Timber Town Straubing
Sustainable timber construction
Designed as a low-emission neighborhood, Timber Town makes an important contribution to climate protection through a 60% lower energy consumption. This is implemented by the central power and heat supply via a combined heat and power unit (CHP). The gasification of wood, the complete utilisation of renewable biomass from the region, the photovoltaic systems on all roofs and TESLA battery systems in the basement ensure independence from the public electricity grid. The building is also sustainable in terms of its construction method, which becomes a model example of ecological building with the reusable material wood thanks to the use of individually produced wooden room modules. Further advantages include very good sound insulation, the high energy standard (KfW 40plus) and natural cooling thanks to wooden facades and extensively greened roofs.
Sustainability and climate protection are also of great importance when it comes to the design of the outdoor facilities. Otherwise sealed surfaces, such as the paths through the neighbourhood and the outdoor parking spaces, are produced exclusively with eco-paving or concrete paving with grass joints, which is considered to be particularly water-permeable and thus enriches the groundwater. The green areas consist of extensive meadows rich in flowers that, together with the natural stone walls created, promote biodiversity, create biotopes and provide a home for sand lizards, a protected species.
Area and connection
Everything you need is close to hand
Located close to the city and with good connections to public transport, Timber Town scores thanks to its short distance from all the important shops for everyday needs. The “Gäubodenpark” shopping centre can be reached on foot in just five minutes, while both a pharmacy and bakery are just 10 minutes’ walk away. With the city bus line 4, you can be in the centre of Straubing or at the main station in no time. The stops for lines 3 and 6 are also no further than one kilometre away. The train connections from Straubing station lead to Munich, Regensburg and Passau. Furthermore, the ICE trains on the Passau–Hamburg and Berlin–Vienna routes also stop here. The area is also ideally connected to the nearby A3 and A92 motorways as well as the B8 and B20 through roads.

The apartments
Facilities
Energy efficiency, environmental standards and state-of-the-art comfort
Unique in terms of architecture and aesthetics, the buildings are not only absolute highlights on the outside but also on the inside. Wood dominates the first impression in an unusually modern and charmingly pleasant way. Clear structures and visible grain create a pleasurable living experience. They lend the apartments a restrained country house character without appearing rustic. On the contrary, the design of the exposed wooden walls or ceilings with a white glaze emphasises the warmth of the rooms and also radiates sustainability into the interior of the apartment. Open layouts, practical floor plans and lovingly accentuated interior design details leave nothing to be desired when it comes to contemporary living.
- Triple glazing
- Electrically operated roller shutters or external Venetian blinds
- An independent system for each residential unit to control the lighting, shutters, heating and main door intercom system
- Video intercom
- Photovoltaic system

The location
Straubing
A modern economy against a historical backdrop
The tradition-steeped ducal city on the Danube is a strong business location in the administrative region of Lower Bavaria. Since 2017, Straubing has held the title of a university city, and it has been expanding the Straubing campus as a branch of the Technical University of Munich ever since, which means that the number of students, but also the number of professorships and chairs, is steadily increasing. The proximity to the three BMW plants in Dingolfing, Landshut and Regensburg also makes the city an important location for the automotive supply industry.
Straubing presents itself as a city with history. Gothic architecture characterises the cityscape, and the magnificent patrician houses still bear witness today to the prosperity of Straubing’s merchants. The ducal castle on the Danube, the city tower and the Baroque Ursuline Church form an impressive medieval backdrop. The Gäubodenmuseum is one of the city’s cultural landmarks and boasts exceptional special exhibitions on the more-than-800-year history of the city, which was founded in 1218 by Ludwig I of Wittelsbach, Duke of Bavaria.
Life in Straubing
Family. Leisure. Sport.
The familial charm, the varied offering of leisure activities and events, and the proverbial friendliness of its roughly 48,000 inhabitants make Straubing a sought-after place to live. As a shopping city, it captivates with a variety of offers and special events, such as the “Sleepless” shopping night or the Sunday shopping day in October. Numerous music events regularly inspire residents and guests with their range of music. Around 100 sports clubs provide active recreational sports of various disciplines. With the AQUAtherm adventure pool, which offers swimming in medicinal water, the Gäuboden Folk Festival, the Herzogstadtlauf city running race, and, last but not least, the Christmas market in a historic ambience, Straubing regularly attracts visitors from all over the region to the city.
The economy and scientific landscape of the city, which is internationally recognised as a “Region of Renewable Resources” and strongly committed to economic, ecological and socially sustainable development, are modern and powerful. As a centre for green biotechnology, Straubing draws on the entire resources of the Technical University of Munich, which offers top-level teaching and research worldwide – and, through this cooperation, it also keeps the local economy continuously growing.
