The centrally positioned open staircase is not only a movement and communication zone, but is an exposure element for the inside-recumbent zones of utilisation with the generously glazed upper light. The facades, with the large apertures, are understood like shop-windows, which permit varied and exciting views in the surrounding town space. The external, brighter window areas serve the reading zones and stay zones, partially furniture with an up and down movement are integrated which the visitor can use as a table or a bench.

The “Media Centre Oberkirch” was decided in 2007 within the scope of a competition by the architecture office Wurm & Wurm for himself. Start of construction was in November, 2008, completion of the building was in February, 2010.
The following units of utilisation with a total area of 2100 square metres are in the building.
Media Centre (former town library) = 1000 square metres
Event space = 190 square metres
