自2018年12月起,凯尔市和斯特拉斯堡市的联系比以往任何时候都要好,现在通过一条新的有轨电车线路跨越莱茵河的边界连接起来。斯特拉斯堡是欧洲的首都,因此是欧洲统一的象征。

Since December 2018, the cities of Kehl and Strasbourg are now better connected than ever, now linked by a new tram line over the border across the Rhine. Strasbourg is Europe’s capital and thus a symbol for Europe’s unity.

法国的斯特拉斯堡和德国的凯尔之间新的公共交通连接,强调了这些位于欧盟中心的国家的凝聚力。在法国一侧,扎哈-哈迪德于2001年为终点站设计了一个景观式的空间折叠。

The new public transport connection between Strasbourg in France and Kehl in Germany underscores the cohesion of these countries at the center of the European Union. On the French side, a landscape-like spatial fold designed by Zaha Hadid was created for the terminal station in 2001.

在线路的另一端,在德国一侧的凯尔市政厅,现在已经建立了一个站台,这是一个由明亮的圆形裸露的混凝土圆盘组成,在一个基础设施雕塑中浓缩了动态性、平衡性、灵活性和流动性等方面。两个航站楼都有独特的建筑特点,日常的 “小边界交通 “在两个航站楼之间来回穿梭。

At the other end of the line, at Kehl City Hall on the German side, a stop has now been erected, a composition of bright round, exposed concrete discs that condenses aspects of dynamism, balance, lability, and mobility in an infrastructural sculpture. Both terminals are characterized by unique architecture, and everyday “minor border traffic” commutes between the two.
