  • Festung Marienberg: Construction Phase 1 completed

    Gemeinsam mit Hoskins Architects freuen wir uns über die abgeschlossene Bauphase 1 beim Projekt Sanierung Festung Marienberg - Umbau zum Museum für Franken.
    Auf der Projektseite von Hoskins Architects gibt es dazu eine schöne Bildergalerie mit Erläuterungen:

    "Im Rahmen des Umbaus zum Museum für Franken wird die gesamte denkmalgeschützte Festungsanlage in mehreren Bauabschnitten saniert und umgebaut, um den heutigen Anforderungen als Museumsstandort gerecht zu werden. Ein sensibler Umgang mit dem Baudenkmal liegt dabei der gesamten Planung zugrunde.
    Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Verwendung nachhaltiger und historisch vorhandener Baustoffe wie Lehm, Kalk und Holz. Des Weiteren soll die Festung und das Museum barrierefrei erfahrbar werden.
    Das Projekt umfasst die innere Neustrukturierung und Umgestaltung der gesamten Kernburg auf einer Nutzungsfläche von insgesamt ca. 11.800 m². Dies beinhaltet die neue Dauerausstellung, Sonderausstellungsbereiche, Besucherinfrastruktur, Depots und Verwaltung des Museums.
    Im Bereich der historischen Vorburg wurden inzwischen ca. 900 m² Fläche für notwendige Infrastrukturen der Schloss- und Gartenverwaltung als erste Baumaßnahme umgesetzt."

  • Handover Zentrum für Islamische Theorie Universität Tübingen

    Minister President Kretschmann and Finance State Secretary Gisela Splett handed over the newly constructed Center for Islamic Theology to the University of Tübingen on Thursday evening. To mark the occasion, they brought a symbolic key. On the key are documented the construction projects of the state of Baden-Württember in Tübingen , among those three projects in which Wenzel + Wenzel have contributed: the Center for Molecular Biology of Plants (ZMBP), the Interfaculty Institute for Biochemistry (IFIB), and the most recent project, the new Center for Islamic Theology (ZITH) on the Theology Campus of the University of Tübingen.

    The Center for Islamic Theology was designed by Staab Architekten, Berlin, with Wenzel + Wenzel responsible for local construction supervision (LPH 8). Approximately 170 students and doctoral candidates, as well as seven professors, work, teach, and conduct research in the new building. Spanning 2,600 square meters, the facility includes offices, seminar rooms, and an extensive library. Additionally, it is also used by students from the Protestant and Catholic Theological Faculties and the Department of Psychology.

  • K1c in the Concular-Shop

    The revitalisation of the Schlossgarten quarter in Stuttgart's city centre includes the conversion of the former Karstadt building at Königstrasse 1c. The former department store will be replaced by innovative office and retail space with an open catering area facing the Schlossgarten. Sustainability, energy efficiency and climate protection play a major role in this building: the roof areas will be greened, not only with mosses and low grasses, but also designed as gardens. Where possible, external walls are also given a ‘green dress’ to help improve the urban climate.

    The renovation prioritises the preservation of the building fabric, compliance with environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria and climate and resource protection. We are working with Concular, Germany's largest shop for circular building materials, to conserve resources during the demolition of the current building stock and to provide them with new values in line with the circular economy. Individual components of the K1C are for sale via the Concular Shop, which can find a buyer before the actual dismantling.

    The materials come primarily from the commercial building stock. In addition to railings and shop windows, mullion and transom constructions and escalators can also be purchased, for example. You can buy everything here: shop.concular.de (external)

    The planned realisation on site will start in November. We wish everyone involved every success!

  • Three more awards for Karlsruhe Rail Tunnel

    STAATSPREIS BAUKULTUR 2024
    Awarded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry for Regional Development and Housing
    With the Baden-Württemberg State Prize for Building Culture, the state of Baden-Württemberg honours particularly innovative, exemplary and transferable solutions for the diverse planning and construction challenges in the state's cities and municipalities. 27 projects in nine categories were honoured with state awards and commendations in 2024. In a short video, Prof Ludwig Wappner, Managing Director of allmannwappner, presents the project and the lighting concept of the undergound stops on the occasion of the award. See video.

    HUGO-HÄRING-LANDESPREIS 2024
    Awarded by the Association of German Architects BDA Baden-Württemberg
    The award procedure has two stages. In the first stage, the Hugo Häring awards are presented. The light rail tunnel has now also reached the second stage: the Hugo Häring State Prize. From the jury's statement: "Underground stations are generally spaces that can be described as non-places. They do not have an unusual and identity-forming character. The light rail tunnel designed by allmannwappner with its holistic approach to station architecture fundamentally changes this rule." More information

    BEISPIELHAFTES BAUEN KARLSRUHE 2024
    Awarded by the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects
    The jury honoured 20 buildings as successful solutions to the respective building task in the ‘Exemplary Building in Karlsruhe’ competition. The jury described the new underground station by allmannwapper as an "example of the transformation to a transport-friendly city". Chaired by architect and urban planner Markus Weismann, it assessed 92 submissions for Exemplary Building in Karlsruhe according to criteria such as sustainability, design, urban context and handling of existing buildings. The award ceremony is planned for 24 October 2024. The award-winning buildings will then be presented in a travelling exhibition. Overview with all projects.

  • Universelle Ulm in Science Park III

    The sky is the limit - during the construction of Universelle Ulm in Science Park III, designed by architects Mühlich + Partner. Our colleague Vincent used a drone to capture impressions of the entire building complex with all three towers as well as brilliant detail shots. We published the film and photos on Instagram and LinkedIn.

    Science Park III and Universelle Ulm are part of the ‘Science City Ulm’. The idea behind this is to create an attractive environment for students and to offer optimal working and research conditions for business and research. According to the city of Ulm, around 11,500 people work in the Science City, including the clinics, and over 14,000 students are enrolled at the universities. The three towers of the Universelle Ulm are intended to create additional space for companies to settle in, and the rooms are flexibly adaptable for start-ups through to globally active companies.

    Many thanks for the great cooperation to all those involved in the construction!

  • Kaltensteinhalle Vaihingen awarded with Hugo-Häring-Plakette

    Congratulations! The Kaltensteinhalle, designed by Dietrich Untertrifaller Architekten and constructed by Knippershelbig, has been awarded the prestigious Hugo Häring Prize!

  • Construction Progress Residential Tower Meiller Gärten

    An eleven-storey residential tower block is being built in a prominent location as the entrance to the new Meiller Gärten neighbourhood in Munich. Allmannwappner won an international competition for the design and realisation of this new building. Wenzel + Wenzel are responsible for LPH 6 to 8.

    The design architects describe their concept as follows: ‘The high-rise and low-rise building correspond to the cubature of the masterplan. The high-rise building takes up the angle of the low-rise building in its structure - the result is a rotation of 45 degrees to the building contour. This optimises the alignment of the floor plans with regard to the direction of the sky and noise emissions from the railway and road. Like a pleated blind, the unfolded façade creates a sculptural and specific appearance. In some cases, protected balconies are created that cannot be seen and generate added value for the flats. The same applies to the integrated façade greening, which also highlights the sustainability aspirations of the entire neighbourhood. The use of renewable energies and the use of sustainable and ecological building materials consistently pursue this claim.’

    We wish all colleagues involved good construction progress!
