Green Building Supermarkt in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim, Ecological supermarket in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim, Germany.
Green Building Supermarkt is a grocery store in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim built with a wooden frame of local pine and larch. The building features a rooftop aquaponik system, a car park with electric vehicle charging, and bicycle parking for shoppers.
This REWE Group pilot project opened in 2021 and marked a shift toward resource-conscious retail building design. The store represented one of the first examples of a supermarket integrating environmental protection into its structural planning.
The supermarket integrates rooftop farming through an aquaponik system that produces basil and fish locally. This form of urban agriculture shows how modern retail can create space for local food production right above the shopping floor.
The store offers pickup stations for pre-ordered items, short-term parking, and bicycle racks. Visitors can charge electric vehicles at dedicated stations or arrive by bike for easier access.
The building collects rainwater for sanitation and uses climate-intelligent heating and cooling systems for energy efficiency. The entire operation runs entirely on renewable electricity.
