An impressive construction site for an impressive development

A spectacular new building is currently under construction in central Berlin, less than a mile away from the Brandenburg Gate and right on top of the former border between eastern and western Germany. It’s going to be the new headquarters for Axel Springer SE, the publishing house responsible for the German tabloid BILD, among other publications. Designed by famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, the building is located on a 10,000 m² plot of land between Schuetzenstrasse, Zimmerstrasse und Jerusalemer Strasse. Tracing the course of the Wall diagonally through the building as a void to creating an expansive interior atrium, it will fascinate architecture and history fans alike.

The perfect solution for a lakeside project

When the operetta ‘The White Horse Inn’ is staged on the waters of Ammersee lake, the 350-strong audience will be seated on a new Layher grandstand with tip-up seats. Stefan und Johannes Dankel, brothers and managing directors of event technology service provider Opera GmbH & Co. KG, have extended their portfolio of exclusive event marquees and event technology to include grandstands and they collaborated with Layher to overcome the special challenges associated with this exposed lakeside location.

Flexible structural protection with a temporary cassette roof solution

The Cistercian monastery Rechentshofen is located to the south east of Hohenhaslach, a town in Germany’s Stuttgart metropolitan area. The monastery was constructed around the year 1240, when the Gothic period began to shape local architecture. Today, the entire breathtaking ensemble of buildings is under heritage protection and is currently undergoing extensive renovations to make space for a generous equestrian centre. The coming months will see the experts start work on the dilapidated old blacksmith building located on the property. 

A job for genuine scaffolding pioneers in Wiesbaden-Naurod

Marcus Nachbauer, Managing Director of Eugen Nachbauer Gerüstbau GmbH & Co. KG, received a phone call at an unusual moment – before a project had even been put out to tender. That’s because the stonemasons, plasterers, roofers and carpenters who would be renovating the outside of the Protestant Church in the Wiesbaden suburb of Naurod couldn’t be contracted until the church had found a scaffolding company with the expertise to overcome the technical challenges of scaffolding this unusual building.
