Albert Speer proposes a design for a football stadium
The award for the project management of the proposed Regensburg football stadium is not yet legally binding, as reported by Mittelbayerische Zeitung [1]. The contract has been given to Albert Speer and Partners GmbH, a company with a rich history in sports and Olympic bid planning.
Albert Speer and Partners GmbH has previously worked on significant projects, including the bids for Munich 2018, Leipzig 2012, and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa [2]. Moreover, they were instrumental in the planning concept for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
In Regensburg, the company will be working alongside billion-dollar consulting firm Ernst & Young on the project [3]. The exact amount Albert Speer and Partners GmbH will be paid by the city of Regensburg for their services remains undisclosed.
According to an administrative document from last December, a vague sum of "over 200,000 euros" was earmarked for the project manager [4]. However, the total costs of the Regensburg football stadium project, including the project manager's fee, have not been fully disclosed [5]. Similarly, the costs for Albert Speer and Partners GmbH to oversee the project and any fees from Ernst & Young related to this project are not specified in the available search results [6].
The city of Regensburg has yet to reveal the final costs of the project to the public [7]. The project manager's fee, as stated in the administrative document, is a sum exceeding 200,000 euros, but the exact amount remains unclear [8].
Notably, the eldest son of the architect Albert Speer (World Capital "Germania") has experience in football and sports projects, adding a unique perspective to the Regensburg project [9]. The company will be responsible for the design, construction, and final handover of the Regensburg football stadium.
As the project progresses, more details about the costs and specifics of the Regensburg football stadium project are expected to be revealed. Until then, the city of Regensburg and Albert Speer and Partners GmbH continue their work towards the development of the new stadium.
