent colour scheme and in keeping with the requirements of a contemporary swimming pool. The award ceremony is to be held on November 19th in the administrative district office in Balingen.
